How do I contact the shelter about Hero?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Popopet handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hero on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Hero if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Popopet 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 Hero 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 Hero 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 Popopet early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hero 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.

Hero

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 10 months

Hero is a 10-month-old handsome young male looking for his forever home in Oulu. He has plenty of energy and would thrive with at least one feline companion and perhaps even another canine friend. Hero's personality is curious and brave, he thoroughly explores every place and enjoys being involved in all human activities. As a playful youngster, Hero still occasionally plays rough with people's feet, but this behavior has been reduced and redirected to appropriate toys. It is possible that Hero was separated from his siblings too early or was improperly handled as a puppy, resulting in the observed behavior. Otherwise, he is well-behaved. Hero could easily be trained for harness walking due to his bravery and enthusiasm around humans. He greets everyone with purring and enjoys being petted until another game calls him away! Hero has not scratched furniture at his foster home. At the foster home, Hero has become accustomed to a canine companion and plays boisterously with a 1.5-year-old retriever. Hero has eaten all types of cat food with good appetite. He is also interested in human food and tries to taste it whenever possible. Potty training has been successful from the start. Would you be willing to offer beautiful Hero a responsible home for his entire life? Remember, Hero could bring joy for up to 20 years, so we encourage thoughtful inquiries. *** All our cats are adopted as indoor pets only (only safe outdoor walks with harnesses allowed).

Kotia etsii Hero / Oulu Olisiko elämässäsi tilaa yhdelle söpölle sankarille? Hero on noin 10 kuukauden ikäinen kaunis nuori kolli, ja meno on sen mukaista – eli vauhtia riittää! Herolla olisi nyt etsinnässä loppuelämän koti, jossa olisi oman ihmisen lisäksi ainakin kissakaveri ja vaikka lisäksi vielä koirakaverikin odottamassa. Luonteeltaan Hero on utelias ja rohkea, hän tutkii kaikki paikat tarkkaan ja on mielellään kaikissa ihmisten tekemisissä mukana. Hero on myös ikänsä mukaisesti hyvin leikkisä. Alussa Hero käytti paljon kynsiä ja hampaita ihmiseen leikkiessä, mutta tapa on kuitenkin jo vähentynyt ja leikkiä ollaan saatu ohjattua luvallisiin leluihin. Herolla on kuitenkin edelleen tapana välillä leikkiä ihmisten jaloilla, ja siitä häntä on alettu opettamaan pois. Hero on ehkä aikoinaan joutunut syystä tai toisesta liian aikaisin eroon sisaruksistaan, tai sitten häntä on leikitetty virheellisesti pentuna kädellä, minkä seurauksena saattaa syntyä kuvattua käytöstä. Muutoin nuori herra on oikein hyväkäytöksinen. Hero voisi olla helposti opetettavissa valjasulkoiluun, koska hän on niin rohkea ja reipas ihmisen seurassa. Hero tulee tervehtimään aina kehräten ja tykkää olla sylissä silitettävänä. Tietenkin vain siihen asti, että jokin leikki kutsuu! Hero ei ole kummikodissa raapinut huonekaluja. Hero on tottunut nyt sijaiskodissaan koirakaveriin ja leikkiikin riehakkaasti 1,5-vuotiaan noutajan kanssa. Herolle on maistunut hyvällä ruokahalulla monipuolisesti kaikki kissanruuat. Hän on myös oikein kiinnostunut ihmisten ruoista ja koettaa päästä maistamaan niitä aina tilaisuuden tullen Vessa-asiat ovat sujuneet mallikkaasti ja oikeaan paikkaan alusta asti. Olisiko sinulla tarjota kauniille Herolle koko loppuelämän vastuullinen koti? Muistutamme että Hero voi olla omistajansa ilona hyvinkin seuraavat 20 vuotta, joten toivomme harkittuja yhteydenottoja. ***** Kaikki kissamme adoptoidaan ainoastaan sisäkissoiksi (vain turvallinen ulkoilu sallittu valjaissa, ulkotarha

About Hero

What life with Hero looks like

Hero is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Popopet in Oulu.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇮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.
