Jussi, Jyväskylä (VARATTU)

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Jussi is about 1-2 years old male cat. Jussi has become very confident in his new home. The once shy and timid cat has turned into a sweet, soft cat who enjoys the attention given by people. Jussi loves being petted and scratched, and the attentive person can hear Jussi's purr. Jussi loves food and treats, he doesn't act spoiled. When even the slightest noise is heard, this cat appears on the scene. Jussi now enjoys playing with people, and playing alone is also Jussi's favorite. At night, there may be some noise when this playful cat takes over! However, Jussi has shown symptoms of a urinary tract infection which was examined at the vet. A suspected idiopathic cystitis. Jussi no longer shows symptoms of a urinary tract infection, but sometimes shows signs of straining, and now the situation has stabilized. Most likely a consequence of stress/pain. The vet also determined that Jussi has an old fracture in the right front paw and the resulting arthritis in the shoulder. The vet assessed that the leg probably does not need to be amputated, as Jussi has learned to compensate well for the weaker paw. However, medication is needed. A forever home should take into account that there could be a risk of amputation later. Jussi was also found to have tapeworms, which will be treated before being transferred to a new home. Jussi is a gentle gentleman who longs for a loving and understanding forever home. In a forever home, it would be good to consider an environment that does not cause too much strain on the arthritic joints. Jussi also needs time and peace to get used to, as changes seem stressful for him. However, when Jussi is given time to adapt at his own pace, he has revealed himself to be a wonderful cat full of enthusiasm and curiosity. A calmer cat companion could be beneficial for Jussi. I believe Jussi could also do well as the only cat. Jussi is being released dewormed, microchipped, vaccinated, and spayed. FIV/FeLV tests are negative.

Jussi on n. 1-2 -vuotias uros kissa. Jussi on ensikodissaan rohkaistunut huimasti. Aikaisemmin pelokkaasta ja sähisevästä kissasta kuoriutui kiltti pehmo, joka nauttii ihmisen tarjoamasta huomiosta. Jussi tykkää silityksistä ja rapsutuksista ja tarkkakorvainen kuulee Jussin hellän kehräyksen. Jussi rakastaa ruokaa ja herkkuja, hän ei turhaa nirsoile. Kun pienikin rapina kuuluu, tämä kissa ilmestyy paikalle. Jussi nykyään nauttii ihmisen kanssa leikkimisestä, yksin leikkiminenkin on Jussin mieleen. Yöllä voikin käydä kolina, kun tämä leikkimielinen kissa pääsee valloilleen! Jussilla on ilmennyt hutipissailua jota on tutkittu eläinlääkärissä. Epäilyksenä oli idiopaattinen kystiitti. Nyt Jussilla ei ole ilmennyt hutipissailua, mutta pissan panttaamista on turhankin usein. Tilanne on eläinlääkärin käsittelyssä ja asia pyritään selvittämään ennen uuteen kotiin muuttoa. Eläinlääkärissä myös todettiin, että Jussilla on oikean etutassun ranteessa vanha murtuma ja sen aiheuttama nivelrikko olkapäässä. Eläinlääkärissä arvioitiin, että jalkaa ei todennäköisesti tarvitse amputoida, sillä Jussi on oppinut hyvin kompensoimaan heikompaa tassuaan. Lääkityksen kuitenkin tarvitsee. Loppuelämän kodin on hyvä huomioida, että amputaatioon voi olla riski myöhemmin. Jussilta löydettiin myös napatyrä, joka hoidetaan kuntoon ennen uuteen kotiin luovuttamista. Jussi on suloinen herrasmies, joka kaipaa rakastavaa ja ymmärtäväistä loppuelämän kotia. Loppuelämän kodissa olisi hyvä huomioida sellainen ympäristö, joka ei aiheuta liikaa rasitusta nivelrikolle. Jussi tarvitsee myös aikaa ja rauhaa tottuakseen, sillä muutokset tuntuvat jännittävän häntä. Kuitenkin kun Jussin on antanut kesyyntyä omaan tahtiin, on hänestä paljastunut aivan ihana kissa, joka on täynnä intoa ja uteliaisuutta. Kissakaverista voisi olla hyötyä Jussille, uskon Jussin kuitenkin pärjäävän myös ainoana kissana. Jussi luovutetaan madotettuna, sirutettuna, rokotettuna ja leikattuna. FIV/FeLV -testit negatiiviset.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jussi, Jyväskylä (VARATTU), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jussi, Jyväskylä (VARATTU)?
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 Jussi, Jyväskylä (VARATTU) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jussi, Jyväskylä (VARATTU) 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 Jussi, Jyväskylä (VARATTU) 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, Jyväskylä (VARATTU) 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 Jussi, Jyväskylä (VARATTU) 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.
