How do I contact the shelter about Ilona, Helsinki?

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 Ilona, Helsinki on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ilona, Helsinki 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 Ilona, Helsinki 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 Ilona, Helsinki 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 Ilona, Helsinki 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.

Ilona, Helsinki

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

I am Ilona, a female cat estimated to be around 2 years old. I have a beautiful black and white coat and beautiful yellow-green eyes. I arrived at the shelter in late August and have lived mostly under the bed in the bedroom for safety. I have made huge strides in taming and this is my secret... drumroll... FOOD! It's also great to play with tickle toys if there is no food available. If you are looking for a cat whose heart goes directly to the stomach, congratulations, you found me. I am 100% motivated by treats! With a little treat, you can get friendship, a lot of courage, and enthusiastic glances in the hope of an additional serving. The house's own cat friends have helped me a lot at the shelter. The company of other cats makes me feel safe and awakens my inner courage. This is why I need a new home with a cat friend to learn from and to wonder about the world together (and beg for more treats together). Would there be a place in your home for a sweet tooth and a great cat friend? Please read Kisu ry's instructions for cat adopters before contacting and answer the interview questions for cat adopters in the first message.

Screenshot Moikka! Olen Ilona, arviolta noin 2-vuotias kissaneiti. Minulla on kaunis mustavalkoinen turkki ja kauniit kelta-vihreät silmät. Saavuin ensikotiin elokuun lopussa ja olen elänyt pääosin makuuhuoneen sängyn alla turvassa. Olen tehnyt jättimäisiä harppauksia kesyyntymisessä ja tähän salaisuuteni on ollut… rummunpärinää… RUOKA! Myös tikkuleluilla on ihana leikkiä, jos ruokaa ei ole tarjolla.. Jos etsit kissaa, jonka sydämeen tie käy kirjaimellisesti vatsan kautta, onneksi olkoon, löysit minut. Minut on ladattu 100 % herkkumotiivilla! Pienellä herkkupalalla saa minulta ystävyyttä, roppakaupalla rohkeutta ja innokkaita silmäyksiä lisäannoksen toivossa. Ensikodissa minua ovat auttaneet valtavasti talon omat kissa-kaverit. Muiden kissojen seura saa minut tuntemaan oloni turvalliseksi ja herättää sisäisen rohkeuteni. Tästä syystä minulla tulee olla uudessa kodissani kissakaveri, josta voin ottaa mallia ja jonka kanssa voi ihmetellä maailman menoa (ja kärttää yhdessä lisää herkkuja). Olisiko sinun kodissasi paikka yhdelle herkkusuulle ja mahtavalle kissa-ystävälle? Ilona on sirutettu, rokotettu, leikattu sekä FIV ja FeLV- testattu (negatiivinen). Luethan Kisu ry:n ohjeet kissanottajalle ennen yhteydenottoa ja vastaat jo ensimmäisessä viestissä kissanottajille tehtyihin haastattelukysymyksiin. Kisu ry on rekisteröitynyt eläintenpitäjä- ja pitopaikkarekisteriin asiakastunnuksella: 24225667 Screenshot Screenshot
