Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten

KARVAPALL IKELA WANTS TO GO BACK HOME!!! If we are to tell the whole story from the beginning, this adorable, green-eyed, then about 2-year-old kitten was found at Pesaleidja cat shelter in Jõelähtme in February 2023. The kitten found a home, but unfortunately, due to a move, after 2 years of being in a home, the kitten came back to our animal shelter...... After a couple of months in foster care, Ikela has been with the foster family since 27.01.2026. Ikela is an adorable tabby with a soft fur, whose heart slowly opens — but when it does, it really does. He purrs with all his might (even when the alarm clock rings in the morning) and his soft fur is worth earning trust. The way into his heart is through treats — especially Churu pastes. With these, he gradually allows petting. Ikela is sensitive and needs time. In a new environment, he sometimes hides, but this is not spiteful — rather a way of saying: "give me some space". He doesn't attack, but keeps distance and watches. His gentle breath needs time to start trusting people again. During the day, Ikela prefers to be safely hidden (e.g. under the bed), but at night and during the night, his curious and playful side comes out. When the family is away, he likes to sit on the windowsill and interact with the birds. Ikela fits into a home where: there is a calm pace and a patient person. It is understood that trust takes time and that small steps are appreciated, not expecting an immediately affectionate cat. A quiet other cat would suit Ikela very well, to learn from and feel safer in her company. Ikela is still very shy, but one day, he could become the cat who purrs the loudest by your side. If you would like to offer this beautiful kitten a home and open your heart to love, please fill out the adoption questionnaire completely and we will contact you! If you can't adopt this lovely cat yourself, but would like to become a sponsor and pay for her upkeep costs, read more HERE.

KARVAPALL IKELA SOOVIB VÄGA UUESTI MINNA OMA KOJU!!! Kui kõik päris algusest ära rääkida, siis see 2021. aasta juulis sündinud imearmas, rohesilmne, toona ca 2-aastane kiisupreili leidis tee Pesaleidja kassituppa Jõelähtmelt veebruaris 2023. Kiisu leidis ka kodu, kuid kahjuks tõi elumuutus peale 2 kodusoldud aastat kiisu meie varjupaika tagasi...... Pärast paari kuud puuris oldud aega on Ikela alates 27.01.2026 hoiukodus. Ikela on imeilusa kasukaga triibik, kelle süda avaneb tasapisi — aga kui avaneb, siis päriselt. Ta nurrub kogu hingest (hommikuti isegi äratuskella peale ) ja tema pehme kasukas on seda väärt, et selle usaldus välja teenida. Tema südamesse viib tee läbi maiuste — eriti Churu pulkade abil. Nendega lubab ta tasapisi ka paitamist. Ikela on tundlik ja vajab aega. Uues keskkonnas võib ta vahel sisiseda, kuid see ei ole pahatahtlikkus — pigem viis öelda: “anna mulle natuke ruumi”. Ta ei ründa, vaid hoiab distantsi ja jälgib. Tema õrn hing vajab aega, et inimest uuesti usaldama hakata. Päevasel ajal eelistab Ikela turvaliselt peidus olla (nt voodi all), kuid õhtuti ja öösiti tuleb välja tema uudishimulik ja mänguline pool. Kui pererahvas on kodust lahkunud, siis meeldib talle aknalaual istuda ja lindudega suhelda. Ikela sobib koju, kus: on rahulik tempo ja kannatlik inimene. Mõistetakse, et usaldus vajab aega ja väärtustatakse imepisikesi edusamme, mitte ei oodata kohe sülekassi. Talle sobiks väga hästi ka rahulik teine kass, kelle pealt õppida ja kelle seltsis end turvalisemalt tunda. Ikela on hetkel veel väga kartlik, aga ühel hetkel võib just temast saada see kass, kes nurrub su kõrval kõige valjemini. Kui Sa sooviksid pakkuda sellele ilusale kassikesele kodusoojust ja avada oma südame armastuses, siis täida ära loomasoovija ankeet ning me võtame sinuga ise ühendust! Kui Sa ei saa seda armsat kassi endale adopteerida, aga sooviksid hakata ta vaderiks ja tasuda ta ülalpidamiskulud, siis loe lähemalt SIIT.

About Ikela

What life with Ikela looks like

Ikela is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Pesaleidja MTÜ in Pesaleidja.

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 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 Ikela, answered.

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