Poiss

Mixed Breed · Male

Poiss is (health) healthy, active and seeking closeness, who would like a home where he can go outside. Other cats in the house are too much for him, but outside he can nicely set boundaries with both cats and dogs and be completely undisturbed. Very playful. Poiss is an excellent cuddler, who enjoys human company, wants to wrap himself around a person's neck and can run around the room like a racing horse. He would suit a family as the only cat. Come and meet Pois! Fill out the adoption questionnaire. * Poiss is a very affectionate, people-seeking little motor, whose previous owner gave up, because Poiss could not get along absolutely with the other cat in the family. For a while, Poiss lived at the foster home, but eventually had to move to our cat room. Since he really does not tolerate other cats, he has always been kept alone in his own room. Even in the cattery, he cannot be taken out for walks very often, because sometimes seeing other cats makes him so aggressive that he does not allow anyone to touch him anymore. Poiss himself does not understand at all why he is constantly taken back to his own room and left alone... He just wants to have fun and play with people and run around the big house, not quietly sit by himself on a few square meters. Weeks and months have passed, but no foster care offers have come and Pois' living conditions have not changed. It is clear that this cannot continue! So we are looking for a home for Pois in a village, where there are no other animals. There he could go outside and use his energy and live out his hunting instinct by chasing mice and rats, not by chasing voluntary hunts in the cat room. Then, when he comes back to the room, all time could be spent on toys and treats. * One concerned pet owner has approached us, whose cat Poiss is very unhappy and stressed in his current home. The sources of the problem seem to be other animals in the house - although Poiss lives with his sister, with whom he has lived all his life, for some reason their relationship gets worse every day. Pois' owner has given everything possible for two years to provide the cat with the best home possible, but it's never enough... It's extremely sad when a person has endless love for a cat, but for some reason the specific family or home does not suit the cat. Deciding to give up a cat is never easy, but in this situation, the animal's well-being must come first - and that's why we are looking for a new home for Pois! The tomcat is friendly, large and loves people very much. Ideally, he would go to a (foster) home where there are currently no other animals and where he can calmly recover from stress. Poiss is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and also regularly gets flea treatment. Come help Pois and give him a new opportunity!

ET·Show original

Poiss on (elu)terve, aktiivne ja lähedust otsiv kass, kes tahaks kodu, kus saab käia väljas. Teised kassid elamispinnal on tema jaoks liig, samas õues suudab nii kasside kui koertega kenasti piirid paika panna ja segamatult olla. Väga mänguline. Poiss suurepärane miilustaja, kes naudib inimese lähedust, tahab end kraeks keerata inimese kaela ümber ja suudab toas ringi kapata nägu võistlushobune. Ta sobiks perre ainukeseks kassiks. Tule ja tutvu Poisiga! Täida kodupakkuja ankeet. * Poiss on imearmas, inimeste seltsi otsiv nurrumootor, kellest endine omanik loobus, sest Poiss ei saanud pere teise kassiga absoluutselt läbi. Mõnda aega sai Poiss meie hoole alla tulles elada hoiukodus, kuid lõpuks pidi Poiss ikka meie kassituppa kolima. Kuna ta tõesti teisi kasse ei salli, siis on ta kogu aeg üksinda eraldatult omaette ruumis. Isegi puurituppa ei saa teda eriti jalutama lasta, sest vahel ajab teiste kiisude nägemine ta nii agressiivseks, et ei luba inimeselgi ennast enam puutuda. Poiss ise aga ei saa üldse aru, miks teda kogu aeg tagasi eraldi tuppa tõstetakse ja sinna üksi maha jäetakse… Ta tahaks ju ainult saada paisid ja inimestega mängida ja joosta mööda suurt elamist, mitte mõne ruutmeetri peal nukralt omaette konutada. Möödunud on nädalad, kuud, kuid hoiukodupakkumisi ei tule ja Poisi elukorralduses midagi ei muutu. Selge on, et nii see jätkuda ei saa! Niisiis otsimegi Poisile kodu maakohas, kus ei oleks teisi loomi. Seal võiks ta saada käia õues ning oma energiat kulutada ja jahiinstinkti välja elada hiiri ja rotte taga ajades, mitte kassitoa vabatahtlikke jahtides. Nii võiks tuppa tulles kõik aeg kuluda vaid paitustele ja hellustele. * Meie poole on pöördunud üks mures loomaomanik, kelle kass Poiss on oma praeguses kodus väga õnnetu ja stressis. Probleemi allikad tunduvad olevat kodu teised loomad – kuigi Poiss elab koos oma õekesega, kellega ta on kogu elu koos veetnud, siis miskipärast lähevad suhted nende vahel iga päevaga hullemaks. Poisi omanik on juba kaks aastat andnud endast kõik võimaliku, et kassile siiski enda juures parimat kodu võimaldada, kuid alati sellest lihtsalt ei piisa… See on ääretult kurb, kui inimesel on lõpmatult armastust kassi vastu, kuid misiganes põhjusel ei sobi konkreetne pere või kodu kassile endale. Otsus kassist loobuda ei ole kunagi lihtne, kuid sellises olukorras peab eelkõige mõtlema looma heaolule – ja nii otsimegi Poisile uut kodu! Kassipoiss on sõbralik, suur memmekas ja armastab inimesi väga. Ideaalis võiks ta minna sellisesse (hoiu)koju, kus teisi loomi hetkel ei ole ja kus ta saab rahulikult oma stressist taastuda. Poiss on kastreeritud, vaktsineeritud, kiibitud ja ka regulaarselt ussirohtu saanud. Tule Poisile appi ja anna talle uus võimalus!

About Poiss

What life with Poiss looks like

Poiss 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 Poiss, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Poiss?
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 Poiss on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Poiss 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 Poiss 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 Poiss 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 Poiss 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.
