Rio

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Ria they brought in rescues who found him with a femur fracture. Rio underwent surgery where fixation components were applied, but bone healing was unsuccessful and unfortunately his leg had to be amputated. Even with three legs, Rio lives happily and doesn't feel a handicap when at home. Of course, outdoors would be dangerous for him, as he is missing a hind leg and the limitation of movement is more noticeable than with a missing front limb. We are therefore looking for a new family to adopt him purely at home.

Ria nám přivezli nálezci, kteří ho nalezli se zlomeninou stehenní kosti. Rio prodělal operaci, při které mu byly aplikovány fixační komponenty, avšak srůst kostí nebyl úspěšný a bohužel mu byla nožička amputována. I se třemi nožkami Rio žije spokojeně a nepociťuje handicap, pokud je doma. Samozřejmě venku by to pro něj bylo nebezpečné, jelikož mu chybí zadní noha a omezení pohybu je citelnější, než u chybějící přední končetiny. Hledáme pro něj tedy novou rodinu, která by ho měla čistě doma.

About Rio

What life with Rio looks like

Rio is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Šance zvířatům in Czech Republic.

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 Czech Republic

Czech shelters (útulky) include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID. The adopter signs a written contract (smlouva) — the shelter may follow up to verify wellbeing.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rio, answered.

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