Mustafa

Mixed Breed · Male

Mustafa is a sad fate cat who enjoyed the life of a house cat in his youth, but when his owners moved away, they simply left the cat behind in the old house. Thus, Mustafa found a new home among construction sites and garages, and luckily also two kind old ladies who began to take him to a safe enclosure to eat with other animals. In early spring, one good person noticed that the cat was limping. Local construction workers said that his paw had recently gotten stuck between some machine :O Quickly, the animal lover contacted us and the old ladies who fed the cat, and set up a trap for the cat to be taken to the rescue center. The next day, the cat was already in the trap and on the way to the clinic! Unfortunately, at that time, the cat's limping was the least of his problems - Mustafa was also suffering from anemia, kidney insufficiency, a dislocated eye, which obviously caused him terrible pain, his teeth were in a terrible condition and there were signs of inflammation in his blood. Gradually, we started treating him, and Mustafa spent a week in the clinic. Currently, his sick teeth and eye have been removed, and the kitten has begun to purr at the foster home. Mustafa, however, is looking for a new foster home, because there are already four other cats at the current foster home and such a social life does not suit him. Maybe he would make a good friend for a quiet cat.

Mustafa on õnnetu saatusega kiisuke, kes oma nooruspõlves sai nautida kodukassi elu, kuid kui ta omanikud kolisid, jätsid nad kassi lihtsalt vanasse kodukohta südametult maha. Nii leidis Mustafa endale ehitusplatside ja garaažide keskel uue eluaseme ning õnneks ka kaks head vanaprouat, kes talle teiste loomade eest turvalisse kuurikesse süüa viima hakkasid. Kevade algul aga märkas üks hea inimene, et kass lonkab üht tagajalga. Kohalikud ehitusmehed teadsid rääkida, et ta käpp oli hiljuti jäänud mingi masina vahele :O Kiirelt võttis see elvakas meiega ja kassi toitnud vanaprouadega ühendust ning sättis lõksu kassi meelistoidukohta üles. Järgmisel päeval oligi juba kiisu lõksus ja kliiniku poole teel! Kahjuks oli tol hetkel kassi lonkamine ta väikseim probleem – Mustafal oli lisaks sellele veel aneemia, neerupuudulikkus, silmaläätse nihkumine, mis talle ilmselt hirmsat valu põhjustas, hambad kohutavas seisus ja põletikunäidud veres tõusnud. Tasapisi hakkasime teda ravima ja nädala veetis Mustafa kliinikus statsionaaris. Praeguseks on ta haiged hambad ja silm eemaldatud ning kiisuke on ometi hakanud hoiukodus nurru lööma. Mustafa aga otsib endale uut hoiukodu, sest praeguses hoiukodus on lisaks temale veel neli kassi ja selline seltsielu talle ei sobi. Võib-olla sobiks sõbraks mõnele rahulikule kiisule.

About Mustafa

What life with Mustafa looks like

Mustafa 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 Mustafa, answered.

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