Pūcīte

Female · Young · 1 year

A cute little cat was found by someone in their first-floor apartment under the bed - she had entered through the balcony overnight. In the morning, they questioned neighbors about which cat was missing. It turned out that an adjacent rented apartment became vacant and at the same time a wealthy cat appeared on the street. Unfortunately, the owners of the rented apartment where the finders lived did not allow them to keep the cat, so Pūcīte ended up in the shelter. The little cat got her name because of her expressive face - she has no shy or owlish character traits. She is sweet, playful and gentle. However, as soon as something sudden or incomprehensible happens, the cat can get confused and try to hide (most likely, at home she will like to rummage under the blanket, sleeping next to her owners). Therefore, we recommend adoption in a quiet environment without young children present.

Jauko kaķenīti kādi ļaudis vienrīt atrada sava pirmā stāva dzīvoklī zem gultas – pa nakti viņa bija ienākusi caur balkonu. No rīta tincinājuši kaimiņus, kuram mince pazudusi. Izrādījās, ka līdzās esošais īres dzīvoklis atbrīvojies un vienlaikus uz ielas uzradusies arī rocīgā mince. Diemžēl pašiem atradējiem īrētajā dzīvoklī īpašnieks neatļāva kaķi turēt, tāpēc Pūcīte nonāca patversmē. Pie sava vārdiņa kaķenīte tika tikai izteiksmīgās sejiņas dēļ – raksturā viņai nav ne grama pūcīguma. Viņa ir mīļa, rotaļīga un maiga. Tiesa, līdzko notiek kas straujš vai viņai neizprotams, mince var samulst un censties paslēpties (visticamāk, mājās viņai patiks rušināties zem segas, guļot līdzās saimniekiem). Tāpēc adopcijai iesakām klusinātā dzīvesvidē bez mazu bērnu klātbūtnes.

About Pūcīte

What life with Pūcīte looks like

Pūcīte is a young adult 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 Pūcīte, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pūcīte?
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 Pūcīte on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pūcīte 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 Pūcīte 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 Pūcīte 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 Pūcīte 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.
