How do I contact the shelter about Mihkel?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. MTÜ Saaremaa Lemmikloomade Turvakodu handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mihkel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mihkel if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — MTÜ Saaremaa Lemmikloomade Turvakodu 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 Mihkel 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 Mihkel 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 Saaremaa Lemmikloomade Turvakodu early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mihkel and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Mihkel

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

On October 29, 2020, together with the colony caretaker, an elderly cat arrived at the shelter, around 6 years old at the time of intake. Mihkel fell into our care due to a litter box accident. The cats did not receive help from their own mother, but from a neighbor who, after chasing and feeding, brought a multitudes of unsterilized and unneutered cat army to the shelter. Four litters of kittens, along with their mothers, who had been taikasvanud (grown up) and osad (some) arad (scared) not to mention metsikud (wild), but some soõbralikud (friendly) and paimaid (male cats). Mihkel, who initially was arg (angry) and rusikad rullis (rolling around) with a lot of hair, has over time turned out to be quite mõnusaks (loving). Due to stress and hardships, the inflammation has turned into a small scar and a bit of baldness, but he communicates well with other cats, especially during food seasons. Mihkel is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated and takes in visitors with a good attitude. Our kind and generous boy is up for adoption with a contract and a hopeful outlook, and interested applicants must first fill out a questionnaire. If you want to change Mihkli's world and give him a good home, write, call 58370708, or message us on Facebook. Mihkel waits and hopes…

29.10.2020 koos kolooniakaaslastega Vendiselt turvakodusse jõudnud isane kass, vanus tuleku hetkel umbes 6 aastat. Mihkel sattus meie hoole alla perenaise hooldekodusse mineku tõttu. Kassidele ei palunud abi mitte nende perenaine, vaid naabrinaine kelle kaela peale ja toita see mitmekümnepealine steriliseerimata-kastreerimata kassiarmee süüdimatult jäeti. Turvakodusse jõudis neli pesakonda poegi koos emmedega, täiskasvanud isased, osad arad et mitte öelda metsikud, osad aga sõbralikud ja paimaiad. Mihkel, kes algul oli arg ja rusikad rullis ka lahkelt peksa pakkus, osutus aja möödudes päris mõnusaks poisiks. Ilmselt kohanemisraskustest ja stressist tingitud tigedus on asendunud nurru ja pailembusega, vaid teiste kassidega läheb tal aegajalt ütlemiseks, eriti toidukausside juures. Mihkel on kastreeritud, kiibitud ja vaktsineeritud ja võtab hea meelega vastu ka külalisi. Koju läheb meie paks ja pontsakas poiss lepingu ja loovutustasuga, huvilistel tuleb eelnevalt täita ankeet Kui soovid muuta Mihkli maailma ja talle head kodu pakkuda, siis kirjuta , helista 58370708 või saada sõnum FBsse. Mihkel ootab ja loodab…
