Isla

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Approximately six months old girl. Isla is still shy, but very interested in following people's activities. Sometimes she even gets into playing with Alvar's company. Isla lives here with her siblings Eemil and Alvar, so she is looking for a home with one of her siblings or a home where a playful cat friend is waiting.

FI·Show original

Arviolta noin puolen vuoden ikäinen tyttö. Isla on vielä arka, mutta kovin kiinnostunut seuraamaan ihmisten touhuja. Joskus jopa intoutuu leikkimään Alvarin seurassa. Isla asuu täällä sisarustensa Eemilin ja Alvarin kanssa, siksi hän etsiikin kotia yhdessä jommankumman sisaruksen kanssa tai kotia, jossa odottelee valmiina leikkisä kissakaveri.

About Isla

What life with Isla looks like

Isla is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Turun Eläinsuojeluyhdistys (TESY) in Finland.

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 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 Isla, answered.

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