Sprite, Akaa

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Sprite, an estimated 2-year-old female cat, has been taken in from a population with three other kittens. As the kittens grow independent, Sprite may also begin to seek her own forever home. Sprite’s fur is almost entirely white, with a small black and white patch on her head. Her body is typically silvery and slightly longer. There is some mottled fur on her belly and hind legs, which may be due to past poor living conditions. She is generally a bit of a loner, but can be cuddled, petted, and picked up, though she may not always want to stay in your lap. Food is almost always a challenge for Sprite, and she will often express her frustration by meowing, following, and whining when her hunger pangs are not satisfied. This somewhat unpredictable nature makes Sprite seek a home where her cat is understood and where she can be gently guided out of her current behavior. Currently, the kittens often hide and Sprite will watch from the back, observing. Sprite shows affection towards her foster mother Cokike, and a feline companion in the new home would be beneficial. If no companion is available, Sprite might take cues from Cokike. Sprite received her first vaccination, spay, and diagnosis during her first veterinary visit, which revealed a congenital anomaly in her hind legs, affecting her tail. Before being placed in a new home, Sprite will be spayed, given a booster vaccination, and her nails will be trimmed. Please refer to Kisu ry’s guidelines for cat adopters before responding to the questions posed to potential adopters.

Sprite on arviolta 2-vuotias naaras, joka on otettu talteen populaatiosta kolmen pienen pennun kanssa. Pentujen alkaessa itsenäistyä voi Sprite alkaa myös etsimään omaa loppuelämän kotiaan. Spriten turkki on lähes kokonaan valkoinen, pään päällä on pieni musta valkoinen läikkä. Karva on tavallista silkkisempää ja hieman pidempää. Hännässä ja takajaloissa on kellertävää karvaa, joka saattaa olla myös pinttynyttä likaa aiemmista huonoista oloista johtuen. Hän on pääsääntöisesti aika kesy kaveri, saa silitellä, rapsutella ja nostella mutta ei aina halua jäädä syliin. Ruokatarjoilu on lähes aina hidasta Spriten mielestä, ja se kerrotaan maukumalla, seuraamalla ja nälkäkiukun iskiessä saatetaan tyytymättömyys ilmaista sähinällä ja räppimällä housuapinan puntteja tassulla (kynnellä tai ilman). Tämän vähän arvaamattoman luonteen vuoksi Sprite etsiikin kotia, jossa ymmärretään kissaa ja jolla on halua vähitellen ohjata kissa pois tästä tavasta. Huiskalelu kiinnostaa ja Sprite lähteekin leikkiin mukaan kun saa yksilöllistä huomiota. Tällä hetkellä pennut varastavat usein shown ja Sprite jää taka-alalle tarkkailemaan. Sprite osoittaa kiintymystä ensikodin toiseen emokissaan Cokikseen ja tämän vuoksi uudesta kodista tulisikin löytyä kissasosiaalinen kaveri. Jos kaveria ei vielä ole, voisi Sprite ottaa Cokiksesta kämppiksen. Sprite sai ensimmäisellä eläinlääkärikäynnillään ensimmäisen rokotuksen ja sirun sekä diagnoosin takapään kintereiden sisäänpäin kääntymisestä. Tämä viittaa takajalkojen rakennepoikkeamaan, joka altistaa nivelrikolle normaalia aiemmin. Ennen uuteen kotiin luovutusta Sprite steriloidaan, tehosterokotetaan sekä hampaat hoidetaan.

About Sprite, Akaa

What life with Sprite, Akaa looks like

Sprite, Akaa is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Kissojensuojelu.fi in Helsinki.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sprite, Akaa, answered.

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