Emi

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Emi's arrival at the shelter was not easy. He was aggressive, hissed, swatted with his paws and bit my hand whenever possible. Most likely it was due to maternal instinct - he had a litter of kittens and for him the whole world was something that had to be protected from his children. A person was not a friend, but a threat. Today, Emi is a completely different cat. He lives in the cat room, where he becomes more open every day. There is also his mother, Sakura, and the two of them still stay very close. This bond gives Emile a sense of security and confidence and it was from there that his change began. Emi is already surprisingly brave towards visitors. He plays with the toy, comes to greet, watches and sniffs people, but keeps a safe distance. He doesn't like to be handled, but his interest in people is great; trust just needs more time. Emi loves play. Balls, mice and anything that moves get his attention. Emi is house trained. He is looking for a person who understands that not all cats are born friendly and that the deepest connection often happens with those who don't give themselves away immediately. A quiet home, a patient nature and willingness to let Emile be himself - it is in such an environment that he can continue to grow and open up. Some cats do not jump into your arms right away. Some cats just walk after you at first. And one day, they are there - truly present. Emi is on that path.

Emi saabumine turvakoju ei olnud lihtne. Ta oli tõre, susises, vehkis käppadega ja hammustas mu kätt igal võimalusel. Väga suure tõenäosusega oli selle taga emainstinkt – tal oli pesakond kassipoegi ning tema jaoks oli kogu maailm midagi, mille eest tuli oma lapsi kaitsta. Inimene ei olnud sõber, vaid oht. Täna on Emi hoopis teine kass. Ta elab kassitoas, kus avaneb iga päevaga aina rohkem. Seal on ka tema ema, Sakura, ning need kaks hoiavad siiani tugevalt kokku. See side annab Emile turvatunde ja kindluse ning just sealt algas ka tema muutus. Külaliste suhtes on Emi juba üllatavalt julge. Ta mängib suletutiga, tuleb uudistama, vaatab ja nuusutab inimesi, kuid hoiab veel turvalist distantsi. Pai endale ta teha ei lase, kuid tema huvi inimese vastu on suur; usaldus lihtsalt vajab veel aega. Emi armastab mängu. Pallid, hiired ja kõik, mis liigub, saavad temalt tähelepanu. Emi on koduootel. Ta otsib inimest, kes mõistab, et kõik kassid ei sünni sülekassiks ja et kõige sügavam side tekib sageli just nendega, kes ei anna end kohe kätte. Rahulik kodu, kannatlik meel ja valmisolek lasta Emil olla tema ise – just sellises keskkonnas saab ta edasi kasvada ja avaneda. Mõni kass ei hüppa kohe sülle. Mõni kass kõnnib alguses lihtsalt sinu järel. Ja ühel päeval on ta seal – päriselt kohal. Emi on sellel teel. Kui sul tekkis huvi Emi ja tema tegemiste vastu, siis palun kirjuta hoiukodu meiliaadressile . Tekkis huvi? Täida ankeet ja paku kodu!

About Emi

What life with Emi looks like

Emi is a young 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

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Emi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Emi?
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 Emi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Emi 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 Emi 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 Emi 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 Emi 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.
