Birx

Mixed Breed · Female

A lovely mother cat found and rescued from the Kanepi village cat colony! Black as a tropical night - it doesn't reflect any photons, and because of that, the name given to her at the foster home is Eleele: Eleele means "black" in Hawaiian. Due to hunger and becoming a mother at a young age, she has remained very small in size, significantly smaller than a typical female cat, and has lost almost all her teeth. Therefore, she can't be a mouse trap, but she is good company - playful and affectionate. She doesn't yet come to you, but she snuggles up for treats. Her youth was spent in a cat shelter, so she gets along well with other cats. A quiet family would be suitable, who have patience to gain the trust of a kitten. Birx/Eleele is ready to go to a new home, fill out the form and come and meet her.

Kanepi valla kassikolooniast leitud ja päästetud armas emane minikass! Must nagu troopikaöö – ei peegelda ühtegi footonit ning sellest ka tema hoiukodus antud hellitav nimi Eleele: Eleele tähendab Hawai keeles “must”. Nälgimise ja noorelt emaks saamise tõttu on kiisu kasvult jäänud tillukeseks, tavasuuruses emasest kassist oluliselt väiksem ning kaotanud peaaegu kõik hambad. Hiirepüüdjat temast seega ei saa aga sõbraks sobib hästi – on pai- ning mänguhimuline. Sülle ise veel ei tule aga otsib inimese tähelepanu ja lunib maiustusi. Tema noorus möödus kassikarjas, seega teiste kassidega saab hästi läbi. Koduks sobiks rahulik pere, kellel on kannatust kassikese usalduse võitmiseks. Birx/Eleele on valmis kodu minema, täida ankeed ja tule tutvuma.

About Birx

What life with Birx looks like

Birx is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at MTÜ Tartu Kassikaitse in Tartu.

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 Birx, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Birx?
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 Birx on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Birx 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 Birx 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 Birx 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 Birx 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.
