Berta

Mixed Breed · Unknown

RETURNING BERTA IS FINALLY BRAVER - SHE HAS A HURT IN HER HOME! Born sometime in 2018-2019, a shy but calm cat named Berta has been more of an observer for a long time, always keeping an eye on what's happening at home, preferring to watch safely from the side. She never misses the housekeeper's actions in the kitchen or living room, especially when the crumpled bag comes into play, which Berta always arrives at. Although there is still some shyness in her, Berta hides a big curiosity and an increasing desire to get closer to people. In recent months, she has made great progress - she comes closer to people more bravely, spends time happily in the same room, and has even walked around the sofa and bed a few times to explore. This is a big step for her and shows how much she really desires contact. She is not really a cuddler yet, but trust is growing gradually. She likes to eat treats from the hand and lick paste - these are moments where a connection can be calmly created. Also, Berta likes to play, especially with wild balls, which she rolls around the room like a small football. It is clear that Berta wants to interact with people. She just needs a patient and understanding person who gives her time to open up at her own pace. Her past has not been easy, which is why trusting takes time, but with love and consistency, she can become a truly affectionate companion. Berta uses the litter box well, is spayed, microchipped, and has undergone the necessary medical procedures. Her health requires a bit of attention: Berta has asthma, so she needs a small medication tablet with food once a day. Also, due to the closure of her tear ducts, her eyes tend to get moist and occasionally need rinsing at the vet's. Despite everything, Berta is diligent and adapted, and makes small steps towards trust every day. Berta is waiting for her real home in Tallinn at the foster home, where you can come meet her if you wish, for this you need to fill out our pet adoption questionnaire. Maybe you are the one who will finally allow her to feel safe and relaxed.

TAGASIHOIDLIK BERTA ON LÕPUKS JULGEM - TAL ON PUUDU VAID OMA KODU! Millalgi 2018-2019. aastal sündinud tagasihoidlik, kuid rahulik aknalauakass Berta on olnud pikka aega pigem vaatleja rollis, ta hoiab alati silma peal, mis kodus toimub, ja eelistab turvaliselt kõrvalt jälgida. Hoiuperenaise tegemised köögis või elutoas ei jää tal kunagi märkamata, eriti kui mängu tuleb krõbinakott, mille krabina peale ilmub Berta alati kohale. Kuigi temas on veel veidi pelglikkust, peidab Berta endas suurt uudishimu ja järjest kasvavat soovi inimesega lähedasemaks saada. Viimaste kuude jooksul on ta teinud väga suuri edusamme - ta tuleb aina julgemalt inimese lähedusse, viibib hea meelega samas toas ning on isegi paaril korral diivanile ja voodi jalutsisse uudistama tulnud. See on tema jaoks suur samm ja näitab, kui väga ta tegelikult kontakti igatseb. Paisõber ta veel päris ei ole, kuid usaldus kasvab tasapisi. Talle meeldib käe pealt maiustusi süüa ja pasteeti limpsida – need on hetked, mil temaga saab rahulikult sidet luua. Samuti meeldib Bertale mängida, eriti vildist pallidega, mida ta mööda tuba veeretab nagu väikest jalgpalli. On selge, et Berta tahab inimesega suhelda. Ta vajab lihtsalt kannatlikku ja mõistvat inimest, kes annab talle aega omas tempos avaneda. Tema minevik ei ole olnud kerge, mistõttu usaldamine võtab aega, kuid armastuse ja järjepidevusega võib temast saada tõeliselt südamlik kaaslane. Berta kasutab ilusti liivakasti, on steriliseeritud, kiibistatud ning läbinud vajalikud meditsiiniprotseduurid. Tema tervis vajab veidi tähelepanu: Bertal on astma, mille tõttu tuleb talle üle päeva anda koos toiduga väikene ravimikilluke. Samuti kipuvad tema silmad pisarakanalite sulguse tõttu märjaks minema ning aeg-ajalt vajavad veterinaari juures loputamist. Kõigest hoolimata on Berta tubli ja kohanenud ning teeb iga päev väikeseid samme usalduse suunas. Berta ootab oma päris kodu Tallinnas hoiukodus, kus temaga saab soovi korral ka tutvuma tulla, selleks tuleb täita meie loomasoovija küsimustik. Võib-olla just sina oled see, kelle kõrval ta lõpuks julgeb päriselt õide puhkeda.

About Berta

What life with Berta looks like

Berta is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Pesaleidja MTÜ in Pesaleidja.

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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Berta, answered.

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