How do I contact the shelter about Perla?

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

Can I adopt Perla if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — PESU — Pirkanmaan 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 Perla 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 Perla 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 PESU — Pirkanmaan eläinsuojeluyhdistys early rather than rehoming privately; they know Perla 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.

Perla

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 13 years

I am a grumpy Perla – estimated to have been born around 2013. I love closeness and snuggles, and I often seek them from my beloved human. I usually enjoy spending time next to them, basking in their affection. I also generally trust strangers. I am calm and love peace, not liking speed or chaos around me. I love human company! When I get to be part of the shelter’s little moments, I show my contentment with a gentle purr. Sometimes I want to retreat to my own little space. When I want more attention, I lift my front paw and loudly seek a snuggle. A bit of bad luck has accumulated over these years. I have a common hamster diabetes, which is why my hamster legs have been removed, and a hamster doctor’s check-up is mandatory for me annually (the next one is in January 2027). I also have food allergies, which have shown up as corn and salt sensitivities. My intermittent symptoms do tell which foods are suitable for me. I also have anxiety, which is why I take a calming pill daily. My new owner has been well-versed and fully committed to the health care of hamsters. I thank you with love and in my gentle nature! ❤️ I would fit best in a home with no small children or other active pets. I have not been afraid of older children, but I am not looking to move into a little child home. I value peace and my own space, but I cling to my human deeply! Do you have a warm cheek and a safe forever home to offer me? Hello! Here at the forever home search, a grumpy and grumpy Danae.

AVIn pitopaikkatunnus: 24500557 Olen hurmaava Perla – arviolta noin vuonna 2013 syntynyt lempeä rouvakisu. Nautin läheisyydestä ja rapsutuksista ja niitä haenkin usein lempi-ihmiseltäni. Mieluusti vietän aikaa hänen vieressään nauttien hellyydenosoituksista. Myös vieraampiin ihmisiin suhtaudun yleensä luottavaisesti. Olen rauhallinen ja rauhaa rakastava persoona, en kaipaa vauhtia tai vilskettä ympärilleni. Nautin ihmisen seurasta! Kun saan olla mukana arjen pienissä hetkissä, osoitan tyytyväisyyttäni pehmeällä kehräykselläni. Välillä haluan vetäytyä omiin oloihini nokosille. Kun taas haluan lisää huomiota, nostan etutassuani ja hellästi haen rapsuttavaa kättä. Vähän vaivojakin on kertynyt tässä vuosien varrella. Minullakin on kissoilla varsin yleinen hammassyöpymäsairaus, jonka vuoksi minulta on poistettu hampaita, ja hammaslääkärin tarkastus on minulle pakollinen vuosittain (seuraavan kerran viimeistään tammikuussa 2027). Minulla on ruoka-aineallergioita, jotka ovat oireilleet korva- ja suolisto-oireina. Tilapäiskotini kyllä kertoo, mitkä ruoat sopivat minulle. Minulla on myös nivelvaivoja, jonka takia syön kipulääkettä päivittäin. Uuden omistajani on hyvä olla perehtynyt ja ehdottoman sitoutunut kissojen terveydenhoitoon. Palkitsen kyllä vaivan rakkaudella ja ihanalla olemuksellani! ❤️ Sopisin parhaiten kotiin, jossa ei ole pieniä lapsia tai muita aktiivisia eläimiä. Vanhempia lapsia en ole pelästynyt, mutta pikkulapsikotiin en ole muuttamassa. Arvostan rauhaa ja omaa tilaa, mutta kiinnyn omiin ihmisiini syvästi! Onko sinulla tarjota minulle lämmin syli ja turvallinen loppuelämän koti? Mau! Tässä kurnahtelevat vauhdikkaat kissapojat Tiida ja Octavia. Ollaan toistemme parhaat kaverit, ja halutaan päästä yhteiseen loppuelämän kotiin. Morjes, sano komiat toisillensa! Mä oon Lesi, palttiarallaa 2020-2021 syntynyt pojankloppi vailla omaa kotia. Kiltti ja seurallinen Romi-kissa etsii kotia eläkepäiviksi! Klinikalla hoidetaan koirat, kissat , eksoottiset eläimet ja luonnonvaraiset eläimet. Klinikalla on uudet modernit laadukkaat laitteet diagnostiikkaa varten, mm. erilaiset tähystimet ( mm. gastroskooppi, fiberoskooppi, jäykkä tähystin ... ), hampaiden rtg...

About Perla

What life with Perla looks like

Perla is a small senior mixed breed cat waiting at PESU — Pirkanmaan eläinsuojeluyhdistys in Tampere.

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 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.
