Pema

Domestic Shorthair · Female

Orange tabby with white markings Pema (born in 2020) came to the shelter with kittens from a rural house. Whether mice will ever become a social household cat - it's hard to say. The shelter, where animals live in groups and staff have limited time for targeted and regular socialization, will not achieve much progress in Pema's currently reserved communication with people. Otherwise - calm, well-behaved kitten.

Tīģerkrāsas ar baltu kažoka nēsātāja Pema (dzimusi 2020. gadā) patversmē nonāca ar kaķēniem no kādas lauku mājas. Vai mice kādreiz kļūs par sociālu mājas kaķi – mums grūti spriest. Patversmē, kur dzīvnieki dzīvo barā un darbiniekiem pamaz laika mērķtiecīgai un regulārai socializēšanai, lielāku progresu Pemas šobrīd atturīgajai komunikācijai ar cilvēku neiegūsim. Citādi – nosvēra, mierīga, kārtīga kaķenīte.

About Pema

What life with Pema looks like

Pema is a adult domestic shorthair cat waiting at Labās Mājas in Riga.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇱🇻Adopting from Latvia

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pema, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pema?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Labās Mājas handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pema on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pema if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Labās Mājas will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Pema already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Pema isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Labās Mājas early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pema and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (LV). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
