How do I contact the shelter about Lembit?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. MTÜ Tartu Kassikaitse handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lembit on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lembit if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — MTÜ Tartu Kassikaitse 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 Lembit 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 Lembit 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 Tartu Kassikaitse early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lembit 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.

Lembit

Mixed Breed · Male

Lembit is a calm, friendly, and gentle gentleman cat who initially seemed somewhat cautious to us, but soon revealed himself as a delightful and playful kitten in his foster home. Lembit wants to take part in every single activity—playing tirelessly, eating everything that even slightly looks like food, and of course, climbing into your lap and purring away happily! Despite a challenging life and numerous health issues he’s had to battle through, he’s truly an amazingly sweet companion. And there’s hope that he’ll become completely healthy yet! Most of his concerns have already been addressed: his diseased teeth have been removed, his bloody eye has been fully healed, the ear infection is gone, and the lump on his neck has been successfully removed. Throughout it all, Lembit has been the most patient little kitty, letting himself have drops put in his eyes and medicine mixed into his food—and as a true fashion icon, he’s worn more colorful collars than any other cat at Kassikaitses. Now all that’s left is for him to find his very own forever home!

ET·Show original

Lembit on rahulik, sõbralik ja malbe kassihärra, kes tundus meile esialgu ettevaatliku iseloomuga olevat, kuid kellest koorus hoiukodus õige pea välja vahva ja paimaias kassipoiss. Lembit tahab osa võtta igast tegevusest, väsimatult mängida, ära süüa kõik, mis vähegi toidu moodi välja näeb ja loomulikult palju kaissu ronida ja paisid nuruda! Hoolimata keerulisest elust ja paljudest tervisemuredest, millega ta on pidanud võitlema, on ta tõesti imeliselt armas kaaslane. Ja tal on lootust täitsa terveks poisiks saada! Enamik ta muresid ongi juba lahendatud, haiged hambad on eemaldatud, verine silm on terveks ravitud, kõrvapõletikust lahti saadud, moodustis kaelalt eemaldatud. Lembit on selle keskel olnud kõige kannatlikum kiisu, lubanud endale panna silmadesse tilkasid ja toidu sisse rohtusid ja tõelise moeikoonina kandnud rohkem värvilisi kraesid kui ükski teine kass Kassikaitses. Nüüd polegi muud järgi kui see päris oma kodu leida!
