Lemps

Mixed Breed · Male

Male cat Lemps, also known as Kessu, found a home in early 2020, but unfortunately Lemps is again looking for a home due to changes in the owner's living conditions. The home writes: Kessu is a 4-year-old tomcat with a rather unique personality. He enjoys active games with mice, but mainly he really enjoys being outdoors and chasing insects. Unfortunately, we can't offer him much of that if he lives in an apartment. Kessu is not a typical indoor cat who would be fine on his own or sleep most of the day. He likes company, but he is not particularly enthusiastic about being held. He enjoys it the most when he thinks it's a suitable time. If he gets too much petting and cuddling, he will let you know through purring or light biting. This is a sign that no more cuddling is needed. In terms of eating, Kessu is not picky. He loves cat food, treats, and even raw food (pieces of chicken hearts or liver). During the time spent outside, the tomcat has proven himself to be a focused hunter, as he notices all the flying insects in the room. He also likes to catch mice. The best companion for Kessu would be to live outside, where he can constantly be outside, spend his energy hunting and exploring, and in the evening it's always nice to rest and sleep in a warm and soft nest. Kessu prefers to socialize mainly with adults, small children are too intense for him and he may let you know about his discomfort by swatting.

ET·Show original

Kassipoiss Lemps, omadele ka Kessu, leidis küll aasta 2020 alguses kodu, kuid kahjuks on omaniku elutingimuste muutuste tõttu Lemps uuesti koduotsingul. Kodu kirjutab: Kessu on 4 aastane kiisu, kellel on pigem omapärane iseloom. Talle meeldivad aktiivsed mängud kassi-leludega, aga peamiselt naudib ta väga õues olemise aega ja putukate tagaajamist. Seda ei saa me kahjuks talle korteris elades väga palju pakkuda. Kessu ei ole päris tavaline toakass, kes toimetaks omaette või magaks enamuse päevast maha. Talle meeldib seltskond, kuid ta ei ole eriti vaimustuses süles olemisest. Ta naudib seda kõige enam, kui arvab ise, et selleks on sobilik aeg. Juhul, kui talle saab liiga palju silitamist ja pai tegemist, siis ta annab sellest teada limpsimise või kerge näksimise teel. See on märk, et edasi ei ole vaja pai teha. Söögi osas ei ole Kessu pirts. Armastab süüa kasside konservi, krõbuskeid, kui ka toorest toitu (tükkideks lõigatud kana südamed või maksa tükid). Maal viibitud aja jooksul on kiisu tõestanud end sihikindla jahimehena, kui kõik toas lendavad putukad saavd ta tähelepanu. Samuti meedlib talle ka hiiri püüda. Kessule parim kooslus oleks elada maal, kus ta saab pidevalt olla väljas, kulutada oma energiat jahtimisele ja uudistamisele ning õhtusemal ajal on alati tore puhata ja magada soojas ja pehmes pesas. Kessule meeldib suhelda peamiselt täiskasvanutega, väikesed lapsed on tema jaoks intensiivsed ja oma rahulolematusest võib Kessu teada anda käpaga.

About Lemps

What life with Lemps looks like

Lemps is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at MTÜ Tartu Kassikaitse in Tartu.

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 Lemps, answered.

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