How do I contact the shelter about Priit?

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 Priit on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Priit 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 Priit 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 Priit 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 Priit 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.

Priit

Mixed Breed · Male

There are cats. And then there are orange cats. And somewhere in between lives a round orange gentleman named Priit. He sincerely believes that there is a toy hidden in every object. Paper balls, socks, curtain strings, boxes, shadows, your own legs, and sometimes things that no one else sees are well suited. If something moves, it must be caught. If something doesn't move, it must be given the opportunity to start moving. His days consist largely of discovering more and more reasons to run around the room, make an elegant jump, land a bit less elegantly, and then behave as if it had been planned from the beginning. Life is just too exciting to think about it for too long. Paw control is more of a creative suggestion than a strict rule for him. If the game gets particularly exciting, the paws may move faster than the thoughts, and some accidental scratches may occur. Not out of malice - the world is sometimes so full of excitement that there is enough for everyone. That's why he is looking for a home where there are no small children who might misunderstand his playfulness. Other cats? Well... they are not superfluous, but a bit strange. People are much more interesting and toys shouldn't be shared with anyone anyway. Priit would be happiest at home, where he can be the only cat and shine with his big orange personality! Priit is not perfect. He has been diagnosed with FIP. He is a bit plump. A bit clumsy. A bit too enthusiastic. Sometimes completely wildly energetic. And that's why he is one of those cats that are not forgotten. He just needs a person who looks at this little orange chaos and thinks: "Yes. You are the one I've been waiting for!"

ET·Show original

On olemas kassid. Ja siis on olemas oranžid kassid. Ning kusagil nende kahe vahepeal elab üks ümar oranž härrasmees nimega Priit. Ta usub siiralt, et igas esemes on peidus mänguasi. Hästi sobivad paberikuulid, sokid, kardinanöörid, kastid, varjud, su enda jalad ja vahel ka asjad, mida keegi peale tema ei näe. Kui miski liigub, tuleb see kinni püüda. Kui miski ei liigu, tuleb sellele anda võimalus liikuma hakata. Tema päevad koosnevad suuresti sellest, et avastada üha uusi põhjuseid mööda tuba ringi kihutada, teha elegantne hüpe, maanduda veidi vähem elegantselt ja siis käituda nii, nagu see oligi algusest peale plaanis. Elu on lihtsalt liiga põnev, et selle peale pikemalt mõelda. Ka käpakontroll on tema jaoks pigem… loominguline soovitus kui range reegel. Kui mäng läheb eriti põnevaks, võivad käpad liikuda kiiremini kui mõtted ning sekka satub mõni kogemata küünistus. Mitte pahatahtlikkusest – lihtsalt maailm on vahel nii tohutult elevust täis, et sellest jätkub kõigile. Just seetõttu otsib ta kodu, kus ei ole väikseid lapsi, kes võiksid tema mänguhoogu valesti mõista. Teised kassid? Noh… nad ei ole üleliigsed, küll aga veidi imelikud. Inimesed on palju huvitavamad ning mänguasju ei peaks niikuinii kellegagi jagama. Kõige õnnelikum olekski Priit kodus, kus ta saab olla ainus kass ja kogu oma suure oranži isiksusega särada! Priit ei ole täiuslik. Tal on diagnoositud FIP. Ta on natuke pontsakas. Natuke kohmakas. Natuke liiga innukas. Vahel täiesti pööraselt energiline. Ja just sellepärast on ta üks neist kassidest, keda ei unustata. Ta vajab lihtsalt inimest, kes vaatab seda väikest oranži kaost ja mõtleb: “Jah. Just sind ma olengi oodanud!”

About Priit

What life with Priit looks like

Priit 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.
