Mihkel

Mixed Breed · Male

For Michael, the past year has only brought more and more problems. He came to us in a wheelbarrow after a serious accident, and in addition, he was found to have a fungal infection. However, this is the world's most courageous cat, who was never ready to give up - he recovered from both issues nicely and was given a foster home. Unfortunately, the laundry detergent used for the fungus caused Michael an allergy, and the hormone used to treat the allergy resulted in diabetes. And just like a thorn in the foot, the fungal infection returned to Michael, so he had to go back to the cattery at the beginning of August. The doctors hope that now that Michael's hormone treatment is over and the fungal treatment is also ending, Mihkel will be able to overcome his diabetes. To do this, it is necessary to measure Michael's blood sugar twice a day currently and inject him with insulin accordingly. These are not complicated procedures and anyone can handle them after some guidance. But since he also gets special food, he has to live in a cage while staying at the cattery. It's terribly sad that a cat, who has already had to endure cage life while recovering from his leg injuries and while receiving fungal treatment, is now forced to stay in the cage for at least another month... Because we haven't found a foster home for him yet 😢 Mihkel is an amazing cat, who despite all his illnesses and treatments has never been mean or sad. He has a true fighter's spirit and is bravely ready to face all challenges that life throws at him. Could you also be as brave as Mihkel and give him the opportunity to feel the comfort of home during this treatment period? We would just need a foster home for a month or two, until Michael no longer needs to check his blood sugar and the test results confirm that the fungus has also been treated again. Please come to Michael's aid! You can read about Michael's arrival here.

Vaesele Mihklile on viimase aasta jooksul elu küll ainult kaikaid kodaratesse visanud. Meile saabus ta vaagnaluumurruga pärast tõsist õnnetust, lisaks millele avastati tal seenhaigus. Tegemist on aga maailma kõige vaprama kiisuga, kes ei olnud valmis mitte millegi ees alla andma – ta paranes mõlemast murest ilusti ja sai hoiukoju. Kahjuks aga seeneraviks kasutatud pesuvahend tekitas Mihklile allergia, allergia ravimiseks kasutatud hormoon omakorda suhkruhaiguse. Ja nagu kirsiks tordil tuli ka seenhaigus Mihklil tagasi ja nii ta augusti algul jälle kassituppa koliski. Arstid loodavad, et nüüd kui Mihkli hormoonravi on läbi ja seeneravi ka lõppemas, siis saab Mihkel ka oma suhkruhaigusest võitu. Selleks on aga vaja praegu kaks korda päevas Mihkli veresuhkrut mõõta ja sellele vastavalt talle insuliini süstida. Tegemist ei ole keeruliste protseduuridega ja igaüks saab nendega pärast mõningat juhendamist hakkama. Et aga ta saab kõrvale ka ravitoitu, siis kassituppa jäädes peab ta elama puuris. Kohutavalt kurb, et kassike, kes niigi oma jalavigastustest paranedes ja seeneravi ajal on pidanud puurielu kannatama, on nüüd sunnitud veel vähemalt kuu aega seal puuris olema… Sest hoiukodu ei ole me talle veel leidnud 😢 Mihkel on imearmas kass, kes hoolimata kõikidest oma haigustest ja ravidest ei ole kordagi olnud pahane ega kurb. Temas on tõeline võitleja hing ja ta on vapralt valmis vastu võtma kõik väljakutsed, mis elu ta teele viskab. Kas ka sina võiksid olla ka sama vapper nagu Mihkel ja annaksid talle võimaluse sellel raviperioodil tunda kodusoojust? Hoiukodu oleks meil vaja vaid kuuks-kaheks, kuni Mihklil pole enam vaja veresuhkrut mõõta ja saabuvad kinnitavad proovide vastused, et ka seen on taas ravitud. Palun tule vaprale Mihklile appi! Mihkli meieni jõudmisest saad lugeda siit.

About Mihkel

What life with Mihkel looks like

Mihkel 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 Mihkel, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mihkel?
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 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 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 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 Tartu Kassikaitse 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?
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.
