Nostalgia

Male

Nostalgia is an active and curious cat who eagerly explores everything new. Affectionate Nostalgia enjoys being held and loves petting -- so much that she may bite with her teeth if the petting ends too quickly. Because Nostalgia's displays of affection can sometimes be a bit rough, she is not suitable for families with small children. A cat companion will be found for Nostalgia in her new home.

FI·Show original

Nostalgia on aktiivinen ja utelias kissaherra, joka suuntaa ennakkoluulottomasti tutkimaan kaikkea uutta. Seurallinen Nostalgia viihtyy hyvin sylissä ja rakastaa rapsutuksia – niinkin kovasti, että saattaa hampaillaan ilmoittaa jos rapsutukset loppuvat liian nopeasti. Koska Nostalgian hellyydenosoitukset ovat toisinaan hieman rajujakin, ei häntä luovuteta pienten lasten perheeseen. Uudesta kodista tulee löytyä Nostalgialle kissakaveri. Hän lähtisi mieluusti samaan kotiin Rihannan kanssa.

About Nostalgia

What life with Nostalgia looks like

Nostalgia is a adult cat waiting at HESY in Helsinki.

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 Finland

Finnish shelters require a home visit and an adoption contract. Animals are vetted; the EU pet passport covers cross-border travel within the bloc.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nostalgia, answered.

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