How do I contact the shelter about Artur?

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

Can I adopt Artur if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — MTÜ Tartu Kassikaitse 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 Artur 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 Artur 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 MTÜ Tartu Kassikaitse early rather than rehoming privately; they know Artur 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.

Artur

Mixed Breed · Male

Artut has become a very friendly cat in just one month, he likes to be petted and be near people. However, in a large room, he can get scared at first, if he is brave enough, then he runs away for a while, there is a moment when it seems that someone has done something bad to him. Gradually, his confidence grows and he learns that no one will hurt him. He has never even tried to bite or scratch. He really likes to eat and lie on the bed. He clearly respects the boundaries with other cats, he may approach at first, but if the other does not want to, he steps back and waits. Of course, he always follows afterwards. "From a wild cat" he has become a home cat. * Artur is one of the colony cats found in Kanepi village, who were saved from the cold in January. Initially very shy, but every day he becomes braver. It is visible that he wants to be petted, but he is still afraid. A foster home suits him, so it seems that he would also fit with other cats. He likes to play with anything that comes his way. He uses the litter box nicely. Looking for a foster home or a real home.

ET·Show original

Artut on vaid kuu ajaga muutunud väga lustlikuks kassiks, talle meeldivad paid ja inimese lähedus. Samas suures paihoos võib ise ehmatada selle peale, kui julge ta on ja siis korraks jookseb eemale, on hetki, kus tundub ka, et keegi on talle käega haiget teinud. Tasapisi harjutades tema enesekindlus kasvab ja teadmine, et enam ei tee ükski käsi haiget. Pole kordagi isegi püüdnud hammustada või käpaga panna. Talle meeldib väga süüa ja vaiba peal lesida. Teiste kassidega tunnetab ilusti piire, läheb küll alguses juurde, aga kui teine ei taha, astub sammu eemale ja jääb ootele. Käib ikka järel muidugi :). “Metsikust” kassist on saanud kodukass. * Artur on üks Kanepi vallast leitud kolooniakassidest, kes jaanuaris külma käest ära päästeti. Algselt väga tagasihoidlik, kuid iga päevaga muutub julgemaks. On näha, et tahab paisid, kuid hetkel veel kardab. Hoiukodu kass talle meeldib, seega tundub, et sobiks ka teiste kassidega. Talle meeldib mängida kõigega, mis ette jääb. Käib kenasti liivakasti. Otsib hoiukodu või päris kodu.
