How do I contact the shelter about Alissa?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Gabrieli Loomade Elu MTÜ handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alissa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Alissa if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Gabrieli Loomade Elu MTÜ 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 Alissa 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 Alissa 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 Gabrieli Loomade Elu MTÜ early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alissa 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 (ET). 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.

Alissa

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Do you remember me? I am Alissa, a white kitten from the Paldiski colony. If you now carefully look at my ears, you will surely remember me! My ear tips are so beautifully curled that many have asked if I am some kind of tabby cat. Actually, nothing could be further from the truth – I am a completely normal, domestic, short-haired cat, although naturally very beautiful, which I can't deny! My ears are curled because they got cold, and actually, it was very painful and uncomfortable for me. The veterinarians even feared that my ear tips would fall off, but they didn't, and they stayed like that. And with these ears, I'm looking for a home. I want to decorate your living space, be the talk of your guests, so they can ask what breed I am, and you can explain to them what actually happened to me and how I still really like you, even though I've been through so much and therefore people still don't really trust me. At first, I used to swipe with my paws and hiss, but now I don't do that anymore. Now I am playful and like to play and interact and tolerate the collar very nicely. By the way, soon I plan to start meowing! A little bit of statistical information about me: I was born in spring 2015, I am spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, I have had parasites prevented, I have my own passport. I need a patient home that understands that it will take me time to adjust and that won't give up on me completely. Motivation letters for adoption can be sent to the email address ! I'm waiting!

Kas mind mäletate? Olen hilissügisel Paldiski kolooniast päästetud Alissa, lumivalge nooruke kassineiu. Kui nüüd tähelepanelikult mu kõrvu vaatate, jään teile kindlasti meelde! Nimelt on ju mu kõrvaotsad nii kaunilt rullis, et paljud on küsinud, kas ma olen äkki mingi tõukass. Tegelikult on asi sellest kaugel – olen täiesti tavaline, maavillane, tõutu kassipreili, kuigi loomulikult väga ilus, seda ei saa isegi mina eitada! Mu kõrvad on rullis sellepärast, et nad said külma ja tegelikult oli mul väga valus ja paha. Arstid kartsid isegi, et mu kõrvaotsad kukuvad küljest ära, aga ei kukkunud, jäidki selliseks. Ja just koos selliste kõrvadega ma kodu otsingi. Tahan kaunistada sinu elamist, jääda su külalistele silma, et ka nemad saaksid küsida, mis tõugu ma olen, ja sina saaksid neile seletada, mis minuga tegelikult juhtus ja kuidas ma meeldisin sulle ikkagi nii väga, kuigi olen nii palju üle elanud ja sellepärast inimest ikka veel päriselt ei usalda. Alguses vehkisin ma käpaga ja susisesin ka, aga nüüd ma seda enam ammu ei tee. Nüüd hoopis hullan ja mängin ja tahan suhelda ja kannatan paid ilusti ära. Varsti, muide, plaanin ka nurruma hakata! Natuke statistilist infot siis ka minu kohta: olen sündinud kevadel 2015, olen steriliseeritud, vaktsineeritud, kiibitud, mul on parasiidid tõrjutud, mul on olemas oma pass. Vajan kannatlikku kodu, kes mõistab, et mul läheb kohanemiseks aega ja kes ei anna alla, et mind lõplikult taltsutada. Motivatsioonikirjad kodupakkumiseks võib saata meiliaadressile ! Jään ootama! Tekkis huvi? Täida ankeet ja paku kodu!

About Alissa

What life with Alissa looks like

Alissa is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Gabrieli Loomade Elu MTÜ in Estonia.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇪🇪Adopting from Estonia

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.
