Kaustinen, Helsinki

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 11 years

Kaustinen (or her current foster name, Chloe) is a sweet and calm cat. She has a beautiful black and brown speckled Turkish Angora coat with a white collar and white paws. Kaustinen adapted to her new environment quickly and soon began to show affection towards people. Now she loves to be petted, allows herself to be picked up, and enjoys being hugged. She also has a tendency to nudge people with her paw if she gets too excited about being petted! Kaustinen also enjoys pestering people with her whiskers. Who wouldn't want to own a cat's whisker? She loves to wake her owners up in the morning and might also offer a little cuddle time. When the mood strikes, Kaustinen hardly seems 11 years old. Especially when combined with a cat tunnel, it gets her excited fully, and then the speed is enough. During calmer moments, her favorite spots are different boxes with soft bedding or a mat. Kaustinen gets along with other cats when given time to get to know them. However, she is unlikely to be the best match for another dominant cat. A calm, slightly older cat companion might be the perfect match for her instead. Living alone would also suit Kaustinen well. Kaustinen previously lived in a home where she was allowed to go outside freely. Unfortunately, going outside led to several long restraints, after which she had to be found and coaxed out for months. For this reason, a caged pet or a safe outdoor enclosure would be ideal for her. She was described as a bit wary of people before her current foster home, but in her current home, she has shown herself to be warm, friendly, and well-behaved. A calm adult home would likely be the best environment for her.

Kaustinen (tai ensikodissa saamallaan kutsumanimellä Chloe) on suloinen ja rauhallinen kissarouva. Sillä on kaunis mustan ja tummanruskean sävyinen turkki sekä valkoinen kaulus ja valkoiset tassut. Kaustinen sopeutui uuteen ympäristöönsä nopeasti ja alkoi melko pian osoittaa kiintymystään ihmisiä kohtaan. Nykyään se rakastaa rapsutuksia, antaa nostaa syliin ja ottaa mielellään vastaan otsapusut. Neidillä on myös tapana hieman näykkiä kättä, jos se innostuu rapsutuksista liikaa! Kaustinen tykkää myös pestä ihmisten hiuksia. Kuka nyt ei haluaisi omaa kissasuihkua? Hän rakastaa herättää ihmisensä aamuisin kehräten ja saattaa samalla tarjota myös pienen pesuhetken. Kun lelut tulevat esiin, Kaustinen ei todellakaan vaikuta 11-vuotiaalta. Erityisesti huiskalelu yhdistettynä kissatunneliin saa sen innostumaan täysillä, ja silloin vauhtia riittää. Rauhallisempina hetkinä sen suosikkipaikkoja ovat erilaiset laatikot, joissa on pehmeä peti tai viltti. Kaustinen tulee toimeen muiden kissojen kanssa, kunhan tutustumiseen annetaan aikaa. Se ei kuitenkaan todennäköisesti olisi paras pari toiselle dominoivalle kissalle. Rauhallinen, hieman vanhempi kissakaveri voisi sen sijaan olla sille oikein mieluinen seura. Myös ainoana kissana eläminen sopisi Kaustiselle hyvin. Kaustinen on elänyt aiemmin kodissa, josta se pääsi vapaasti ulkoilemaan. Valitettavasti ulkoilu johti useita kertoja pitkiin karkureissuihin, joiden jälkeen sitä jouduttiin etsimään ja loukuttamaan kuukausien ajan. Tämän vuoksi sille etsitään kotia, jossa ei ulkoilla vapaasti. Lasitettu parveke tai turvallinen ulkoilutarha olisi kuitenkin varmasti neidin mieleen. Pitkien karkureissujen vuoksi hän kuvailtiin aiemmin hieman araksi ihmisiä kohtaan, mutta nykyisessä ensikodissa se on osoittanut olevansa lämmin, hellyydenkipeä ja seurallinen kissa. Rauhallinen aikuiskoti olisi sille todennäköisesti paras ympäristö. Kaustinen on käynyt terveystarkastuksessa, jossa veriarvot olivat hyvät eikä iän mukaisista sairauksista löyt

Frequently asked

Adopting Kaustinen, Helsinki, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kaustinen, Helsinki?
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 Kaustinen, Helsinki on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kaustinen, Helsinki 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 Kaustinen, Helsinki 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 Kaustinen, Helsinki 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 Kaustinen, Helsinki 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.
