Gloria

Mixed Breed · Female

June 2023: Gloria has found her true forever home! Where is the real one, who will take her home? News from the shelter on 11.12.22: Gloria is a true social cat. Before taking her in, I couldn't have imagined that a cat who doesn't let herself be touched could be so social. She is extremely curious, she likes to be near us, whether it's watching a movie, playing music or doing crafts - Gloria comes over and watches what's happening. She likes to play - balls are her favorite - both with people and alone. She has a very balanced personality and gets along very well with other cats. Although human touch is still an intimidating thing, sometimes curiosity wins and she climbs onto my laptop screen to watch. She also takes treats from my finger. Sometimes during mealtime, she even lets me stroke her tail. I would recommend Gloria as a companion for any existing cat, but also for a non-spayed cat who is still social and fun. *** When walking around the cat room, it feels like no matter where the volunteer goes, Gloria is immediately there, either under some scratching post or peeking out from a nest. The kitten is so curious that she has to check immediately if a crumb bowl has just been filled, if some toy has been added or simply if a broom has been left in the middle of the room. And if someone starts playing somewhere, you can be sure that Gloria will be there soon. The kitten doesn't see sharing a mouse toy or a closed door with another cat as a problem at all, not at all, it's much more interesting together! Having grown up on the streets and only recently feeling human care, Gloria is sometimes still a bit shy - when volunteers move quickly, Gloria prefers to back away, but approaching her calmly makes it clear that a person offers her just as much curiosity as crumbs or new toys. Who is this big two-legged cat (??), who brings a can every day like clockwork and then always waves the tuna in front of her? Her eyes show that she really wants to become friends with a person - come visit her and show how great a pet cat life can be!

Juuni 2023: Gloriast on saanud tõeline paikass! Kus nüüd on see päris oma paikäsi, kes ta koju viiks? Uudised hoiukodust 11.12.22: Gloria on tõeline seltskonnakass. Enne tema võtmist ei osanud ma arvata, et kass, kes ei lase end puudutada, võib olla nii seltskondlik. Ta on ääretult uudishimulik, talle meeldib meie läheduses olla, olgu selleks siis filmi vaatamine, muusika mängimine või käsitöö – Gloria tuleb kohale ja vaatab, mis toimub. Talle meeldib mängida – pulgad on tema lemmikud – nii inimestega kui ka üksi. Tal on väga tasakaalukas iseloom ja ta saab teiste kassidega väga hästi läbi. Kuigi inimese puudutus on endiselt hirmutav asi, võidab mõnigi kord uudishimu ja nii ronib ta mu peale sülearvuti ekraani vaatama. Ta võtab ka minu näpuotsast maiustusi vastu. Söömise ajal saab mõnikord juba ka ta kasukat silitada. Soovitaksin Gloriat kaaslaseks igale olemasolevale kassile, aga ka mittetüütavaks kassiks, kes on endiselt sotsiaalne ja lõbus. *** Kassitoas ringi käies on tunne, et ükskõik kuhu vabatahtlik ka ei astuks, on Gloria kohe seal samas mõne kraapimispuu alt või pesa seest piilumas. Kassitüdruk on nii uudishimulik, et peab kohe üle vaatama, kui mõni krõbinakauss on värskelt täidetud, mõni mänguasi juurde toodud või lihtsalt kühvel keset tuba vedelema unustatud. Ja kui keegi kuskil millegagi mängima hakkab, siis võib kindel olla, et peagi on ka Gloria kohal. Kassike ei pea mingiks probleemiks hiirekest või suletutti mõne teise kassiga jagada, sugugi mitte, koos on ju hoopis huvitavam! Olles kasvanud üles tänavatel ja saades alles hiljuti inimese hoolitsust tunda, on Gloria vahel veel pisut pelglik – vabatahtlike kiiremate liigutuste peale eelistab Gloria pigem taganeda, kuid rahulikult talle lähenedes on selge, et inimene pakub talle sama palju uudishimu kui krõbinad või uued mänguasjad. Kes ometi on see suur kahejalgne kass (??), kes iga päev nagu kellavärk konservi toob ja pärast seda alati sulepulka tema ees lehvitab? Kiisu silmist on näha, et ta väga tahaks juba inimesega sõbraks saada – tule talle külla ja näita, kui vahva võib kodukassi elu olla!

About Gloria

What life with Gloria looks like

Gloria is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at MTÜ Tartu Kassikaitse in Tartu.

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 Gloria, answered.

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