How do I contact the shelter about Joyce, Espoo?

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 Joyce, Espoo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Joyce, Espoo 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 Joyce, Espoo 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 Joyce, Espoo 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 Joyce, Espoo 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.

Joyce, Espoo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 2 months

Joyce is a beautiful adult cat who arrived at Kisu Ry last December with six of her kittens. She had given birth in the wild, but the whole family ended up in foster care when the kittens were about two months old. Joyce has been exemplary in her care of the kittens, and all the fostered cats have already found their forever homes in February. Now it's Joyce's turn to find her own, safe forever home. In foster care, Joyce has had the last few months of a more peaceful life and has made good progress in getting along with people. However, she is still a bit shy, but she has started to enjoy being petted and has a good appetite. Using a harness is going smoothly without any issues. Joyce still fears hands, but she has started to enjoy playing and the playtime that comes with it. One of her favorite toys is the sunbeam on a climbing tree. Joyce is basically a loving and curious cat, but when she is scared, she may freeze. Joyce is looking for a home where her cat's needs will be understood and where she will be willing to give her time to adjust to a new environment and people. In foster care, Joyce has already made significant progress, and in a patient home, her lovely and curious nature will surely come out even more. Joyce could be happy either as an only cat or with a friendly cat companion, as long as the introduction is done calmly. Joyce has likely had a long-term ear infection, which is currently being treated. She will be able to move into her own home after treatment, probably in the summer. Joyce's spaying was also done in connection with her treatment, and she has recently had dental care, where the teeth were cleaned and the poor-conditioned front teeth removed. Joyce is being released spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and FIV/FeLV-tested (negative).

Joyce on kaunis aikuinen kissa, joka saapui Kisu Ry:lle viime joulukuussa kuuden pentunsa kanssa. Hän oli synnyttänyt pentunsa navettaan, mutta koko perhe pääsi turvaan ensikotiin pentujen ollessa noin 2 kk ikäisiä. Joyce hoiti pentujaan esimerkillisesti, ja kaikki pennut ovat jo löytäneet omat kotinsa helmikuussa. Nyt on Joycen vuoro löytää oma, turvallinen loppuelämän koti. Ensikodissa Joyce on saanut viettää viime kuukaudet rauhallisempaa elämää ja on tehnyt hienoa edistystä ihmisiin tottumisessa. Hän on kuitenkin edelleen arka, mutta tulee jo rohkeasti lähelle syömään ja hänellä on hyvä ruokahalu. Hiekkalaatikon käyttö sujuu moitteettomasti. Joyce pelkää vielä käsiä, mutta on alkanut nauttia harjaamisesta ja harjan kautta tulevista rapsutuksista. Yksi hänen lempipuuhistaan on auringossa makoilu kiipeilypuussa. Joyce on pohjimmiltaan lempeä ja utelias kissa, mutta säikähtäessään hän saattaa sähistä. Joyce etsii kotia, jossa ymmärretään aran kissan tarpeet ja ollaan valmiita antamaan hänelle aikaa sopeutua uuteen ympäristöön ja ihmisiin omaan tahtiin. Ensikodissa Joyce on jo edistynyt paljon, ja kärsivällisessä kodissa hänen ihana ja utelias luonteensa pääsee varmasti esiin yhä enemmän. Joyce voisi viihtyä joko ainoana kissana tai ystävällisen kissakaverin kanssa, kunhan tutustuminen tehdään rauhallisesti. Joycella on todennäköisesti ollut korvatulehdus jo pidempään, ja sitä hoidetaan parhaillaan. Hän pääsee muuttamaan omaan kotiinsa hoidon jälkeen, todennäköisesti kesäkuussa. Joycen steriloinnin yhteydessä poistettiin myös hyvälaatuisia nisäkasvaimia. Hänelle tehtiin myös hiljattain hammashoito, jossa hampaat puhdistettiin ja huonokuntoiset etuhampaat poistettiin. Joyce luovutetaan leikattuna, rokotettuna, madotettuna, sirutettuna ja FIV/FeLV-testattuna (neg). Jos uskot voivasi tarjota Joycelle sopivan kodin,
