Sentinel, Porvoo

Mixed Breed · Female

Sentinel, more commonly known as Sentti, was found in a metal dumpster from the outside population. Because of the location of the find, the cats were named according to the robots. However, Sentinel has now become more commonly known as Sentti. Sentti is a small, about three and a half kilogram young female cat who has already had several litters in her life, although she is at most four years old. The vet estimated that based on her teeth, Sentti could be even younger. The latest litters are now about six months old, and Sentti still has some extra skin around the middle area. In the foster home, Sentti has proven to be quite affectionate. She does not always start the affectionate interactions, but when she notices she is being petted, the purring motor starts immediately and Sentti pushes the person and the hand that is petting her enthusiastically. Sentti has also started talking when seeing a familiar person. In the foster home, she has been given the nickname "dancing girl," because she makes paw motions against her body so vigorously that she rises onto her hind legs and pushes, like a penguin. Then, enthusiastic, she spins around the person's legs. In new situations, Sentti initially withdraws and clearly enjoys the home where daily life flows rather predictably. When the concept is familiar, Sentti is brave, happy, and playful. Handling Sentti is easy, she allows to be picked up, to examine her mouth and claws. And I already said, Sentti really loves being petted. Sentti also seems very social towards other cats. She has become acquainted with the foster home's own cat and is always pleased to see it. She chatters happily and goes poking. She would probably join in the play if the other cat agreed. Sentti has also slowly become familiar with the dogs in the foster home. At first, the dogs made her nervous, but like a Sentti, she begins to show interest in the dogs as well. Sentti is completely ready to be a house cat and would be ready to move into her own home.

Sentinel, eli tuttavallisemmin Sentti löytyi ulkopopulaatiosta metalliromun seasta. Löytäpaikan metalliromun vuoksi kissat saivat nimiä robottien mukaan. Sentinel on kuitenkin ensikodissa taipunut tuttavallisemmin Sentiksi. Sentti on pieni, noin reilu kolmikiloinen nuori naaraskissa, jolla on ollut jo useammat pennut elämänsä aikana, vaikka ikää on maksimissaan neljä vuotta. Lääkäri arvioi, että Sentti voisi olla hampaiden perusteella nuorempikin. Viimeisimmät pennut ovat nyt noin puolivuotiaita ja muistona heistä Sentillä on yhä hieman ylimääräistä nahkaa keskivartalon alueella. Sentti on ensikodissa osoittautunut varsin hellyydenkipeäksi kissaksi. Hän ei osaa tehdä hellyydenosoituksiin aina aloitetta, mutta kun huomaa saavansa rapsutuksia, käynnistyy kehräysmoottori välittömästi ja Sentti puskee ihmistä ja silittävää kättä innoissaan. Sentti on myös alkanut juttelemaan nähdessään tutun ihmisen. Sentti on saanut ensikodissa lempinimen ”tanssityttö”, sillä hän tekee kättä vasten pukkauksia päällään niin ponnekkaasti, että nousee takajaloilleen ja puskee, kuin pässi. Sitten innoissan pyörähtelee ihmisen jaloissa. Uusissa tilanteissa Sentti alkuun vetäytyy tuumailemaan, ja selkeästi se nauttisikin kodista, jossa arki sujuisi melko ennalta-arvattavasti. Kun konsepti on tuttu, Sentti on rohkea, iloinen ja leikkisä. Sentin käsittely on helppoa, hän antaa nostaa syliin, tutkia suuta ja kynsiä. Ja sanoinko jo, että Sentti tosiaan RAKASTAA silittelyä. Sentti vaikuttaa myös kissojen suhteen hyvin sosiaaliselta. Hän on tutustunut ensikodin omaan kissaan ja on aina mielissään nähdessään tämän. Hän kujertaa innoissaan ja käy puskemassa. Intoutuisi luultavasti leikkiinkin, jos toinen kissa siihen suostuisi. Myös ensikodin koiriin Sentti on tutustunut hiljalleen. Alkuun koirat jännittivät, mutta Senttimäiseen tapaan hän alkaa osoittaa jo kiinnostusta myös koiria kohtaan. Sentti on täysin valmis kotikissa ja hän olisi valmis muuttamaan omaan kotiinsa.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sentinel, Porvoo, answered.

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