Manteli

Female · Kitten

Manteli is a brave and active little girl who doesn't shy away from new things or people, but instead approaches life with curiosity. To remain content, Manteli needs sufficient space and stimulation. People are, in Manteli's opinion, the right kind of people, but we still don't exactly know what she thinks about cats, and whether she would be most comfortable as the only cat or if she needs a cat companion. This young lady sometimes has slightly picky tastes when it comes to food.

FI·Show original

18.5.2026: Manteli on reipas ja aktiivinen tyttönen, joka ei uusia juttuja tai ihmisiä ujostele, vaan suhtautuu elämään uteliaasti. Pysyäkseen tyytyväisenä Manteli tarvitsee riittävästi tilaa ja virikkeitä – kovin pienessä asunnossa hän ei siis todennäköisesti viihdy. Ihmiset ovat Mantelin mielestä kivoja tyyppejä, mutta toisaalta hän on myös melko itsenäinen luonteeltaan. Muista kissoista neiti ei tykkää, ja hän etsiikin kotia hemmoteltuna ainokaisena. Mantelilla on välillä hieman valikoiva maku ruoan suhteen.

About Manteli

What life with Manteli looks like

Manteli is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at HESY 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

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 Manteli, answered.

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