Shiro

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 6 months

Shiro, a charming unregistered ragdoll-siamese mix boy, is looking for a home together with Kuro. Shiro is a real lap cat and cuddle buddy who spends all his time with his human or in his arms. Shiro loves caresses, stroking and kisses - and never seems to get enough of them. He is a very brave and social young gentleman who comes to greet new people without prejudice in the hope of receiving scratches. In addition to pampering, Shiro loves to play and hopes for a lot of shared activity from his new home. Especially feather toys and rattling or rattling toys are this lively boy's absolute favorites! There must be plenty of space and time for play in the new home. Shiro is also enthusiastic about participating in all household chores - he has to be able to follow cooking from the kitchen level, and he loves to empty the dishes from the dishwasher and empty the dishes, as well as to speed up the rake during sweeping. Everyday care procedures are carried out relaxed. Shiro can be easily brushed in small portions and his claws can be cut without being noticed during a petting session. Giving medicine directly into the mouth as a pill or syringe has been found to be challenging in the foster home, but fortunately it goes down without any problems in food. Shiro and Kuro have developed their own, "dishonest" ways to add filling to their bellies. The duo is a lightning-fast food rosvoduo, which is why the new home must be careful with storage: all cat and human food must be stored behind closed doors. If the duo finds something edible, the food bags and jars open in no time and the food rosvoduo enjoys its catch! In the new home, it is important to ensure that Shiro eats his own food in complete peace, and Kuro must not be allowed to drive Shiro away from his food bowl. Shiro will move to a new home only with his best friend Kuro.

Läheisyydenkipeä pusupoika Shiro etsii kotia yhdessä Kuron kanssa. Shiro on hurmaava rekisteröimätön ragdoll-siamilaissekoituspoika. Hän on todellinen sylikissa ja halipulla, joka viettää kaiken mahdollisen ajan ihmisen vieressä tai sylissä. Shiro rakastaa silityksiä, paijausta ja pusuja – eikä tunnu saavan niistä koskaan tarpeekseen. Hän on erittäin rohkea ja sosiaalinen nuori herra, joka tulee ennakkoluulottomasti tervehtimään uusia ihmisiä rapsutuksien toivossa. Hellittelyn lisäksi Shiro rakastaa leikkimistä ja toivoo uudelta kodiltaan paljon yhteistä aktivointia. Erityisesti sulkalelut sekä kilisevät tai rapisevat lelut ovat tämän vauhdikkaan pojan ehdottomia lemppareita! Uudessa kodissa on oltava paljon tilaa ja aikaa leikkihetkiä varten. Shiro on myös innoissaan mukana kaikissa kodin askareissa – ruoanlaittoa on pakko päästä seuraamaan keittiön tasolta lähietäisyydeltä, astianpesukoneen astioiden esipesu ja astioiden tyhjennys on Shiron lempipuuhaa kuten myös rikkalapion vauhdittaminen lakaisun yhteydessä. Arjen hoitotoimenpiteet sujumaan saadaan leppoisasti. Shiroa voi harjata mutkattomasti pienissä erissä ja kynnet saa leikattua aivan huomaamatta paijaustuokion yhteydessä. Lääkkeiden anto suoraan suuhun pillerinä tai ruiskulla on sijaiskodissa todettu haastavaksi, mutta ne uppoavat onneksi täysin ongelmitta ruoan seassa. Shiro ja Kuro ovat kehittäneet omanlaisiaan, “epärehellisiä” keinoja saada massuihin lisätäytettä. Kaksikko on salamannopea ruokarosvoduo, jonka vuoksi uuden kodin tulee olla tarkkana säilytyksen kanssa: kaikki kissojen ja ihmisten ruoat on säilytettävä suljettujen ovien takana. Jos duo löytää jotain syötäväksi kelpaavaa, aukeaa ruokapussit ja purnukat kädenkäänteessä ja ruokarosvoduo nauttii saaliinsa! Uudessa kodissa onkin tärkeää varmistaa, että Shiro saa syödä omat ruokansa täysin omassa rauhassaan, eikä Kuroa saa päästää häätämään Shiroa ruokakupiltaan. Shiro muuttaa uuteen kotiin ainoastaan yhdessä parhaan ystävänsä Kuron kanssa.

About Shiro

What life with Shiro looks like

Shiro is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Rekku Rescue ry 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 Shiro, answered.

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