Kirju

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

On July 21, 2020, a beautiful long-haired mother cat arrived at the shelter from Vanakubjal with two boys. The boys found new homes quickly, and she did not end up in a cage and was sterilized and returned to the temporary caretaker. In the fall of 2023, it was discovered that the caretakers were moving, and for Kirju's sake, it would be more suitable to live in a barn, not between the four sides of the city center. And with Kirju came… There were interested parties, but the families we considered suitable for Kirju ended up leaving for various reasons (expecting that a cat that has been in the woods cannot be placed in foster care conditions and that the owner of the woods might get sick)… The story of Kirju and the search for a couple's home is written here: Kirju's last call for a home was not successful. A letter arrived for her, and a interested family, with the help of a friend named Sally, offered a home to a friendly kitten. Also in the letter, there are three kittens named Bobik and two adult boys. Kirju will be adopted with a foster home, and interested parties must first complete a questionnaire, which you can find here: If interested, write a letter, send a message on FB messenger, or call 58370708. Arrange a meeting time and come to Kirjul! We cannot change the whole world, but we can for one cat that was born into a home or for some reason ended up without one.

21.07.2020 jõudis Vanakubjalt turvakodusse kaunis pikakarvaline emane kass koos kahe pojaga. Pojad leidsid kiiresti kodud, emme läks kiibituna ja steriliseerituna tagasi tolleaegse toitja juurde. 2023 sügisel selgus, et toitjad kolivad ja kolima peab ka Kirju tema jaoks oleks sobivaim elukoht maal talukassina, mitte linnakorteri nelja seina vahel. Ja Kirju saaga algas… Huvilisi leidus, aga need pered, keda pidasime Kirju jaoks sobivateks, loobusid erinevatel põhjustel (eelarvamus, et õueeluga harjunud kass ei saa tubastes tingimustes hakkama ja õue pääsedes võib kaduda)… Kirju lugu ja päriskodu-otsimise saaga on kirjas siin: Ka Kirju viimane koduotsimise postitus ei toonud tulemust Kirjule tekkis huviline ja ta broneeriti, kuid kaks päeva enne kuupäeva, mil Kirju pidi eelmisest hoiukodust lahkuma, broneering tühistati. Appi tuli üks tore pere, läbini loomainimesed. Kirjul on uues hoiukodus seltsiks nii sõbralik kassilemb kutsa Sally kui ka kolm kassi Kirjuga umbes üheealine Bobik ning tolle kaks täiskasvanud poega. Koju läheb Kirju lepingu ja loovutustasuga, huvilistel tuleb eelnevalt täita ankeet, mille leiab siit: Huvi korral kirjuta , saada sõnum FB messengeri või hoopis helista 58370708. Lepi kokku aeg ja tule Kirjule külla! Me ei suuda muuta kogu maailma, ühe kodutuna sündinud või mingil põhjusel kodutuks jäänud kassi oma aga küll.

About Kirju

What life with Kirju looks like

Kirju is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at MTÜ Saaremaa Lemmikloomade Turvakodu in Kuressaare.

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 Estonia

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kirju, answered.

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