How do I contact the shelter about Narelle?

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

Can I adopt Narelle if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Gabrieli Loomade Elu 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 Narelle 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 Narelle 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 Gabrieli Loomade Elu MTÜ early rather than rehoming privately; they know Narelle 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.

Narelle

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Narelle is a foster kitten from Raikküla colony and arrived at the shelter with his fellow companions already as an adult. He had no prior contact with people and people who took care of the colony did not approach him, therefore his first contact with people was fearful. He lacked experience or maybe it had been negative before and it cannot be blamed on the animal for trying to protect himself. Calming down, he started to carefully watch his surroundings, but he still did not want to get close to people. Like most such shy kittens, he also needed time and has now had a whole year. Narelle is now in the cat room and has become a good friend, and a familiar person from the colony, Novalee, is supporting him. They still walk around the room side by side, lie down together and even eat together. Narelle could go to a permanent home, because he is actually healthy and lively cat, just a bit shy still. With a person who has time to spend with him, the kitten could definitely become a loving companion. Narelle interested parties should just send a message to the foster home to the email address and then we can talk more about the kitten.

Narelle on Raikküla koloonia kasvandik ning saabus turvakoju koos oma saatusekaaslastega juba täiskasvanu eas. Suuremaid kokkupuuteid inimesega tal varem polnud ja koloonia eest hoolitsenud inimestele ligi ei läinud, seetõttu oli tema esmane kokkupuude inimesega raevukas. Puudus tal ju kogemus või ehk oli see varasemalt olnud negatiivne ja seda ei saa talle sugugi pahaks panna, et loomake ennast kaitsta püüdis. Rahunedes hakkas ta hoolega ümbrust jälgima, kuid päris ligi ei tahtnud ta endale siiski veel lubada. Nagu enamus selliseid kiisusid, vajas ka tema aega ja seda on ta nüüd terve aasta ka saanud. Narelle toimetab nüüd kassitoas ja suureks sõbraks ning toetajaks on talle kolooniapäevilt tuttav Novalee. Ikka tatsavad nad külg külje kõrval toas ringi, pikutavad koos ja söömagi tullakse koos. Narelle võiks küll päriskoju minna, sest tegelikult on ta terve ja tubli kass, ainult pisut pelglik veel. Oma inimesega, kellel on aega temaga tegeleda, saaks kassiplikast kindlasti armas kaaslane. Narelle huvilisel tuleb saata vaid kiri hoiukodu meiliaadressile ja siis saame juba kiisust rohkem rääkida. Tekkis huvi? Täida ankeet ja paku kodu!
