How do I contact the shelter about Lissu, Jämsä?

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 Lissu, Jämsä on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lissu, Jämsä 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 Lissu, Jämsä 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 Lissu, Jämsä 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 Lissu, Jämsä 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.

Adopt Lissu, Jämsä

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Lissu is about 3 years old. Lissu loves to be petted and really enjoys it. While being petted, she purrs loudly and trembles vigorously. Affection can be given if petting is too long. She needs to be supervised around other cats, but knows how to set boundaries when playing. She gets along with dogs, but doesn't allow the dog to come close. She is curious towards children and also towards strangers. She will soon get used to her own pace. Lissu has had health challenges due to broken teeth. The teeth have been treated, but the real nasal septum has been destroyed due to an infection, which increases mucus and sneezing especially during eating. Otherwise, Lissu is lively and cheerful. On the first day in the new home, she cautiously allowed petting. Lissu can associate the clicker with a treat and can be trained with the clicker. Lissu is spayed, vaccinated and FIV/FeLV neg./neg. Lissu is only surrendered as a companion for another cat. You read Kisu ry's instructions for the cat owner before contacting and answer the interview questions asked to the cat owner in the first message. Kisu ry is registered in the animal keeper and cattery registry with customer number:

Read original (fi)

Lissu on noin 3-vuotias kissaneiti. Lissu haluaa rapsutuksia ja pitää niistä kovasti. Rapsuttelun aikana kehrää isolla äänellä ja kuolaa voimakkaasti. Rakkausnäykkäisyjä voi antaa jos rapsutellaan liian kauan. Pitää toisten kissojen seurasta, mutta osaa pitää rajat leikittäessä. Koiran kanssa tulee toimeen, mutta ei anna koiran tulla lähelle. Lapsiin suhtautuu uteliaasti, samoin vieraisiin aikuisiin. Tulee pian tutustumaan omaan tahtiinsa. Lissulla on ollut terveydellisiä haasteita katkenneiden hampaiden vuoksi. Hampaat on hoidettu, mutta oikea nenäkuorikko on tuhoutunut tulehduksen vuoksi, mikä lisää limaisuutta ja rohinaa etenkin ruokailun yhteydessä. Lissu on muuten reipas ja iloinen luonne. Ensikodissa jo ensimmäisenä päivänä antoi rapsutella varovasti. Lissu osaa yhdistää naksuttimen palkkaan ja on opetettavissa naksuttimen avulla. Lissu on steriloitu, rokotettu ja FIV /FeLV neg./neg. Lissu luovutetaan vain toisen kissan kaveriksi. Luethan Kisu ry:n ohjeet kissanottajalle ennen yhteydenottoa ja vastaat jo ensimmäisessä viestissä kissanottajille tehtyihin haastattelukysymyksiin. Kisu ry on rekisteröitynyt eläintenpitäjä- ja pitopaikkarekisteriin asiakastunnuksella: 24225667
