How do I contact the shelter about Pätu?

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

Can I adopt Pätu if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — MTÜ Saaremaa Lemmikloomade Turvakodu 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 Pätu 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 Pätu 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 Saaremaa Lemmikloomade Turvakodu early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pätu 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.

Pätu

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

The exact diagnosis is unknown. Suddenly, balance problems appeared, and there were signs of liver damage in the blood. That same night, the cat gave birth to a litter... The male cat arrived at the shelter on 1.11.2020 along with his colony companions, his age was approximately 6 years at the time of arrival. Pätu came into our care due to the owner's placement in a nursing home. It wasn't the cat's owner who asked for help, but the neighbor, who left the entire group of unspayed and unneutered cats on her neck and fed them. Four litters of kittens arrived at the shelter with their mothers, adult males, some wild and some friendly and tame. Pätu is a big growing boy like all the males in this colony. Pätu has never been an aggressive cat, he is rather calm and cautious. It takes him time to adapt to a new environment, but he gets along well with other cats. Pätu is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated and gladly accepts visitors. Our big handsome boy goes home with a contract and adoption fee, interested parties must first complete a questionnaire, which can be found on our website www.saareloomad.ee If you want to change Pätu's world and save him from the shelter community, write, call 58370708 or send a message on Facebook. Pätu is waiting and hoping... In his last years, Pätu lived at the foster home, where he was cared for and loved.

VIKERKAARELE MINEKU PÕHJUS TÄPNE DIAGNOOS TEADMATA. OOTAMATULT TEKKISID TASAKAALUPROBLEEMID, MAKSANÄIDUD VERES OLID LAES. SAMAL ÖÖL ANDIS PÄTU KAHJUKS ALLA… 1.11.2020 koos kolooniakaaslastega Vendiselt turvakodusse jõudnud isane kass, vanus tuleku hetkel umbes 6 aastat. Pätu sattus meie hoole alla perenaise hooldekodusse mineku tõttu. Kassidele ei palunud abi mitte nende perenaine, vaid naabrinaine kelle kaela peale ja toita see mitmekümnepealine steriliseerimata-kastreerimata kassiarmee süüdimatult jäeti. Turvakodusse jõudis neli pesakonda poegi koos emmedega, täiskasvanud isased, osad arad et mitte öelda metsikud, osad aga sõbralikud ja paimaiad. Pätu on suurt kasvu poiss nagu kõik selle koloonia isased. Pätu ei ole kunagi löömamees olnud, ta on pigem rahuliku ja ettevaatliku loomuga. Uue keskkonnaga kohanemine võtab tal aega, aga teiste kassidega on läbisaamine hea. Pätu on kastreeritud, kiibitud ja vaktsineeritud ja võtab hea meelega vastu ka külalisi. Koju läheb meie suur ilus poiss lepingu ja loovutustasuga, huvilistel tuleb eelnevalt täita ankeet, mille leiab meie kodulehelt www.saareloomad.ee Kui soovid muuta Pätu maailma ja päästa ta turvakodu kommuunielust, siis kirjuta , helista 58370708 või saada sõnum FBsse. Pätu ootab ja loodab… Oma viimased aastad elas Pätu hoiukodus, kus oli hoitud ja armastatud…

About Pätu

What life with Pätu looks like

Pätu is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at MTÜ Saaremaa Lemmikloomade Turvakodu in Kuressaare.

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.
