Sainz

Scottish Fold · Male · Kitten

Gentle gray-striped Sainz is a lively and active kitten. A new home for Sainz should have a young feline companion - not as the only cat. Sainz will be ready to be adopted at the end of August. We ask applicants to familiarize themselves with the Scottish fold breed before filling out an application. The lop ears of a fold cat are the result of a gene mutation that also causes bone and cartilage symptoms, osteoarthritis and increasing pain in cats. In Finland, Scottish fold cats are not accepted into the Finnish Cat Association's register.

20.7.2026: Lempeän harmaaraidallinen Sainz on reipas ja aktiivinen pentu. Sainzin uudesta kodista tulee löytyä hänelle nuori kissakaveri – ei siis ainoaksi kissaksi. Sainz tulee luovutusikään elokuun lopulla. Pyydämme hakijoita perehtymään Scottish fold -rotuun ennen hakemuksen täyttämistä. Fold-kissan luppakorvat ovat seurausta geenimutaatiosta, joka aiheuttaa kissalle myös luusto- ja rusto-oireita, nivelrikkoa ja lisääntyviä kipuja. Suomessa Scottish fold -kissoja ei hyväksytä Suomen Kissaliitto ry:n rekisteriin.

About Sainz

What life with Sainz looks like

Sainz is a puppy/kitten scottish fold cat waiting at HESY in Helsinki.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇮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 Sainz, answered.

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