Aarni, Jämsänkoski (VARATTU)

Mixed Breed · Male

A four-year-old Aarni is looking for a loving home! May 7, 2026 More is more could be Aarni's motto: the more food, play and cuddles, the better. Aarni uses his voice both in good and bad times, knows how to demand with a bark, but also to purr as a thank you. The cortisone withdrawal is in the final stage and no skin symptoms have appeared. Aarni is a lovely cat for both an active second cat and a person. There is no need to worry if the food tastes good or if it hits the litter box: it does. Aarni simply gives more than he takes. April 3, 2026 Where would a hole the size of Aarni find a forever home with another young, active cat as a companion? Aarni's days in the foster home are already going smoothly, eating, sleeping and playing either with a human or a cat companion. The desire for food is so great that it doesn't matter if it's on a plate or soaked into a cloth, it can still be eaten. A piece of the cat's food went into Aarni's stomach, but it has left without causing any major problems. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful, nothing edible, human or cat food, cannot be left anywhere on the table. Aarni has also learned to tolerate a dog. Everything is fine as long as the dog doesn't get excited and chase or push its snout too close otherwise, in Aarni's future home there could also be a small, calm dog. There is no information about how Aarni reacts to children. So far, Aarni has tolerated lamb and horse meat as food and no new skin problems have appeared, even though the cortisone withdrawal is still continuing until mid-May. Aarni is ready to move into his own home anytime, as long as the adopter commits to the medication withdrawal and monitors possible skin changes caused by the diet. February 23, 2026 Aarni has made great progress in the kitten class! He has become a begging, purring steam train that lets emotions lead the way in situations.

Noin neljä vuotias Aarni-poika etsii omaa rakastavaa kotia! 7.5.26 More is more voisi olla Aarnin motto: mitä enemmän ruokaa, leikkiä ja silityksiä, sitä parempi. Aarni käyttää ääntään sekä hyvässä että pahassa, osaa vaatia naukumalla, mutta myös kehrää kiitokseksi. Kortisonin purkaminen on loppusuoralla eikä iho-oireita ole ilmennyt. Aarni on mitä ihanin kissa niin seuraksi toiselle aktiiviselle kissalle kuin ihmisellekin. Aarnin kanssa ei tarvitse olla huolissaan, että maistuuko ruoka tai osuuko pissit laatikkoon: maistuu ja osuu. Aarni yksinkertaisesti antaa enemmän kuin ottaa. 3.4.26 Missä olisi Aarnin kokoinen kolo loppuelämän kodissa toisen nuoren, aktiivisen kissan kaverina? Aarnin päivät ensikodissa sujuvat jo leppoisesti syöden, nukkuen ja leikkien joko ihmisen tai kissakavereiden kanssa. Intohimo ruokaa kohtaan on niin suurta, että ei ole väliä onko se lautasella vai imeytyneenä kankaaseen, sen voi syödä silti. Kissanpedistä lähti palanen Aarnin vatsaan, mutta se on poistunut luonnollisia teitä aiheuttamatta sen suurempia ongelmia. Eli tarkkana pitää olla, mitään syötäväksi kelpaavaa, ihmisten tai kissojen ruokaa, ei voi jättää mihinkään pöydille. Aarni on joutunut siedättymään myös koiralle. Kaikki on hyvin, kunhan koira ei innostu jahtaamaan tai työnnä kuonoaan muutenkaan liian lähelle eli Aarnin tulevassa kodissa voi olla myös pieni, rauhallinen koira. Suhtautumisesta lapsiin ei ole tietoa. Toistaiseksi Aarni on sietänyt ruokana lammasta ja hevosta eikä uusia iho-ongelmia ole ilmennyt, vaikkakin kortisonin purku jatkuu vielä toukokuun puoleenväliin saakka. Aarni olisi valmis muuttamaan omaan kotiin milloin tahansa, kunhan adoptoija sitoutuu lääkityksen purkuun ja seuraamaan ruokavalion mahdollisesti aiheuttamia ihomuutoksia. 23.2.26 Aarni on edistynyt hienosti kotikissakoulussa! Siitä on kuoriutunut silityksiä kerjäävä, huriseva höyryjuna, joka antaa mennä tunne edellä tilanteisiin. Aarni viihtyy hienosti ensikodin oman, arviolta samanikäisen uroskissan

Frequently asked

Adopting Aarni, Jämsänkoski (VARATTU), answered.

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