How do I contact the shelter about Fiby?

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 Fiby on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Fiby 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 Fiby 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 Fiby 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 Fiby 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.

Fiby

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Fiby arrived at the shelter together with other cats from Sip, and our first meeting was anything but friendly. A cat born and raised in a colony had not previously had close contact with humans and was very fearful and would hiss and swat. Because the entire colony was affected by ear mites, Fiby needed ear cleaning and treatment and it was difficult to handle her properly. I constantly had my hands injured from biting and scratching. Now the biting has calmed down and the cat is spending time again with other cats and gets along very well with them. Often I find her sleeping in someone's lap, but mostly she spends her time with Ophelia, they sleep together and groom each other. Still needs time with people, she does check things out and watches, but doesn't come close enough to be petted. Fiby is looking for a loving home where her shyness is taken into account and she is allowed to slowly get used to things, having another cat would certainly help her become braver. If you are ready to offer a cat-friendly home, please contact the shelter.

Fiby saabus turvakoju koos teiste kassidega Sipast ja meie esimene kohtumine oli kõike muud kui sõbralik. Koloonias sündinud ja kasvanud kiisu polnud varem inimesega lähemalt kokku puutunud ja susisemist ning käpaga vehkimist oli kõvasti. Et kogu kolooniat vaevas kõrvasügelislest, siis vajasid Fiby kõrvad puhastamist ja tohterdamist ning maadlemist oli temaga korralikult. Pidevalt olid mul käed katki küünistamisest ja hammustamisest. Tänaseks on kaklemised kakeldud ja kassineiu veedab aega taas teiste kasside seltsis ning saab nendega suurepäraselt läbi. Tihti leian teda kellegi kaisust magamast, aga enamasti veedab ta aega Ofeliaga, magavad koos ja pesevad ka üksteist. Inimestega vajab siiski veel aega, ta küll uudistab ja vaatab, aga veel nii lähedale ei tule, et saaks paigi teha. Fiby otsib toredat kodu, kus tema pelglikust arvestatakse ja lastakse tal rahulikult kohaneda, kindlasti aitaks ka teise kiisu toetus julgemaks muutuda. Kui sa oled valmis kassiplikale kodu pakkuma, siis võta hoiukoduga ühendust. Palun saada kiri meiliaadressile ! Tekkis huvi? Täida ankeet ja paku kodu!
