Adopt Kepa

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Kepa is n. 1,5v small female kitten. She was found alone wandering outside - no mother or siblings were visible anywhere. The girl has remained small-sized, probably due to underfeeding and the presence of fleas during her kittenhood. Kepa is simultaneously both shy and a bit sensitive in temperament. She often tries to escape when touched, but sometimes, especially during mealtime, allows being petted and even enjoys it! Kepa loves playing! A independent cat that feels comfortable in its own space, but occasionally enjoys the company of other cats, as shown by sneezing and growling. It would be good if Kepa's new home had another adult cat as a companion! Kepa is in foster care and can be met upon arrangement.

Read original (fi)

Kepa on n. 1,5v pikkuneiti. Se löytyi pentuna yksinään ulkoa harhailemasta – emoa tai sisaruksia ei näkynyt missään. Tyttö on jäänyt pienikokoiseksi, luultavasti aliravitsemuksen ja pentuaikana olleiden loistartuntojen vuoksi. Kepa on luonteeltaan samanaikaisesti sekä kesy että hieman arka. Kipittää usein kättä karkuun, mutta joskus, etenkin ruoka-aikaan antaa silittää ja jopa nauttii siitä! Kepa rakastaa leikkimistä! Itsenäinen ja omissa oloissaan viihtyvä kissa, joka kuitenkin ajoittain nauttii toisten kissojen seurasta, jonka osoittaa puskien ja kehräten. Olisikin hyvä, kun Kepan uudessa kodissa sillä olisi toinen aikuinen kissa kaverinaan! Kepa on kotihoidossa ja häntä pääsee sovitusti tapaamaan.

About Kepa

What life with Kepa looks like

Kepa is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Vaasan Kissatalo in Finland.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇫🇮Adopting from Finland

Finnish shelters require a home visit and an adoption contract. Animals are vetted; the EU pet passport covers cross-border travel within the bloc.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kepa, answered.

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