Kaustinen, Mäntsälä

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Kaustinen (or as I call her Chloe) is a sweet and calm lady. She has a beautiful black and dark-brown coat, with a white collar and white paws. Chloe adjusted very quickly to her surroundings and got affectionate early. She now loves being pet, can be picked up and kissed on the head. She does have a tendency to gnaw on your hand when she gets overstimulated! She also likes to wash your hair. Who doesn't want their own cat-shower? Chloe gets along fine with other cats when some time has passed, but she is likely not a good fit with a fellow dominant cat. A laid-back, older fellow cat would be a good companion for her. When the toys come out, Chloe is no longer 11 years old. She can go crazy especially over a teaser in combination with a cat tunnel! She especially loves to lay in boxes with some kind of bedding in them, and she loves to wake you up in the morning with purring and maybe a good wash. — Kaustinen is a huffy, sweet, and slightly grumpy lady who has already reached her adult age. Kaustinen has lived her entire life in the home she was born in, and has been allowed to roam freely outdoors. The cat has rarely returned to the home to stay, but has had to be coaxed back inside after being out for months at a time. This has happened many times. So now we are putting an end to the outdoor excursions, and we are looking for a home for Kaustinen, from which she will not be allowed to roam freely outdoors. In her new home, there could certainly be a catio, or a safe outdoor run where she can enjoy the sun and watch the birds. The long car rides have slightly hardened the girl towards people, but trust will surely grow over time. An adult, fairly calm home would certainly be the best environment for the future. Kaustinen is not at all keen on the idea of meeting other cats. As the sole cat in the home, she would be a good choice, or at least considering a senior and calm companion for a laid-back, older fellow cat.

Kaustinen on asunut koko elämänsä kodissa, josta se on päässyt vapaasti ulkoilemaan. Neiti vain ei ole useinkaan muistanut palata ulkoilulta takaisin kotiin, vaan sitä on jouduttu loukuttamaan kuukausia, ennen kuin palautus on ollut mahdollista. Tämä on toistunut lukuisia kertoja. Siispä nyt laitamme ulkoilulle pisteen ja Kaustiselle etsitään koti, josta ei vapaasti ulkoilla. Uudessa kodissa voisi tietysti olla lasitettu parveke, tai jopa turvallinen ulkoilutarha, jossa voi nauttia raittiin ilman tuoksusta ja katsella pörriäisiä. Pitkät karkureissut ovat taannuttaneet tytön hieman araksi ihmisiä kohtaan, mutta luottamus varmasti kasvaa ajan kanssa takaisin. Aikuinen melko rauhallinen koti olisi varmasti paras ympäristö tulevaisuudessa. Kaustinen ei ole mitenkään järin ihastunut ajatuksesta tutustua muihin kissoihin. Ainoana kodin kissana voisi olla ihan hyvä elellä, tai korkeintaan seniori-ikäisen kiltin ja rauhallisen kollin seuraa voisi harkita. Kävimme Kaustisen ka

Frequently asked

Adopting Kaustinen, Mäntsälä, answered.

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