How do I contact the shelter about Cooper?

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

Can I adopt Cooper 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 Cooper 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 Cooper 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 Cooper 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.

Cooper

Mixed Breed · Male

Cooper is a wonderful tabby who has clearly managed to survive and stay alive through difficult times. He is clearly curious, but very shy and mistrustful of people. Very food-oriented and comes out of hiding to eat when the person is in the same room. He clearly has been very hungry and is willing to take risks for a full stomach. If otherwise movement and activity of people makes him retreat, then there are treats that he is willing to take from between the fingers. A small distance is still necessary, but this shows that with a little effort and time it is possible to gain his trust. At 2.5 months old, he has made incredible progress at the foster home and love and care have made his fur shine. There have already been many playful moments, one of his favorites is a feather toy. Cooper definitely needs time and patience to get used to things in his own rhythm, but he is not timid, rather very careful and curious. He needs a home where his fear is taken into account and it is understood that with kindness (and food) you can win his heart.

ET·Show original

Cooper on imearmas triibik, kes on ilmselt pidanud üksi elu raskustes toime tulema ja ellu jääma. Ta on selgelt uudishimulik, aga väga kartlik ja inimese suhtes umbusklik. Toidule väga orienteeritud ja tuleb toidukausi peale peidust välja ja julgeb süüa ka kui inimene samas ruumis. Selgelt on ta palju nälga tundnud ja valmis kõhutäie nimel riskima. Kui muidu inimese liigutus ja liikumine paneb teda taganema, siis on maiuseid, mida ta on nōus näpu vahelt limpsima. Väike distants on siiski vajalik, aga see näitab, et väikese pingutuse ja ajaga on võimalik tema usaldust võita. 2,5 kuuga on ta hoiukodus teinud meeletuid arenguid ning armastus ja hool on pannud ta karva läikima. Palju on olnud juba ka mängulisi hetki, üheks lemmikuks on palderjanipall. Cooper vajab kindlasti aega ja kannatust, et omas rütmis harjuda, aga paaniliselt pelgilk pole, pigem hästi ettevaatlik ja uudishimulik. Ta vajab kodu, kus tema hirmuga arvestatakse ja usutakse, et headusega (ja toiduga) võidab tema südame.
