Adopt Hilla, Sastamala (varattu)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Hilla is about 3 years old, an orange female cat. Hilla was found as a stray, was born in the wild, but was fed by people and taken in from the cold about a year ago (2023). Hilla was already pregnant when she came to foster care and gave birth to five kittens shortly after. Hilla did not start taking care of her kittens and all except one, a determined fighter, died within a few weeks despite intensive human care. Hilla is now spayed and has learned to live as a house cat in foster care. Hilla has three feline companions, with whom she gets along. Hilla has slowly become more social, but still does not really let people touch her. However, she now moves around the whole house and even eats in the presence of people. She also makes contact by talking and sometimes approaches people on her own, but petting is still not familiar to Hilla, because she is not yet brave enough to try it. Hilla is a calm little girl who might even do well as the only cat. A lively and safe cat companion would certainly not be a problem. Hilla still needs a lot of time and patience to build trust and the opportunity to proceed at her own pace. Please read the guidelines for cat adopters from Kisu ry before contacting and answer the questions asked in the first message to potential adopters. Kisu ry is registered in the animal keeper and cattery register with customer number:

Hilla on noin 3-vuotias oranssi tyttökissa. Hilla loukutettiin puolivillinä, on luontoon syntynyt, mutta ihmisten ulos ruokkima, talven pakkasilta talteen noin vuosi sitten (2023). Hilla olikin tiineenä ja synnytti pian kotihoitoon tultuaan viisi pentua. Hilla itse ei pentujaan alkanut hoitamaan ja pienet menehtyivät muutaman viikon ikäisinä tiiviistä ihmishoidosta huolimatta kaikki paitsi yksi sinnikäs taistelija. Hilla on toki nyt steriloitu ja on harjoitellut kotikissan elämää kotihoidossa. Seurana Hillalla on kolme lajitoveria, joiden kanssa tulee toimeen. Hilla on kesyyntynyt hyvin hitaasti eikä vieläkään juuri anna ihmisen koskea. Liikkuu kuitenkin jo koko talossa ja mm. syö ihmisen läsnäollessakin. Ottaa myös kontaktia juttelemalla ja omaehtoisesti ihmistä lähestyykin, mutta silittely ei vielä ole tullut Hillalle tutuksi, koska ei uskalla kokeilla sitä. Hilla on rauhaa rakastava tyttönen, joka mahdollisesti pärjäisi ainoa kissanakin. Reipas ja turvallinen kissakaveri ei varmasti silti olisi pahitteeksi. Hilla tarvitsee yhä paljon aikaa ja kärsivällisyyttä luottamuksen rakentamiseen sekä mahdollisuuden edetä omassa tahdissaan tässä.

Frequently asked

Adopting Hilla, Sastamala (varattu), answered.

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