Pandora

Mixed Breed · Female

Pandora is an estimated 2-3-year-old young cat who, as a community cat, has already experienced quite a lot and has raised three adorable daughters to adulthood. Arriving at the association as a teenage mother, Pandora is very shy and calm; despite her hissing, she has gently allowed herself to be cared for when she developed an ear infection. Pandora freezes with fear and remains extremely timid. She doesn’t approach people and doesn’t yet dare to eat treats from their hands—though she’ll happily accept goodies placed near her nose or within easy reach. She prefers to stay hidden out of sight. Playing with humans is still too frightening for her, though she’s been spotted patrolling the room at night and watching the outside world from the window when the premises have been quiet. In fact, Pandora is most active during times when no humans are around. Pandora is accustomed to other cats and has lived on the premises alongside her daughters. While the kittens were running wild, Pandora mostly kept to herself. She hasn’t paid much attention to new cats that have arrived. However, when people give her space, Pandora eats well and attends to her needs without issue. Pandora particularly loves high-up hiding spots and large scratching posts. Pandora’s diet has been varied, and she generally has a good appetite—as long as she can focus on eating in peace. Wet food has often been served with small pieces of raw meat to discourage her from gobbling it up too quickly. The interactive feeding toys also provide the cat mom with something to do for a while, requiring just a little extra effort to get the food out. Pandora will not be given as an only cat; ideally, she’d find another feline companion in her new home as well, since Pandora has always lived in a group throughout her life. She doesn’t yet know how to appreciate living with humans, but we hope for a home that has plenty of patience and understanding for this shy cat’s needs—and that’s willing to take things slowly, letting the cat set the pace for her own gentle socialization.

FI·Show original

Pandora on arviolta 2-3 vuotias nuorehko kissa, joka on populaatiokissana eläessään kokenut jo kaikenlaista ja kasvattanut aikuisiksi asti kolme somaa tytärtä. Teinimammana yhdistykselle saapunut Pandora on hyvin arka, rauhallinen ja sähinöistä huolimatta antanut säyseästi hoitaa häntä tullessa vaivanneen korvatulehduksen. Pandora jäätyy pelätessään ja on hyvin arka. Ei lähesty eikä uskalla syödä nameja kädestä, ainakaan vielä. Herkut kuitenkin maistuvat jos niitä tarjoaa nenun eteen tai lähettyville, ja kisu saa pysytellä piilossa. Ihmisen kanssa leikkiminenkin on vielä liian pelottavaa mutta hänet on nähty yöllä partioimassa huoneessa ja seuraamassa ulkomaailmaa ikkunalta, kun toimitilalla ollut rauhallista. Pandora onkin kaikkein aktiivisin aikoina, joina ihmisiä ei ole paikalla. Pandora on tottunut muihin kissoihin, ja asunut toimitilalla tyttäriensä seurassa. Penskojen riehuessa, Pandora viettänyt aikaa enimmäkseen omissa oloissaan. Uusiin kissoihin hän ei ole juuri kiinnittänyt huomiota. Ihmisten antaessa tilaa Pandora kuitenkin käy hienosti syömässä ja tarpeillaan. Pandora tykkää erityisesti korkealla sijaitsevista piiloista ja isoista raapimapuista. Pandoran ruokavalio ollut monipuolinen, ja ruokahalu hänellä on yleensä hyvä, kunhan saa rauhassa keskittyä syömiseen. Märkäruoka on tarjottu pitkälti nuolumatoista ja raksut aktiivilautasilta hotkimisen ehkäisemiseksi. Aktiiviastiat myös tarjoavat kissamammalle tekemistä hetkeksi aikaa, kun ruoan eteen on tehtävä hitusen enemmän töitä. Pandoraa ei luovuteta ainoaksi kissaksi, vaan paras olisi että hänelle löytyisi uudessa kodissakin myös kissaseuraa, koska Pandora on elänyt porukassa koko ikänsä. Hän ei osaa vielä arvostaa ihmisen kanssa yhteiseloa mutta toiveissa oliskin koti, jolta riittäisi kärsivällisyyttä ja ymmärrystä aran kissan tarpeisiin ja rauhalliseen kesyttelyyn kissan ehdoilla.

About Pandora

What life with Pandora looks like

Pandora is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Kissojen Katastrofiyhdistys KKY ry in Tampere.

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 Pandora, answered.

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