Maisa

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

I am a shy, approximately 6-year-old calico cat named Maisa. I have become bolder at the shelter and can now be seen out in the daytime. I enjoy spending time outside in the cat enclosure. I am usually alone and have not yet found a friend among the other cats at the shelter, but I get along with them. I came to the animal shelter with my kittens, but after they left for their new homes, I returned from my foster home to the shelter to look for a forever home. With time and in a home environment, I will surely become bolder. I am a white and black male kitten named Täplä. I am approximately 4-7 years old. I am a relocation cat. I was given up for reasons beyond my control. I am still shy and curious at the shelter, but I am relaxing more each day. I am nervous about new places and people at first. I am looking for a quiet home with no other animals.

Minä olen ujo, n 6-vuotias kilpparikisu Maisa. Kissalassa olen rohkaistunut kovasti ja minua näkee jo esillä päiväsaikaan, viihdyn kovasti kissatarhassa ulkoilemassa. Olen useimmiten omissa oloissani, enkä ole vielä kaveria kissalan kisuista löytänyt, tulen kuitenkin toimeen muiden kanssa. Tulin eläintalolle pentujeni kanssa, mutta pentujen lähdettyä uuteen kotiin, tulin sijaiskodista takaisin eläintalolle etsimään loppuelämän kotia. Ajan kanssa ja kotioloissa varmasti rohkaistun, olen jo rohkaistunut eläintalolla kovasti. Ole punavalkoinen poikakisu Täplä. Olen noin 4-7-vuotias. Olen kodinvaihtaja. Minusta luovuttiin itsestäni riippumattomista syistä. Ujostelen ja ihmettelen eläintalolla vielä, mutta rentoudun päivä päivältä. Jännitän uusia paikkoja ja ihmisiä aluksi. Kaipaan rauhalliseen kotiin, jossa ei ole muita eläimiä.

About Maisa

What life with Maisa looks like

Maisa is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at KSEY — Kouvolan Seudun Eläinsuojeluyhdistys in Koria.

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 Finland

Finnish shelters require a home visit and an adoption contract. Animals are vetted; the EU pet passport covers cross-border travel within the bloc.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maisa, answered.

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