Ricardo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Ricardo arrived at the shelter in early May. He was in poor condition, with a severe femur fracture that we attempted to repair. Unfortunately, the fracture proved too complicated and ultimately required amputation of his leg. The cat is adjusting well to life on three legs, which does not hinder his daily feline activities. Ricardo is a friendly and sociable adult cat who cannot tolerate the company of other cats, so he seeks a home where he will be the only kitten. Date of birth: 12 April 2021

Opis : Ricardo je prispel v zavetišče v začetku maja. Bil je v slabem stanju, imel je grd zlom stegnenice, ki smo ga skušali sanirati. Žal je bil zlom preveč kompliciran in je bilo treba na koncu tačko amputirati. Muc se privaja na življenje s tremi tačkami, kar mu ne predstavlja ovir pri vsakdanjem mačjem življenju. Je prijazen in družaben odrasel muc, ki ne prenese družbe drugih mačk, zato išče dom, kjer bo edini mucek. Datum rojstva : 12. 4. 2021

About Ricardo

What life with Ricardo looks like

Ricardo is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Zavetišče Ljubljana in Ljubljana.

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 Slovenia

Slovenian shelters follow EU pet passport requirements rigorously and coordinate with Italian, Austrian, and German rescue partners. Animals are fully vetted before leaving.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ricardo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ricardo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Zavetišče Ljubljana handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ricardo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ricardo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Zavetišče Ljubljana 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 Ricardo 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 Ricardo 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 Zavetišče Ljubljana early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ricardo 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 (SL). 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.
