Heikki

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Heikki is a gentle and large gentleman, born around 2023, who arrived at the cat shelter in 2025. Heikki is tender and cautious and still keeps a distance from people quite a lot. Gradually, Heikki has started to feel more confident moving around and being more free even in the presence of people. This gentleman gets along very well with other cats! Especially Pörje is Heikki's good friend and maybe also provides Heikki with security in stressful situations. Heikki probably needs a safe cat companion for his own home and Pörje would be a great option for this task!

FI·Show original

Heikki on vanttera ja isohko, arviolta vuonna 2023 syntynyt herra, joka saapui kissatalolle vuonna 2025. Heikki on herkkä ja ujo ja varoo ihmistä vielä aika paljon. Hiljalleen Heikki on alkanut uskaltautua liikkumaan laajemmin ja vapautuneemmin myös ihmisen läsnäollessa. Muiden kissojen kanssa tämä herra tulee oikein hyvin toimeen! Erityisesti Pörje on Heikin hyvä ystävä ja ehkä myös tuo Heikille turvaa jännittävissä tilanteissa. Heikki luultavasti tarvitsee turvallisen kissakaverin myös omaan kotiin ja Pörje olisikin mahtava vaihtoehto tähän tehtävään!

About Heikki

What life with Heikki looks like

Heikki is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Vaasan Kissatalo in Finland.

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 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 Heikki, answered.

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