Adopt Raju

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Raju was found in a small population from the countryside in autumn 2022. At first, the collie was as its name suggests, but now it is already calmed down. People are still quite interesting creatures. Mr. Raju lives in the cat house's small bedroom.

Raju on loukutettu talolle pienestä populaatiosta maaseudulta syksyllä 2022. Alkuun kolli oli nimensä mukainen, mutta nykyisin jo leppynyt. Ihmiset ovat toki yhä aika jännittäviä olioita. Raju-herra asuu kissatalon pienen puolen makuuhuoneessa.

About Raju

What life with Raju looks like

Raju is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Vaasan Kissatalo in Finland.

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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Raju, answered.

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