Penelope

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

The cat mother Penelope appeared on Kibuna streets last year with three kittens. Kind people offered them food and looked for help to get the cat family warm for winter. Unfortunately, only two of Penelope's kittens reached the shelter, the third disappeared. One of the kittens went to its own home quite soon, the other still waits with its mother for a foster home. Penelope roams around in the cat room and unfortunately has not yet found a common language with people, other cats like her much more than two-legged beings. During cleaning work, you can sometimes accidentally end up too close to Penelope's nest, then the small kitten quickly starts scratching against the blanket. But for street cats who have not had much contact with people, it takes longer for trust to develop. In home conditions, the results come much faster. If you are interested in Penelope's taming, the process - from wild to domestic - please let us know by email!

ET·Show original

Kassimamma Penelope ilmus koos kolme pojaga Kibuna tänavatele aasta tagasi. Head inimesed pakkusid neile toitu ning otsisid abi, et kassipere talveks sooja saada. Paraku jõudis turvakoju vaid kaks Penelope pojakest, kolmas jäi kadunuks. Üks poegadest läks üsna varsti oma päriskoju, teine veel ootab koos emaga kodupakkumist. Penelope toimetab ringi kassitoas ja kahjuks ei ole ta inimesega veel ühist keelt leidnud, teised kassid meeldivad talle palju enam kui kahejalgne. Koristustööde ajal võib vahel ennast unustades liiga lähedale Penelope pesale sattuda, siis on väike käpp vastu pealage üsna kiire käima. Aga sellistel tänavakiisudel, kes inimesega palju kokku puutunud pole, võtabki usalduse tekkimine kauem aega. Kodustes tingimustes on tulemused palju kiiremad tulema. Kui oleksid huvitatud Penelope taltsutamisest, protsessist – metsakiisust paikiisuks, siis anna julgesti sellest teada hoiukodu meiliaadressile ! Tekkis huvi? Täida ankeet ja paku kodu!

About Penelope

What life with Penelope looks like

Penelope is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Gabrieli Loomade Elu MTÜ in Estonia.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇪🇪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 Penelope, answered.

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