Adopt Mättu

Mixed Breed · Male

Mättu is a gentle kitten with a heart as soft as his fur. He is friendly, curious and simply... a big love! Mättu arrived at the animal shelter in a difficult condition - he had a small "matt" on his head that required care and treatment. It was after this small "matt" that he got his name. But that is now past! Today, Mättu is healthy, happy and ready to start his new life. He enjoys human company, comes willingly for pets and brings joy to every day with his presence. If you feel that Mättu could become your new family member, please first complete the adoption application by clicking the "Give a home" button. If you also want to help Matt with your helping hand, enter an appropriate amount in the "Donate to an animal" box and click the "Donate" button. Thank you very much for caring about the animals at the animal shelter!

Mättu on tumehall kassipoiss, kellel on süda sama pehme kui tema karv. Ta on sõbralik, uudishimulik ja lihtsalt… megalahe! Mättu jõudis varjupaika veidi keerulises seisus – tema peas oli muhk, mis vajas hoolt ja ravi. Just selle väikese “mätta” järgi ta oma nime saigi. Aga see on nüüd minevik! Tänaseks on Mättu terve, rõõmus ja valmis oma uue elu alustamiseks. Ta naudib inimese lähedust, tuleb hea meelega pai küsima ja toob oma kohalolekuga igasse päeva killukese rõõmu. Kui Sa tunned, et Mättu võiks saada Sinu uus pereliige, siis täida esmalt ''Paku kodu'' nupule klikates ära sooviavaldus. Seejärel võtame juba ise huvilistega ühendust. Varjupaigas viibivate loomade ülalpidamine saab toimuda vaid heade annetajate toel. Kui ka sina soovid Mättule enda abikäe ulatada, sisesta ''Anneta loomale'' kastis endale sobiv summa ja kliki nupul Anneta. Suur aitäh, et hoolid varjupaigas viibivatest loomadest!

About Mättu

What life with Mättu looks like

Mättu is a medium-sized adult mixed breed cat waiting at Varjupaikade MTÜ in Tallinn.

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 Estonia

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mättu, answered.

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