Adopt Gustav

Mixed Breed · Male

On July 17, 2022, a kind person brought an adult kitten to our shelter who was about two months old. The finder was willing to offer a foster home and brought the kitten to Tallinn together with a cat and a boy. This shelter's only long-haired male cat can cuddle with the most adorable cat, but he is also eager for the company of the cat and boy and is comfortable with human proximity, although he will still bite when he gets scared and will run to hide in a corner when he feels threatened. However, there is no doubt that Gustav needs a bit more private attention. Gustav has developed trust and courage, and before going to a permanent home, he will also receive his first combination vaccine. Gustav will be adopted with a contract and a commitment to care, and he will also receive a pass and a Royal Canini cat food starter pack.

17.juulil 2022 Välta külast meie hingekirja jõudnud isane umbes 2 kuud vana kassipoeg. Sellel pisikiisul vedas leidja oli nõus pakkuma hoiukodu ja viis ta koos õe ja vennaga Tallinna. See pesakonna ainus pikakarvaline poeg saab uhkeldada kõige ilusama kasukaga, samas on ta õest ja vennast arem ja inimese läheduses susiseb ja vehib usinalt käpaga, sülle jõudes lööb aga ennastunustava nurrujoru lahti. Miski ei ole aga lootusetu veidi rohkem privaatset lähenemist ja Gustavist saab tõeline süle-ja paikiisu. Gustav on saanud kiibi ja ussirohu, enne päriskoju minekut saab ka esmase kompleksvaktsiini. Koju läheb Gustav lepingu ja loovutustasuga, kaasavaraks saab ta passi ja Royal Canini kassipojale mõeldud stardipaki. .

About Gustav

What life with Gustav looks like

Gustav is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at MTÜ Saaremaa Lemmikloomade Turvakodu in Kuressaare.

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 Gustav, answered.

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