Adopt Gerda

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

Hello, I am Gerda. As you can see, I am a stray cat – why shouldn't I be, when all I see here in the cat room is some noise and a snake walking around! No, I don't like that – when the caretaker comes and gives us food, everyone is immediately there, then run between them and hope that something remains for you! But one day... one day I will go home, and there only good food will be prepared for ME, I will be able to walk around calmly, without being chased away from my walk, all pats and cuddles will belong to me and all the affection will be devoted to my real person! I have been waiting for a home for one and a half years. I arrived at Gabriela's in the summer of 2017 as the last kitten. My children Axel and Mia are now in a new loving home (thank God!). I have everything set up so that I can move in almost immediately – all procedures done, passport issued, health checked and confirmed. I give you my word that I would be a good cat for you – calm nature (well, sometimes a little playtime is needed!), people-oriented, purr a lot, love pats and belly rubs. My only wish is that you don't have other animals. I want to be your ONLY and most beloved one, other animals cause me so much stress! If you think that a one-minute-long stray – but very beautiful! – tabby could suit you, then I'll be waiting (still straying, but hopefully soon already smiling!)

Tere, olen Gerda. Nagu näete, olen ma mossis – miks ma siis ei peaks olema, kui siin kassitoas muudkui mingi trall ja madin käib! No ei meeldi mulle see – kui hoiuperemees tuleb ja meile süüa paneb, on kohe kõik platsis, trügi siis nende vahel ja looda, et sulle ka midagi jääb! Aga ühel päeval… ühel päeval saan ma koju, ja seal pannakse head-paremat ette ainult MULLE, ma saan rahulikult ringi jalutada, ilma et mind jalust maha joostaks, kõik paid ja hellitused kuuluvad minule ja kõik nurrumised saan pühendada päris oma inimesele! Olen kodu oodanud juba poolteist aastat. Gabrieli juurde jõudsin 2017. aasta suvel lõpptiinena. Minu lapsed Axel ja Mia elavad nüüdseks KOOS uues armastavas kodus (jumal tänatud!). Ka minul on kõik asjad sätitud nii, et saaksin praktiliselt kohe kolida – kõik protseduurid tehtud, pass väljastatud, tervis korras ja kontrollitud. Annan oma ausõna, et oleksin sulle hea kass – rahuliku iseloomuga (no olgu, vahel tuleb mõni mängutuur ikka ka!), inimlembene, nurrun palju, armastan paisid ja lõua alt sügamist. Minu ainus palve ongi vaid see, et sul ei oleks teisi loomi. Tahan olla sinu AINUS ja kõige kallim, teised loomad tekitavad minus nii suurt stressi! Kui arvad, et üks minutaoline mossis – aga väga ilus! – triibukiisu võiks sulle sobida, siis palun kirjuta minu hoiuinimesele Gabrielile meiliaadressile ! Jään ootama (veel mossitades, kuid loodetavasti õige pea juba naeratades!) Tekkis huvi? Täida ankeet ja paku kodu!

About Gerda

What life with Gerda looks like

Gerda 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

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 Gerda, answered.

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