How do I contact the shelter about Lenkki-Veijo?

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

Can I adopt Lenkki-Veijo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rekku Rescue ry 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 Lenkki-Veijo 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 Lenkki-Veijo 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 Rekku Rescue ry early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lenkki-Veijo 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.

Lenkki-Veijo

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Friendly and gentle Lenkki-Veijo is looking for a forever home. Lenkki-Veijo arrived at a foster home in the fall of 2025 from a large cat population. Lenkki-Veijo loves being petted and gets used to new people relatively quickly. His favorite pastimes are lying on the sofa to be petted, watching birds, playing, watching mice through the tub, and eating his favorite food. Veijo especially likes frozen raw meat and fish. Lenkki-Veijo has been diagnosed with asthma, which requires treatment and training. Veijo has an asthma medication and uses a mask treatment intended for cats. Nail trimming also still needs some getting used to. In addition, Veijo has mild to moderate periodontal changes in several teeth, so in the future, his teeth will need to be checked regularly. Dental brushing can also be tried, as it slows down the progression of periodontitis. Lenkki-Veijo is a gentle observer by nature, who gets excited about new games only after longer acquaintance. Some games may initially seem a bit stressful. He is looking for an appropriate home, preferably with another calm cat or the intention of having two cats. Even though Lenkki-Veijo is sometimes shy, he longs for company. Lenkki-Veijo is a well-mannered kitten and our first foster cat, who has stopped scratching furniture and has properly used scratching posts and structures. Lenkki-Veijo would make a great cat companion for your life. Note! Veijo comes from a population where lungworm (Capillaria aerophila) has been detected. Lungworm is manifested as coughing and other respiratory symptoms. Infected cats can also be asymptomatic. The worms can cause permanent damage to the lungs, so symptoms may return or appear later, even if the cat has been treated and the lungworm has been eliminated. You can read more about this via this link. In addition, the population has also been found to have ear mites, food allergies, atopy, retinal detachment, and structural and orthopedic problems. Several cats in the population have also experienced anesthetic complications (pulmonary edema). This should always be mentioned to the veterinarian treating the cat, so that the increased risk can be taken into account. All cats from the population have been cared for properly in foster homes.

Rento ja kiltti Lenkki-Veijo etsii omaa loppuelämän kotia. Lenkki-Veijo saapui sijaiskotiin syksyllä 2025 isosta kissapopulaatiosta. Lenkki-Veijo rakastaa rapsutuksia ja tottuu uusiinkin ihmisiin suhteellisen nopeasti. Hänen lempitouhuja on sohvalla rapsuteltavana olo, lintujen tarkkailu, leikkiminen, hiirien katsominen tubesta ja lempiruuan syöminen. Veijo tykkää erityisesti pakastetusta raa’asta lihasta ja kalasta. Lenkki-Veijolla on todettu astma, joka vaatii hoitoa ja opettelua. Veijolla on astmalääkitys ja käytössä kissoille tarkoitettu maskihoito. Kynsienleikkuu myös vaatii vielä totuttelua. Lisäksi Veijolla on useammassa hampaassa lieviä-kohtalaisia parodontiittimuutoksia, joten jatkossa hampaat tulee tutkia säännöllisesti. Myös hampaiden harjausta voi kokeilla, sillä se hidastaa parodontiitin etenemistä. Lenkki-Veijo on luonteeltaan kiltti tarkkailija, joka innostuu uuden leikin pyörteisiin vasta pidemmän tutustumisen kautta. Jotkut leikit, kun aluksi vähän jännittävät. Hän etsii sopivaa kotia, jossa mielellään toinen rento kissa tai aikomus kahden kissan kodiksi. Vaikka Lenkki-Veijo on välillä ujo, kaipaa hän seuraa. Lenkki-Veijo on hyvätapainen kolli ja meidän ensimmäinen sijaiskotikissa, joka on jättänyt huonekalujen raapimisen väliin ja hyödyntänyt oikeaoppisesti raapimispuita- ja alustoja siihen. Lenkki-Veijosta saat ihanan kissakaverin elämääsi. Huom! Veijo on lähtöisin populaatiosta, jossa on todettu keuhkomatoa (Capillaria aerophila). Keuhkomato oireilee yskimisenä ja muina hengitystieoireina. Altistuneet kissat saattavat kuitenkin olla myös oireettomia. Loiset voivat jättää pysyviä vaurioita keuhkoissa, joten oireilu voi palata tai ilmetä vasta myöhemmin, vaikka kissa olisi lääkitty ja keuhkomato häädetty. Luethan lisää tämän linkin takaa. Lisäksi populaatiossa on todettu myös korvapunkkia, ruoka-aineallergiaa ja atopiaa, verkkokalvon rappeumaa sekä rakenteellisia, ortopedisiä ongelmia. Useammalla populaation kissalla on esiintynyt myös anestesiakomplikaatioita (keuhkoödeemaa). Asia tulee mainita aina kissaa hoitavalle eläinlääkärille, jotta korostunut riski pystytään huomioimaan. Kaikki populaation kissat on hoidettu sijaiskodissa asianmukaisesti.

About Lenkki-Veijo

What life with Lenkki-Veijo looks like

Lenkki-Veijo is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Rekku Rescue ry in Helsinki.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇮Adopting from Finland
