Pirtelö, Helsinki

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Girl cat Pirtelö is searching for her own home ❤️ Pirtelö is a young, friendly girl cat who was found in early 2026. Her exact age is not known, but she is estimated to be around 1–2 years old. Pirtelö would like to have another young, playful cat friend in her new home. Her current companion cat in the first home is not really interested in shared playtime, so Pirtelö is lacking a playmate. People are still a bit scary to Pirtelö. She enjoys playing in the same space with people and might, for example, sit close to a computer screen watching events, but people who come too close make her quickly run for cover. Pirtelö needs a home where her cat’s own desire to gradually get to know things is understood and where she is given time to build trust. By nature, Pirtelö is calm and curious. She loves playing, even though she prefers to play independently rather than with people. Another cat might encourage her to play with people as well. When she came to the first home, Pirtelö had a scratchy wound, but it has since healed. Currently, she is completely clean and uses a litter box without any issues. She eats well—sometimes even a little from her cat friend’s meal if her own food isn’t particularly appealing at the moment. Pirtelö is searching for a peaceful and patient home where she is given time to grow into herself. From this young cat, a brave and playful companion will surely emerge in the right home. 🐾 Pirtelö is vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. FIV and FeLV tests are negative. If you are interested in learning more about Pirtelö, please read Kisu ry’s guidelines for cat adopters before contacting them and answer the adopter interview questions in your first message.

Tyttökissa Pirtelö etsii omaa kotiaan ❤️ Pirtelö on nuori populaatiotaustainen tyttökissa, joka löytyi keväällä 2026. Tarkkaa ikää ei tiedetä, mutta sen arvioidaan olevan noin 1–2-vuotias. Pirtelö toivoisi uudessa kodissaan seurakseen toista nuorta ja leikkisää kissaa. Nykyisen ensikodin toinen kissa ei juuri innostu yhteisistä leikeistä, joten Pirtelöltä puuttuu sopiva leikkikaveri. Ihmiset ovat Pirtelölle edelleen hieman jännittäviä. Se viihtyy jo samassa tilassa ihmisten kanssa ja saattaa tulla esimerkiksi työpöydän läheisyyteen seurailemaan tapahtumia, mutta liian lähelle tulevat ihmiset saavat sen vielä nopeasti loikkimaan karkuun. Pirtelö tarvitseekin kodin, jossa ymmärretään aran kissan omaa tahtia etenevä tutustuminen ja annetaan sille aikaa rakentaa luottamusta. Luonteeltaan Pirtelö on rauhallinen ja utelias. Se rakastaa leikkimistä, vaikka toistaiseksi leikkiikin mieluummin omatoimisesti kuin ihmisen kanssa. Toisen kissan seura todennäköisesti auttaisi sitä rohkaistumaan myös ihmisten kanssa touhuamiseen. Ensikotiin tullessaan Pirtelöllä oli vatsavaivoja, mutta ne ovat sittemmin helpottaneet. Nykyisin se on täysin sisäsiisti ja käyttää hiekkalaatikkoa moitteettomasti. Ruoka maistuu hyvin – joskus jopa kissakaverinkin annoksesta, jos oma ruoka ei juuri sillä hetkellä houkuttele. Pirtelö etsii rauhallista ja kärsivällistä kotia, jossa sille annetaan aikaa kasvaa omaksi itsekseen. Oikeassa kodissa tästä nuoresta kissasta kuoriutuu varmasti vielä rohkea ja leikkisä kaveri. 🐾 Pirtelö on rokotettu, steriloitu ja sirutettu. FIV ja FeLV testit negatiivisia. Jos kiinnostuit kuulemaan Pirtelöstä lisää, niin luethan Kisu ry:n ohjeet kissanottajalle ennen yhteydenottoa ja vastaat jo ensimmäisessä viestissä kissanottajille tehtyihin haastattelukysymyksiin.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pirtelö, Helsinki, answered.

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