How do I contact the shelter about Jossu?

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

Can I adopt Jossu if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — MTÜ Tartu Kassikaitse 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 Jossu 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 Jossu 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 MTÜ Tartu Kassikaitse early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jossu 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.

Jossu

Mixed Breed · Male

Due to the owner's declining health, the cat Jossu is looking for a new home. Foster home description of Jossu: - A self-aware kitten, goes about her own business and sometimes needs to be reminded to go outside - Friendly, but not really a lap cat - She loves very long cuddles - Sometimes needs playtime ⚠️ Jossu needs a person who regularly brushes her and takes care of her eye hygiene ⚠️ 🧡 To apply for adoption, fill out the survey at the link * Sometimes it happens that the owner gets taken away and doesn't return. This also happened with Joss, and the kitten was surrendered to the Estonian Animal Protection League. Since Jossu is under a lot of stress from losing her owner and home, we urgently need a place where she can regain her joy of life again. The kitten's fur was very matted and was shaved off. It is said that she sometimes urinates in the wrong places, but it's not surprising if such a painful cat has to carry around and be uncomfortable all the time. The cat passed the health check successfully. The cat is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and has received parasite treatments.

Omaniku tervise halvenemise tõttu otsib uut kodu nöbinina Jossu. Jossu hoiukodu iseloomustus temast: ⁃ Iseteadlik kiisu, käib ajab omi asju ning vahepeal tuleb pai küsima ⁃ Sõber,kuid päris sülekiisu pole ⁃ Talle meeldivad väga pikad jutuajamised ⁃ Vahepeal tuleb peale ka mänguisu ‼️ Jossu vajab inimest, kes teda regulaarselt kammib ning hoolitseb tema silmade puhtuse eest ‼️ 🧡 Päriskodu pakkumiseks täida ankeet lingil * Vahel juhtub ka nii, et perenaine viiakse ära ja tagasi enam ei tule. Nii juhtus ka Jossuga ning kassike loovutati Eestimaa Loomakaitse Liidule. Kuna Jossu on perenaise ja kodu kaotusega väga suures stressis, siis vajame kiiresti kohta, kus ta saaks taas tagasi oma elurõõmu. Kassikese karv oli ka väga pulstunud ning sai ära pügatud. Väidetavalt tuleb ka piss vahel valedesse kohtadesse, kuid ei pane ka imeks, kui selline valus kasukas seljas ja kogu aeg ebamugav olla. Tervisekontrolli läbis kass edukalt. Kass on kastreeritud, kiibistatud ja vaktsineeritud ning saanud parasiiditõrjed. Kui Sinu perest on puudu üks rahumeelne kassihärra, siis anna meile endast lähemalt teada täites ankeet
