Sievät sisarukset etsivät yhteistä kotia. Lyyli, mustavalkea kuosiltaan, on reipas isosisko, Helka, kilpikonnakuviollinen, on hiukan ujokas pikkusisko. Molemmilla ikää noin 6-8 vuotta. Molemmat tytöt on steriloitu, rokotettu ja sirutettu. Mikäli kiinnostuit antamaan tytöille yhteisen kodin, niin laita sähköpostia, tulemaan ja kerro siinä jotain itsestäsi, kodistasi ja kissanpidostasi. Laita viestiin myös puhelinnumerosi ja paikkakunta missä asut. Emme luovuta kissoja vapaina ulkoileviksi.

About Lyyli ja Helka

What life with Lyyli ja Helka looks like

Lyyli ja Helka is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at MESY — Mikkelin Eläinsuojeluyhdistys in Mikkeli.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lyyli ja Helka, answered.

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