Adopt Kida, Jämsänkoski

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Hi, I'm a black female cat named Kida. Since my real age is unknown, it's estimated to be at most 5 years. My eye color is green and my fur color is indeed black, so we won't let that bother us. It takes me some time to gain confidence before I dare to explore my new environment. I have been in a foster home in the dark and I still easily run away from people. I am brave enough to approach people when they are right there. I have even come out in the presence of a child. Too many people scare me and I stay hidden then. I am really playful, like treats and enjoy puzzle toys. I am very good at them. I also eat a lot. A person waved a toy in front of me and I watched it curiously from a safe distance. By January I have already learned to come close enough to people that I sleep next to the bed and also get treats in the same place. I have now dared to take a treat from a person's hand but I still don't allow touching. I am vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and FIV/FELV negative. Please understand that I am still in the learning phase of this indoor cat life and my friend Mona gives me a lot of security. I hope to be able to go to the same home with her.

Hei, olen musta tyttö kissa nimellä Kida. Koska oikeaa ikääni ei tiedetä, arvioidaan sen olevan korkeintaan 5 vuotta. Silmieni väri on vihreä ja turkkini väri tosiaan on musta, emmehän anna tämän haitata. Miulla kestää hetken aikaa rohkaistua kunnes uskallan lähteä tutkimaan uutta ympäristöäni. Sijaiskodissa olen tehnyt näin pimeän turvin ja juoksen vielä herkästi ihmistä karkuun. Olen kyllä uskaltanut lähestyä ihmistä, kun tämä on aivan paikoillaan. Olen uskaltautunut myös esille lapsen läsnäollessa. Liika ihmismäärä pelottaa ja pysyn silloin piilossa. Olen todella leikkisä, perso herkuille ja tykkään älypeleistä. Olen niissä tosi hyvä. Olen myös aika kaikki ruokainen. Ihminen on heiluttanut miulle lelua ja olen sitä uteliaasti katsellut turvallisen välimatkan päästä. Nyt tammikuuhun mennessä olen oppinut jo tulemaan sen verran ihmistä lähelle, että nukun sängyn vieressä ja samassa paikassa kerjään myös herkkuja. Olen nyt uskaltautunut ottamaan namin kädestä mutta koskea en vielä anna. Olen rokotettu, sirutettu, leikattu ja FIV/FELV-negatiinen Ymmärräthän että olen vasta oppimisvaiheessa tässä sisäkissan elämässä ja paljon turvaa miulle tuo kaverini Mona, jonka kanssa toivon pääseväni samaan kotiin.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kida, Jämsänkoski, answered.

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