Rižiks

Mixed Breed · Male

Rižiks arrived at a house on Dravnieku Street in Riga about two months ago. The homeowner took the kitten in, as she felt sorry to watch the fluffy cat beg for attention and warmth. Rižiks became very attached to the lady, but since the woman already has a kitten that is old and has health problems, it was not possible for her to keep two kittens. The woman also said that Rižiks is afraid of strangers, so it should be expected that the kitten will need time to gain trust. Rižiks is neutered, has been vaccinated and treated for parasites. However, the kitten has been observed to have health issues, so a treatment course has been scheduled. Not available for adoption!

LV·Show original

Rižiks pāris mēnešus atpakaļ pieklīda pie kādas mājas Dravnieku ielā, Rīgā. Mājas iedzīvotāja paņēma runcīti pie sevis, jo kļuva žēl noskatīties, kā ūsainis prasās pēc uzmanības un siltuma. Rižiks ļoti pierada pie kundzītes, bet tā kā sievietei pašai jau ir kaķītis gados, kuram ir veselības problēmas, uzturēt divus kaķīšus kundzei nebija iespējas. Sieviete stāstīja arī, ka no svešiem cilvēkiem Rižikam esot bail, tāpēc jārēķinās, ka mincim būs vajadzīgs laiks uzticības iemantošanai. Rižiks ir kastrēts, ir veikta vakcinācija un apstrāde pret parazītiem. Bet runcim ir novērotas veselības problēmas, tādēļ ir nozīmēts ārstēšanas kurss. Adopcijai nav pieejams!

About Rižiks

What life with Rižiks looks like

Rižiks is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dzīvnieku Draugu Fonds.

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 Rižiks, answered.

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