Adopt Epsilon, Jyväskylä

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 6 months

Epsilon came to his current foster home in early November along with his sister Delta. At first, he was very shy, but gradually, while eating, he began to allow brushing and now he even comes to ask for pets by pushing his head into your hand and purring softly. Sometimes he may even end up being petted in a person's arms. Epsilon is estimated to have been born on 1.8.2025, a small tabby cat. Epsilon is really energetic and loves especially playing with toys and wrestling with Delta. This little fur ball has endless energy and is excited to explore everything new. However, during a health check-up, a heart murmur was detected, for which an ultrasound has been scheduled. This has not slowed him down at all. In the December ultrasound, it was found that Epsilon has a rare ventricular septal defect that puts strain on the heart. Due to this, there is a mild enlargement of the left ventricle, clear enlargement of the right atrium, and a very mild enlargement of the right ventricle as well as increased pressure rise in the right ventricle. Additionally, there is a 3/4 leak through the valve. Epsilon will have a control ultrasound in 6 months to see if there is a need to start medication. Also, sterilization will be handled after this ultrasound, according to the veterinarian's recommendation. The heart defect will probably affect Epsilon's lifespan, because it is so pronounced already at such a young age. Epsilon is looking for a home that commits to monitoring and treating the disease and is ready to familiarize themselves with the symptoms of the disease. Even if the disease remains "under control," Epsilon must be checked regularly. Epsilon is looking for a home where there would be another active cat as a companion who is not startled by Epsilon's slightly clumsy approach. Epsilon will also be neutered before moving to his new home.

Epsilon on tullut nykyiseen ensikotiinsa marraskuun alkupuolella siskonsa Deltan kanssa. Alkuun hän oli tosi varuillaan, mutta pikku hiljaa ruokailuen yhteydessä hän alkoi sallia silittelyn ja nykyään tulee pyytämään rapsutuksia käteen puskemalla ja hennosti maukumalla. Välillä hän saattaa jopa jäädä rapsuteltavaksi ihmisen syliin. Epsilon on arviolta 1.8.2025 syntynyt pikkuinen rämäpää. Luonteeltaan Epsilon on todella energinen ja hän rakastaa erityisesti sulkaleluja sekä Deltan kanssa painimista. Tällä pikku karvapallolla riittää aivan loputtomasti energiaa ja hän on innoissaan tutkimassa kaikkea uutta. Epsilonilla kuitenkin todettiin terveystarkastuksessa sydämen sivuääni, jota varten on varattu ultra. Menoa tämä ei kuitenkaan ole hidastanut. Joulukuun ultrassa selvisi, että Epsilonilla on harvinainen kammioiden väliseinän reikä joka rasittaa sydäntä. Edeltävän takia vasemman kammion lievä laajentuma, oikean eteisen selkeä ja oikean kammion hyvin lievä laajentuma sekä oikean kammion kohonnut paineen nousu. Lisäksi sydämessä 3/4 läpistä vuotaa. Epsilonilla onkin 6kk päästä luvassa kontrolliultra, jossa katsotaan onko tarvetta lääkityksen aloittamiselle. Myöskin sterilisaatio tullaan hoitamaan vasta tämän ultran jälkeen eläinlääkärin suosituksesta. Sydänvika tulee todennäköisesti vaikuttamaan hänen elinikäänsä, koska se on niin huomattavan voimakas jo näin pienenä. Epsilonin etsiikin kotia, joka sitoutuu sairauden seurantaan ja hoitamiseen sekä on valmis perehtymään sairauden oirekuvaan. Vaikka sairaus pysyisikin ”kurissa”, tulee Epsilonia käyttää säännöllisesti kontrolleissa. Epsilon etsii kotia, jossa olisi toinen aktiivinen kissa kaverina joka ei säikähdä Epsilonin hieman tökeröä lähestymistä. Epsilonille tullaan myös hoitamaan sirutus ennen uuteen kotiin muuttoa.

About Epsilon, Jyväskylä

What life with Epsilon, Jyväskylä looks like

Epsilon, Jyväskylä is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Kissojensuojelu.fi in Helsinki.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇮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 Epsilon, Jyväskylä, answered.

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