How do I contact the shelter about Nova?

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

Can I adopt Nova if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — KSEY — Kouvolan Seudun Eläinsuojeluyhdistys 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 Nova 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 Nova 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 KSEY — Kouvolan Seudun Eläinsuojeluyhdistys early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nova and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Nova

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

I am a lovely male cat named Nova, about 3-5 years old. I was found and brought to the animal shelter, and when I arrived I had an eye infection. At first I was really defensive and scared. After moving to the cat room, I have become much more confident and enjoy the company of other cats greatly. I talk to other cats with my nice voice and now even greet the staff with my tail up, happily chatting. I let familiar people pet me, and sometimes even a familiar caretaker can lift me into their arms for a while. Now that I have realized how wonderful human attention and love are, I can't get enough of pets. I roll and purr around people's legs, and if you stop during a petting session, I might bite your leg. Also, if the petting lasts a long time, I don't know what to do and gently nibble your hands. For this reason, it would be good if my new home is cat experienced and cat friendly, who can read my signals and know what I need. When I need peace and when I need attention. My eye membranes are still slightly visible. According to the veterinarian, it is structural, which does not affect my life.

FI·Show original

Olen ihana poikakissa Nova, noin 3-5-vuotias. Tulin eläintalolle löytyneenä ja tullessani minulla oli silmätulehdus. Olin aluksi todella puolustautuva ja pelokas. Kissalaan muutettuani olen rohkaistunut kovasti ja nautin suuresti toisten kissojen seurasta. Juttelen sievällä äänelläni muille kissoille ja tulen nykyään moikkaamaan hoitajiakin häntä pystyssä, iloisesti jutellen. Annan tuttujen silittää minua ja minut saa tuttu hoitaja nostaa jopa syliin hetkeksi. Nyt kun olen tajunnut miten ihanaa ihmisen huomio ja rakkaus on, en oikein saa tarpeekseni silityksistä. Pyörin ja hyörin ihmisen jaloissa ja jos lähdet kesken silityshetken, saatan napata puntistasi. Myös jos silitykset kestävät kauan, en oikein tiedä miten päin olisin ja näykkäisen hellästi kämmentäsi. Tämän takia olisi hyvä jos uusi kotini olisi kissakokenut ja kisun ehdoilla menevä, joka osaa lukea eleitäni ja tietää mitä olen vailla. Milloin tarvitsen rauhaa ja milloin huomiota. Silmäluomieni sidekalvot ovat yhä hieman näkyvissä. Eläinlääkärin mukaan se on rakenteellista, mikä ei haittaa elämääni.
