Buratino

Male · Kitten

29.9.2026: Buratino is a lively junior who, like a young cat, has a lot to wonder about in the world. Buratino is very interested in his surroundings and boldly explores everything new. This kind young man is sociable by nature and gladly accepts pets. Since Buratino has so far lived at HESY in his own apartment, we cannot yet say what he thinks of his fellow cats.

FI·Show original

29.9.2026: Buratino on reipas juniori, jolle nuoren kissan tapaan maailmassa riittää paljon ihmeteltävää. Buratino onkin kovin kiinnostunut ympäristöstään ja suuntaa ennakkoluulottomasti tutkimaan kaikkea uutta. Tämä kiltti nuorukainen on seurallinen luonteeltaan ja ottaa mielellään rapsutukset vastaan. Koska Buratino on toistaiseksi asunut HESYllä omassa yksiössään, emme vielä osaa sanoa mitä hän lajitovereista tuumaa.

About Buratino

What life with Buratino looks like

Buratino is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at HESY in Helsinki.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇮Adopting from Finland

Finnish shelters require a home visit and an adoption contract. Animals are vetted; the EU pet passport covers cross-border travel within the bloc.

Frequently asked

Adopting Buratino, answered.

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