Meeri

Mixed Breed · Female

foster home writes 11.04.24: Meeri is a completely normal cat by nature - loving to eat and sleep above all. He is very independent and the lack of sight is not a hindrance in daily life, everything can be done independently and found. The litter box is always found, he runs to the sound of the mice and jumps up on the bed and then jumps down from there. In addition, Meeri also enjoys the roof and going outside to enjoy the smell of the outdoors. Climbing into the boxes and various openings has also become a favorite activity. Surfaces that are left in the laundry (from which it is safe to jump down) are not left untried. Although Meeri is not a talkative cat and rarely comes out when he is scared, he still loves to be petted, accepts the touch and especially enjoys sleeping next to his person, already starting to purr when the word "sleep" is mentioned. A quiet environment would suit Meer better, so it fits more into a family with no small children. Meeri has not shown great fear of visitors or other animals. It is possible that he would also enjoy the company of another cat, but he can also handle being alone very well, as long as he gets plenty to eat and sleeps on the bed at night. * foster home writes 23.03.23: Meeri is a very affectionate kitten who, despite his blindness, manages well with life and lives a full and meaningful life as a kitten (of course). He mainly spends his time sleeping, which he does happily on a soft bed or mat, but eating and playing are also favorite activities for Meeri. Meeri can successfully go to the bed and jump down from there, he also always finds his litter box and food. In fact, the whole apartment became clear to him quite quickly and all corners were thoroughly explored. However, he doesn't seem to jump on the furniture or run around the room, so Meeri is clearly a calm companion. Nevertheless, Meeri definitely includes playing in his daily routine, showing his desire to play at least five times a day, rolling over and waiting expectantly for the game to start. A favorite game is morning breakfast with a piece of meat (see also the video below!). Overall, Meeri is an independent kitten who can handle everything well on his own, but at night he still wants to sleep in the presence of a person and in the morning he likes to rub his face against his person, purring and making sounds. Also during the day, Meer likes to follow his person around the room and be present for every action. He quickly got used to the flood of cats and pats, although he usually comes out when he is scared in the morning, otherwise he would only sleep and play. Because Meeri is slightly startled by sudden movements and unexpected things (although most things do not scare him), he would fit well into a family without small children. He rather expects a quiet environment where he can have enough to eat, play and have his pats. Probably another problem for another cat would not be an issue, since Meeri seems quite tolerant and even various visitors did not scare him. Also, he did not seem to be afraid of the vacuum cleaner, washing machine or other noisy machines - perhaps Meeri has already been a completely tame cat in his life and would like to spend the rest of his life on a soft bed. * Meeri is a friendly blind kitten, whose local people found left at the village community center. Just left there, because very likely he was left there, no one in the village had seen such a cat before. The kitten's sick eyes were quickly checked at the animal clinic and since he could not see anything from them and probably caused him pain and discomfort, he was left without both of them. Despite his blindness, however, Meeri is a remarkably friendly cat, who starts purring already when just the cat door is opened. Very pleasant for him are the pats. Now Meeri is looking for a home where he can slowly recover from the eye operation and start a life as a house cat.

Hoiukodu kirjutab 11.04.24: Meeri on olemuselt täiesti tavaline kass – armastades üle kõige süüa ja magada. Ta on väga iseseisev ning nägemise puudumine igapäevaelus takistuseks ei ole, kõik saab iseseisvalt tehtud ja üles leitud. Liivakasti leiab alati üles, krõbinate heli peale jookseb kohale ning voodile ja sealt alla hüppamine on käkitegu. Lisaks naudib Meeri ka hea ilmaga rõdul ja õues käimist, et õuelõhnasid nautida. Sahtlitesse ja erinevatesse avaustesse pugemine on samuti meelistegevuseks saanud. Proovimata ei jää ka pinnad, mis käpaulatusse jäävad (kust alla hüppamine seega ohutu on). Ehkki Meeri pole sülekass ning ise tuleb harva helluseid nuruma, armastab ta siiski paikätt, võtab vastu ka musid ning naudib üle kõige oma inimese kõrval magamist, hakates juba sõna “magama” peale nurruma. Meerile sobiks rahulikum keskkond, sobides seega rohkem perre, kus pole väikesi lapsi. Külalistest ja teistest loomadest pole ta suurt välja teinud. Võimalik, et isegi naudiks teise käpalise seltsi, kuid saab ka suurepäraselt üksi hakkama, peaasi, et palju süüa ja öösel voodis magada saaks. * Hoiukodu kirjutab 23.03.23: Meeri on väga armas kiisu, kes hoolimata oma pimedusest saab eluga hästi hakkama ja elab igati täisväärtuslikku kiisu(jõude)elu. Peamiselt sisustab ta oma aega magamisega, mida teeb meelsasti pehmel voodil või vaibal, kuid ka söömine ja mängimine on Meeri meelistegevusteks. Voodisse ja sealt alla oskab Meeri edukalt käia, oma liivakasti ja söögi leiab samuti alati üles. Tegelikult sai kogu korter üsna ruttu talle selgeks ja kõik nurgad läbi uuritud. Niisama mööblile ta siiski hüppama ega toas ringi jooksma ei kipu, seega on Meeri näol tegemist rahuliku kaaslasega. Ometi mahub Meeri päevakavasse kindlalt mängimine, mille soovist ta märku annab vähemalt viis korda päevas, visates selili ja oodates äraootavalt mängu algust. Lemmikuks mänguks on hommikumantli paelaga hullamine (vaata ka all videot!). Üldiselt on Meeri iseseisev kiisu, kes saab kõigega ise hästi hakkama, kuid öösiti tahaks ikka ka inimese kaisus magada ning hommikuti end näo vastu hõõruda, nurruda ja pai nuruda. Ka päevasel ajal meeldib Meerile oma inimest toas “jälitada” ja iga toimetuse juures olla. Muside-paide tulvaga harjus ta üsna ruttu, ehkki ise neid nuruma tuleb ta pigem hommikul, muul ajal võiks ainult magada ja mängida. Kuna Meeri pisut ehmub äkiliste liigutuste ja ootamatuste peale (ehkki enamus asju teda ei heiduta), sobiks ta hästi perre, kus poleks väikseid lapsi. Pigem ootab ta rahulikku keskkonda, kus ikka piisavalt süüa, mängida ja paisid saaks. Tõenäoliselt teine kiisu probleemiks poleks, kuna Meeri tundub üsna leplik ning ka igasugused külalised teda karvavõrdki ei heidutanud. Ka ei tundunud hirmsatena tolmuimeja, pesumasin või muud lärmi tegevad masinad – küllap on Meeri oma elus ikka täitsa toakiisu olnud ning sooviks edaspidigi oma elu pehmel voodil veeta. * Meeri on sõbralik pime kassike, kelle kohalikud inimesed leidsid küla seltsimaja juurde visatuna. Just visatuna, sest väga tõenäoliselt oli ta sinna maha jäetud, keegi sellist kassi külas varem näinud ei olnud. Kassineiu haiged silmad said kiirelt loomakliinikus üle vaadanud ja kuna ta neist midagi ei näinud ning ilmselt tekitasid need talle ka valu ja ebamugavust, siis jäi ta mõlemast neist ilma. Hoolimata aga oma pimedusest on Meeri erakordselt sõbralik kass, kes hakkab nurruma juba siis, kui vaid ta puuriuks avatakse. Väga meeldivad talle ka paid. Nüüd otsib Meeri endale kodu, kus silmaoperatsioonist vaikselt taastuda ja kodukassi elu alustada.

About Meeri

What life with Meeri looks like

Meeri is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at MTÜ Tartu Kassikaitse in Tartu.

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 Meeri, answered.

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