How do I contact the shelter about Kala?

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 Kala on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Kala 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 Kala 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 Kala 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 Kala and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Kala

Mixed Breed · Male

Kiska-Kala is now on vacation at the foster home. — foster home writes (10/03/22): "Kala is a very friendly cat. Loves human company extremely and fits well with other animals. Gradually, interest in playing is emerging. Otherwise, the kitten has a super mood and his will to live is simply admirable. The cat is not currently worrying about health, but soon there will be a dental procedure and removal of the jaw support in mid-April. After that, he can be declared a healthy kitten." * Early February, the cat Kala came under the care of the Animal Protection League, who was hit by a car according to witnesses six days earlier. The cat had been at home with injuries for five days, where the careless owner did not help him and just let him suffer in pain. Cat Kala required an MRI, which revealed that he had a very extensive head trauma. The skull bones are broken from several places and in addition, a very bad nasal fracture and a fracture of the lower jaw. Fortunately, Kala's surgery was successful and the kitten's will to live was so great that he started eating faster than expected, the tube was removed and the kitten was transferred to the shelter.

Kiska-Kala puhkab nüüd koduaias. — Hoiukodu kirjutab (10/03/22): “Kala on väga sõbralik kass. Armastab tohutult inimese lähedust ning sobib hästi ka teiste loomadega. Tasapisi tekib ka huvi mängimise vastu. Muidu on kassipoisil tuju super ja tema elutahe on lihtsalt imetlusväärne. Tervise üle ta ka hetkel ei kurda, küll aga ootab teda ees veel hambaprotseduur ja lõuast toestuse eemaldamine aprilli keskel. Peale seda saab ta kuulutada terveks poisiks.” * Veebruari alguses jõudis Loomakaitse Liidu tiiva alla kass Kala, kes 6 päeva varem pealtnägijate sõnul auto alla jäi. Kass olla 5 päeva kodus haavu lakkunud, kus hoolimatu omanik teda ei aidanud ja lasi lihtsalt valudes piinelda. Kass Kala vajas vajas kompuuteruuringut, mille tulemusel selgus, et tal on väga ulatuslik peatrauma. Koljuluud on mitmest kohast katki ning lisaks väga halb ninaluude murd ja alumiste lõualuude murd. Õnneks oli Kala operatsioon oli edukas ja kassikese elutahe nii suur, et hakkas ise oodatust kiiremini sööma, sond eemaldati ja kassike sõitis hoiukoju.
