Šimon

Mixed Breed · Male

Our handsome, sturdy 5-kilo tomcat came to the shelter at the end of October 2024 from Slovakia. Local rescuers were looking for homes for 8 flat cats after their owner had to move into a hospice. Šimon recently found a new home, but he clearly didn't like it there, didn't get along with his new human, and returned to the shelter. Šimon never misses a chance to climb onto my shoulders or come over for a cuddle. I think he takes his recent departure to a new home as a betrayal and shows it through his behavior.

Krásného statného 5kilového kocoura jsme do útulku přijali na konci října 2024 ze Slovenska. Místní záchranáři hledali domov pro 8 bytových koček poté, co jejich majitel skončil v hospicu. Šimon nedávno nový domov našel, evidentně se mu tam nelíbilo a s novým páníčkem si nesedli a tak se vrátil zpět do útulku. Šimon nevynechá jedinou příležitost, kdy mi může vlézt za krk nebo se přijít pomazlit. Myslím, že nedávný odchod do nového domova bere jako zradu a dává to najevo svým chováním.

About Šimon

What life with Šimon looks like

Šimon is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Zatoulané štěstí 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 Šimon, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Šimon?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Zatoulané štěstí handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Šimon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Šimon if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Zatoulané štěstí 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Šimon 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 Šimon 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 Zatoulané štěstí early rather than rehoming privately; they know Šimon 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.
