Electra

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Electra is a young female cat from the Paldiski colony. Along with her sister Dolores, they had comfortably settled into a summer cottage and raised their kittens there. However, the situation could not continue and a quick solution had to be found. First, I brought the smaller kittens to the shelter, and shortly after, their mothers and one older male cat. When Electra arrived at the shelter, she was very nervous, her tail was twitching and the room was full of hissing. All my approaches were met with fear. I let her calm down for a while, but when the quarantine period was over, the situation hadn't changed much. This time, I decided it was better to put her in the cat room with others, sometimes this solution works better than separation. And it suited Electrale, she feels good among others - she is active, plays, and takes naps with others and slowly gets used to people. Trust will come, because she hasn't had many interactions with people, the hissing still persists and she tends to swat with her paws, but much less. An offered hand along with a treat has already created some curiosity in her and I believe that soon the first contact will happen. Unfortunately, the shelter is such that in a large cat group it is not possible to give each cat as much individual attention as she needs, and therefore winning her trust may take quite a long time. Development and changes would happen much faster in her own home.

Electra on noor emane kiisu, kes pärineb Paldiski kolooniast. Koos oma õe Doloresega olid nad ennast mõnusalt ühele suvilakrundile sisse sättinud ja kasvatasid seal ühiselt oma järglasi. On aga tõsiasi, et sedasi asjad edasi minna ei saanud ning olukorrale tuli kiiresti lahendus leida. Esmalt tõime turvakoju väiksemad kiisud ning pisut hiljem ka nende emad ning ühe vanema kassipoisi. Electra oli hoiukoju jõudes väga trotsi täis, käpp oli kärme käima ja susinat oli tuba täis. Kõik mu lähenemiskatsed tõrjuti raevukalt. Lasin tal aegamisi rahuneda, kuid kui karantiiniaeg täis sai, ei olnud olukord palju muutunud. Sel korral pidasin paremaks ta kassituppa teiste juurde lasta, vahel mõjub selline lahendus paremini kui eraldamine. Ja Electrale see sobis, teiste hulgas tunneb ta ennast hästi – ta on aktiivne, mängib ja teeb uinakuid koos teistega ning vaikselt harjub ka inimesega. Usaldus on visa tulema, sest tal pole inimesega kokkupuuteid väga palju olnud, susinat veel kostab ja käpakesega kipub vehkima, kuid tunduvalt vähem. Ette sirutatud käsi koos maiusega on tekitanud väikest uudishimu temas juba küll ja ma usun, et üsna varsti tuleb see esimene paigi ära. Paraku on turvakodus lood aga nii, et suures kassiseltskonnas ei ole võimalik igale kiisule pakkuda nii palju individuaalset tähelepanu kui ta seda vajaks ning seetõttu võib usalduse võitmine venida päris pikale. Areng ja muutused toimuksid palju kiiremini omas kodus. Kui sa oled valmis sellist elektrit täis Electrat taltsutama ja aitama tal üle saada ebakindlusest, siis palun kirjuta hoiukodu meiliaadressile ! Tekkis huvi? Täida ankeet ja paku kodu!

About Electra

What life with Electra looks like

Electra is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Gabrieli Loomade Elu MTÜ in Estonia.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Electra, answered.

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