Inkeri, Vantaa

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 10 years

Inkeri is a 10-year-old cat who is looking for a peaceful, adult home for the rest of her life. Inku is known to bond with her humans over time, becoming a purring lap cat and being brave and confident in familiar surroundings, as long as she is given time to warm up on her own terms. The small female cat originally lived in a population, but has now been living with a human for 8 years and needs to find a new home. At night, Inkeri plays a lot by herself, but she is initially very cautious around new people in her new home, although we sometimes get some blinking back. In the mornings, the mats are rolled up and toys are torn when this powerhouse gets out of hand. Food tastes good and medications go easily with food. Inku was diagnosed with idiopathic cystitis, a stress-related urinary tract infection, which arose from a long-term stressful environment. However, in her previous home, she used a litter box, which is a good sign. Now we hope that the mood-regulating medication will help her feel better. Senior check-up showed good blood values and healthy teeth except for tartar. A dental cleaning is still planned for the near future. Inkeri is not easy to handle, even if trust is established, nail trims and, for example, tick removal have been done by wrapping the type in a towel in her previous home. Inkeri is looking for a peaceful and loving home where the needs of a stress-sensitive and shy cat are understood. Inkeri needs stimulation, socialization, and regular meal times and other routines. A calm and affectionate cat companion would be a great fit, it is known that she has gotten along well with at least a considerate boy cat. It can also be considered to give her a home alone with a home with cat-like, peace-loving humans. Please read Kisu ry's instructions for cat adopters before contacting and answer the interview questions for cat adopters in the first message. Inkeri is vaccinated.

Inkeri on 10-vuotias kodinvaihtaja, joka etsii rauhallista aikuista loppuelämän kotia. Inkun tiedetään kiintyvän ajan kanssa omiin ihmisiinsä muuttuen sitten kehräileväksi rapsupalleroksi ja olevan rohkea ja itsevarma lady tutussa ympäristössä, kun hänelle antaa aikaa rohkaistua omilla ehdoillaan. Alun perin populaatiossa elänyt pieninenpieni naaras on asunut 8 vuotta ihmisen kanssa, mutta joutuu nyt etsimään uutta kotia. Öisin Inkeri leikkii paljon yksikseen, mutta ensikodin uusiin ihmisiin suhtaudutaan sähäkän varautuneesti, vaikka kyllä silloin tällöin saamme myös silmien siristelyjä takaisin päin. Aamuisin matot ovat rullalla ja leluja on revitty kun tämä tehopakkaus pistää ranttaliksi. Ruoka maistuu hyvin ja lääkkeet menevät helposti ruoan mukana. Inkulla todettiin idiopaattinen kystiitti eli stressiperäinen virtsatietulehdus, mikä on syntynyt pitkään jatkuneesta kuormittavasta ympäristöstä. Ensikodissa tarpeet on kuitenkin tehty laatikolle, mikä on hyvä merkki. Nyt toivomme mielialalääkityksen helpottavan hänen oloaan. Senioritarkastuksessa veriarvot todettiin hyviksi ja hampaat hammaskiveä lukuun ottamatta terveiksi. Hammaskivenpoistoon mennään vielä lähiaikoina. Inkeriä ei ole helppo käsitellä vaikka luottamus syntyisikin, entisessä kodissa kynsien leikkuut ja esim. punkin poisto on tehty käärimällä typy pyyhkeeseen. Inkeri etsii siis rauhallista ja rakastavaa kotia, jossa ymmärretään stressiherkän ja aran kissan tarpeita. Inkeri tarvitsee virikkeitä, sosiaalistamista ja säännöllisiä ruoka-aikoja ja muita rutiineja. Ihmis- ja kissasosiaalinen rauhallinen kissakaveri sopisi mainiosti, tiedetään että ainakin tahdikkaan poikakissan kanssa on tullut hyvin toimeen. Voidaan harkita myös antamista ainoaksi kissaksi kotiin, jossa saisi seuraa kotikissaluonteisista, rauhaarakastavista humansseista. Luethan Kisu ry:n ohjeet kissanottajalle ennen yhteydenottoa ja vastaat jo ensimmäisessä viestissä kissanottajille tehtyihin haastattelukysymyksiin. Inkeri on rokotettu, s

Frequently asked

Adopting Inkeri, Vantaa, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Inkeri, Vantaa?
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 Inkeri, Vantaa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Inkeri, Vantaa 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 Inkeri, Vantaa 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 Inkeri, Vantaa 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 Inkeri, Vantaa 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.
