How do I contact the shelter about Riki?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Zavod Muri handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Riki on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Riki if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Zavod Muri 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 Riki 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 Riki 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 Zavod Muri early rather than rehoming privately; they know Riki 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.

Riki

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

He had all the options to be euthanized. He was emaciated, bones and skin, severely anemic, with destroyed teeth and a smell of rot, on top of being FIV and FeLV positive. Instead of giving him an injection to end his suffering, we gave him the chance to live. After a blood transfusion and a series of medications and supplements, he recovered within a few weeks. From a wild, unsocialized cat, he became a real mouser. We showed him that humans can be different from those he had known before. SPECIAL FEATURES: friendly, calm, FIV and FeLV positive, can live with vaccinated cats. Due to the constant need for accepting new homeless cats, you can also help us very much by offering temporary housing. Temporary fostering is a form of volunteer work where you offer accommodation for any of our cats who have been waiting for a new home for a long time. A temporary caregiver ensures a safe environment, space, time and love, while we take care of all costs related to the foster cat. Including covering all veterinary costs.

Imel je vse možnosti, da bi ga lahko uspavali. Bil je podhlajen, kost in koža, hudo slabokrven, z uničenimi zobki in vonjem po gnitju, povrh vsega pa še FIV in FeLV pozitiven. Pa smo mu namesto injekcije za odrešitev vseh tegob hkrati dali možnost, da preživi. Po transfuziji krvi in vrsti zdravil ter dodatkov je po nekaj tednih okreval. Iz divjega, nesocializiranega muca se je spremenil v pravega cartljivca. Pokazali smo mu, da smo lahko ljudje drugačni od tistih, ki jih je poznal prej. POSEBNOSTI: prijazen, umirjen, FIV in FeLV pozitiven, lahko sobiva s cepljenimi mucami. Zaradi nenehnih potreb po sprejemanju novih brezdomnih muc nam lahko zelo pomagate tudi z začasno namestitvijo. Začasno skrbništvo je oblika prostovoljnega dela, kjer ponudite namestitev katerikoli izmed naših muc, ki že dlje časa čakajo na nov dom. Začasni skrbnik poskrbi za varno okolje, prostor, čas in ljubezen, mi pa poskrbimo za vse stroške v povezavi z varovanci. Vključno s kritjem vseh veterinarskih stroškov. V kolikor lahko priskočite na pomoč, smo vedno na voljo za več informacij: Pri njegovi oskrbi nam lahko pomagate z namenitvijo dela dohodnine (1%), ki pa vas ne stane popolnoma nič.

About Riki

What life with Riki looks like

Riki is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Zavod Muri in Vransko.

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.
