VINNIJS

Mixed Breed · Female

Once my former owner bought me as a small, unregistered kitten, "for herself," not for shows. I later proved to be good enough for breeding, at least for a while. There were several other cats in our home that were very similar to me - also brown. Some of them, who no longer suited the owner or behaved to her liking, for unknown reasons, she took away in the quiet hours of the night, never to return. It went smoothly for her, because none of us were chipped, and we, the unnecessary adult cats, could be easily gotten rid of. Then, when the owner left the house with one of the little children downstairs by the staircase or took them to the gas station, she returned in high spirits and with money in her pocket.

Reiz bijusī saimniece mani nopirka kā mazu kaķēnu bez ciltrakstiem, “priekš sevis”, nevis izstādēm. Pavairošanai gan es vēlāk izrādījos gana labs, vismaz uz kādu laiku. Mūsu mājās bija vēl vairāki citi man ļoti līdzīgi kaķi- arī brūni. Dažus, kas vairs saimniecei dēļ man nezināmiem iemesliem vairs nederēja vai neuzvedās viņai pa prātam, viņa klusās nakts stundās aizveda prom uz neatgriešanos. Viņai tas gāja no rokas, jo neviens no mums nebija čipēts, no mums- liekajiem pieaugušajiem kaķiem varēja vieglu roku atbrīvoties. Tad, kad saimniece no mājām izgāja ar kādu no mazajiem bērniņiem turpat lejā pie kāpņutelpas vai aizveda viņus līdz benzīntankam, tad gan viņa atgriezās pacilātā garastāvoklī un ar naudu ķešā.

About VINNIJS

What life with VINNIJS looks like

VINNIJS is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Minka.lv – Katram Kaķim Savas Mājas in Latvia.

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 VINNIJS, answered.

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