How do I contact the shelter about Ats?

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 Ats on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ats 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 Ats 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 Ats 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 Ats 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.

Ats

Mixed Breed · Male

Ats is a timid, increasingly bold cat who enjoys the company of other cats. Right now, it's best to approach her when she is in the nest and slightly curled up. Sometimes she may pull her ears back in fear when people approach, but after 2 seconds she quickly relaxes and enjoys the scratch. Clearly, she is new to the experience. She is currently with Artur, another tabby cat from the same colony, and they get along nicely, playing, purring, and sometimes sleeping together. They look quite similar, especially in pictures, but in real life, Ats is significantly smaller, the size of a larger kitten, especially in the head. They can go home alone, as a companion for another cat, or together. Both are ready for their own home. * A male cat found and rescued from the Kanepi village colony, who is just learning to trust people. He feels most secure under the cage right now, but allows himself to be petted and plays happily. His heart is full of softness, which will surely open up with the right person.

ET·Show original

Ats on imeline, iga päevaga julgem kass, kes naudib teiste kasside lähedust. Hetkel peab temale pai tegemiseks tabama head hetke, kui ta on pesas ja veidi nö nurka surutud. Ta võib mõni kord kõrvad hirmust pea ligidale tõmmata, kui inimest lähenemas näeb, kuid juba 2 sekundi ärast viskab selili ja naudib kõva nurru saatel paisid. Ilmselgelt on kogemus talle uus. Praegu on ta koos Arturiga, samast kolooniast päästetud teise triibikuga ja saavad kenasti läbi, mängivad, miilustavad ja vahel magavad koos. Nad näevad üsna sarnased välja, eriti pildil, päris elus on aga Ats oluliselt väiksem, suurema kassipoja mõõtu, eriti pea. Võivad koju minna üksi, teisele kassile seltsiks või koos. Mõlemad on valmis päris oma koduks. * Kanepi valla kolooniast leitud ja päästetud isane kass, kes alles õpib inimest usaldama. Ta tunneb end hetkel kõige turvalisemalt kapi all, kuid lubab end juba sügada ning mängib hea meelega. Atsi südames on palju pehmust, mis õige inimese juures kindlasti avaneb.
