Jussi ja Asterix

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Asterix and Jussi are two black kittens, about 1-2 years old, who have shared a home. Jussi, the golden-eyed one (on the left), is very food-motivated and dares to come close to people to eat and play, once he gets used to them a bit. Asterix (on the right) is green-eyed and much more cautious than his friend, but he can also be enticed to take treats from your hand. Both boys have unique white markings on their bellies, so they are not completely black. The boys get along well together, and they fight when there are no people around. The boys come from a population and are used to being with other cats, but they have spent many months together in the shelter and have become attached to each other, even though they don't seem like a typical pair of best friends. Both have had a history of stomach problems, but their stomachs have been stabilized through diet. Asterix is also more sensitive to stress, which has led to mild urinary problems. However, the boy has not needed medication, as a stress-free environment, good food and proper hydration have kept the symptoms under control. Jussi is the more affectionate and bold of the two, and is especially fond of food. Both dare to play with people once the initial tension passes. It is advisable to supervise their play with toys, or give them only durable toys, as they may tear their toys into pieces and in the worst case swallow parts of them. So, these little rascals definitely have plenty of energy! Jussi has also been easy to handle, as the kitten is submissive and allows care whenever needed without resistance. Asterix is a bit more irritable, but has been manageable when the cat's face is covered with a cloth. Despite their wild background, neither is particularly difficult, even though they don't purr either. Maybe a loving, kind home where the needs of the cats are understood could, over time, help them understand the meaning of petting? Would you be the perfect home for these two lovely kittens, with time and patience to continue raising them into house cats?

Asterix ja Jussi ovat kaksi mustaa poikakissaa, iältään n. 2 vuotiaita, jotka ehtivät yhteistä kotia. Keltasilmäinen Jussi (vasemmalla) on hyvin ruokamotivoitunut ja uskaltaa tulla ihmisen lähelle ruokailemaan ja leikkimäänkin, kun vähän ehtii tutustua. Asterix (oikealla) taas on vihreäsilmäinen ja huomattavasti kaveriaan varovaisempi, mutta yhtälailla hänetkin saa houkuteltua kädestä ottamaan herkkuja. Molemmilla pojilla on myös vatsapuolella yksilölliset, valkoiset laikut, joten ihan kokomustia kaverukset eivät ole. Pojat ovat keskenään hyvää pataa, ja touhuavat keskenään silloin, kun ihmisiä ei ole paikalla. Pojat ovat peräisin populaatiosta, ja tottuneet toisten kissojen seuraan. Asuneet ensikodissa viiden muun kissan kanssa, jokseenkin pojilla on oma huoneensa. Molemmat ovat tutustuneet asunnon muihin kissoihin rauhallisesti ja vaikuttavat kohteliailta talon vanhempien kissojen tullessa tervehtimään. Jussi on parivaljakosta uteliaampi ja rohkeampi, ja lähtee ensimmäisenä tutkimaan paikkoja. Asterix on arempi ja Jussia herkempi luonne, joka saattaa stressaantua herkemmin, ja tarvitsee omaa tilaa tai piilopaikkoja jonne vetäytyä rauhoittumaan. Asterix pakenee vielä herkästi omaan turvapaikkaan, ja tykkää makoilla korkean kaapin päällä tai kiipeilypuun kolossa. Kun olo on turvallinen, molemmat myös torkkuvat näkyvällä paikalla avoimissakin pesäpaikoissa. Pojilla ollut myös historiaa vatsavaivojen kanssa, mutta on saatu vatsat tasoitettua ruokavaliolla. Molemmat syövät Dagsmark merkin kuiva- ja märkäruokaa. Muita ruokia on toisinaan tarjoiltu pienissä määrin ilman masuoireilua. Molemmat uskaltavat leikkiä ihmisen kanssa, kun alkujännitys hälvenee. Poikien leluilla leikkimistä on myös syytä vahtia, tai antaa heille vain kestäviä leluja, sillä he saattavat repiä lelunsa palasiksi ja pahimmillaan syödä leluista paloja. Energiaa siis näillä panttereilla ainakin riittää! Jussi on rauhallinen, ja antaa hienosti käsitellä ja tutun ihmisen kanssa myös tulee siliteltäväksi. Asterix ei ole antanut kädellä koskea, mutta häntä on alettu totuttaa kosketukseen säädettävän selkärapsuttimen avulla. Asterix saattaa läpsiä käsille jos kärsivällisyys on koetuksella, mutta yleensä vain tuijottaa tuimasti ja väistää, jos ihminen on liian tuttavallinen. Ehkä rakastava, lempeä koti jossa kissojen tarpeet osataan huomioida, saisi ajan kanssa heidät ymmärtämään myös rapsuttelun merkityksen? Löytyisikö juuri teiltä sopiva koti, jolla on aikaa ja kärsivällisyyttä jatkaa kahden ihanan kollinrontin kesyttelyä kotikissoiksi? Jos sinulla olisi tarjota Jussille ja Asterixille turvallinen ja rakastava koti, täytä adoptiohakemus huolellisesti. Käsittelemme ja vastaamme vain huolellisesti täytettyihin hakemuksiin.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jussi ja Asterix, answered.

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