Martta

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

Martta is about 8 years old, a gentle and friendly senior cat. It is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Marta has arthritis in her back and therefore visits the veterinarian once a month to get an injection from Solensia. Due to the arthritis, it was difficult for Marta to use the litter box in her previous home. However, the owner was creative and put pieces of cloth or paper in the litter box, thus avoiding damage to the furniture and the cat learned to do its business in these lined boxes. Unfortunately, Marta and the owner's contact was lost and Martta moved to Mesy. Marta still uses paper-lined litter boxes. Therefore, it is difficult for Marta to find a forever home. However, Marta is very social and longs for closeness. Inquiries by email. Please mention something about yourself, your home and your experience with cats in your message.

FI·Show original

Martta on noin 8-vuotias herttainen ja ihmisystävällinen seniori. Se on steriloitu, rokotettu ja sirutettu. Martalla on selässä nivelrikko ja sen vuoksi se käy kerran kuukaudessa hakemassa eläinlääkäristä Solensia pistoksen. Luultavasti nivelrikosta johtuen Martalla oli entisessä kodissaan haasteellista tehdä pissat hiekkalaatikkoon. Omistaja oli kuitenkin kekseliäs ja laittoi hiekkalaatikkoon kangaspaloja tai paperia ja näin säästyi sohvat ym. kun Martta oppi tekemään asiansa näin vuorattuihin laatikoihin. Valitettavasti Martan ja omistajan tiet erkanivat ja Martta muutti Mesylle. Edelleen Martalla on käytössä paperilla vuoratut hiekkalaatikot. Loppuelämän kodin löytyminen Martalle on siis vaikeaa. Rouvakissa on kuitenkin kovin seurallinen luonne ja kaipaa läheisyyttä. Tiedustelut sähköpostitse Kerrothan viestissäsi jotain itsestäsi, kodistasi ja kissanpidostasi.

About Martta

What life with Martta looks like

Martta 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.

🇫🇮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 Martta, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Martta?
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 Martta on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Martta 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 Martta 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 Martta 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 Martta 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.
