Pätu

Mixed Breed · Male

May you rest in peace, Patu. Pätu's death was unjust, his suffering avoidable. Unfortunately, none of the funds were enough when faced with such negligence. We don't know how long and what pain Pätu had to endure before his "owner", unable to control his emotions, decided to throw the cat out of the window. We know that with your help and the deep care of volunteers, we did everything we could for Pätu. But it was not enough. Now we are left wondering: What if... if someone had noticed earlier, got to the vet faster, found the right treatment immediately... And we will never know the answers. Thank you to everyone who has lived with Patu, made donations in his name, and continue to donate for SOS cats. We are broken that it ended this way. Until the last moment, Pätu showed his trust in people. We all owe him a joint effort so that fewer cats have to suffer in this way. Rest in peace, Pätu, and forgive us for not being able to do more for you. Pätu was thrown out of the 5th floor window at night on August 6th like a trash bag. Cats that fall from such heights usually have serious injuries, many have such injuries that they must be euthanized. Pätu was quickly taken to the University of Tartu clinic, where it turned out that Patu was lucky - there were no broken bones, internal organs or a ruptured bladder. However, unfortunately, there was a severe oral wound, which is common in cats that fall from high places. This required surgery, which was done and we very much hope that it will heal beautifully and will not need another corrective operation. In addition, one of the claws was broken. The weight was only 3.48 kg - very undernourished for a large male cat. Pätu is very friendly, a very gentle kitten who wants to be very lively. He also got neutered and microchipped during the surgery. Along with many analyses, the surgery and hospital days, the bill was about 1100.- Additional repeat analyses and check-ups at the clinic. Currently, Patu is at the foster home.

🥀PUHKA RAHUS, PÄTU🥀 Pätu surm oli ebaõiglane, tema kannatused välditavad. Kahjuks, ühestki rahasummast ei piisa, kui me oleme silmitsi nii suure hoolimatusega. Me ei tea, kui kaua ja millist valu pidi Pätu tundma veel enne, kui tema “omanik”, suutmata enda emotsioone kontrollida, otsustas kassi aknast välja visata. Me teame, et Pätu sai teie abil ja vabatahtlike sügava hoolimise toel kõik, mida me oskasime tema heaks teha. Kuid seda ei olnud piisavalt. Nüüd jääme me vaid küsima: Mis oleks, kui … kui keegi oleks varem märganud, kiiremini arstile saanud, kohe õige põhjuse ravida leidnud … Ja me ei saa kunagi neid vastuseid. Aitäh kõigile, kes on Pätule kaasa elanud, tema nimel annetusi teinud ja jätkavad SOS kasside nimel annetamist. Me oleme murtud, et see nii lõppes. Viimase hetkeni veel näitas Pätu oma usaldust inimestesse. Võlgneme kõik talle ühise pingutuse, et vähem kasse peaks sellisel viisil kannatama. Puhka rahus, Pätu ja anna andeks, et me ei suutnud sinu jaoks rohkem ära teha. Pätu visati 6. augustil vastu ööd 5. korruse aknast välja nagu prügikott. Nii kõrgelt alla kukkunud kassidel on tavaliselt hulgitraumad, paljudel lausa sellised, et peab nad eutaneerima. Kiiresti viidi Pätu Maaülikooli kliinikusse, kus selgus, et Pätul on palju õnne olnud – ei olnud luumurdusid, siseorganid, põis polnud rebenenud. Kuid kahjuks suulaelõhe, mis on enamikel kõrgelt kukkunutel, oli ikka, ja ulatuslik. See vajas operatsiooni, mis tehti ära ja loodame väga väga, et kasvab ilusasti kokku ja ei pea uut korrigeerivat operatsiooni enam tegema. Lisaks oli murdunud üks kihv. Kaal oli ainult 3,48kg – suurekasvulise isase kassi kohta väga nälginud. Pätu on ülisõbralik, väga leplik kassikene, kes tahab väga hellust. Sai ka operatsiooni käigus kastreeritud ja kiibitud. Koos paljude analüüsidega, operatsiooniga ja haiglapäevadega oli arve ca 1100.- Lisanduvad kordusanalüüsid ja kontroll kliinikusse. Praegu on Pätu-õnneseen hoiukodus.

About Pätu

What life with Pätu looks like

Pätu is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at MTÜ Tartu Kassikaitse in Tartu.

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 Estonia

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pätu, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pätu?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. MTÜ Tartu Kassikaitse 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 Tartu Kassikaitse 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 Tartu Kassikaitse 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.
