Elsa

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

Elsa is a 9-10 year old charming large girl. Elsa came to KKY as a home changer and has always lived as an indoor cat. Elsa loves petting and rubbing and knows how to ask for them if a person doesn't figure it out themselves. Elsa is also sociable, but doesn't appreciate being lifted or picked up. With quick, confident handling, Elsa is very manageable. She has no aggressive behavior. Elsa is vaccinated, her teeth are taken care of (new treatment in a year) and her blood values have been checked. There was nothing alarming found, but as a senior cat, it's worth checking them in the future. Elsa was spayed at a young age. We are looking for a home for Elsa from an adult human or humans. She has not been around small children, so we do not recommend such a big change in life.

FI·Show original

Elsa on 9-10-vuotias hurmaava iso tyttö. Elsa on tullut KKY:lle kodinvaihtajana ja on aina elänyt ainoana sisäkissana. Elsa rakastaa silityksiä ja rapsutuksia ja osaa myös pyytää niitä, jos ihminen ei älyä itse niitä antaa. Elsa on myös seurallinen, mutta ei arvosta jos häntä yritetään nostaa tai ottaa syliin. Nopeilla varmoilla otteilla Elsa on kuitenkin hyvin käsiteltävissä. Hänellä ei ole aggressiivista käytöstä. Elsa on rokotettu, hampaat on hoidettu (uusi hoito vuoden päästä) ja veriarvotkin on katsottu. Niistä ei löytynyt mitään hälyttävää, mutta seniorikissan kysessä ollen kannattaa niitä tarkastella myös jatkossa. Elsa on leikattu jo nuorena. Etsimme Elsalle kotia aikuisen ihmisen tai ihmisten luota. Pienten lasten kanssa se ei ole ollut tekemisissä, joten emme suosittele näin suurta elämänmuutosta.

About Elsa

What life with Elsa looks like

Elsa is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Kissojen Katastrofiyhdistys KKY ry in Tampere.

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 Elsa, answered.

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