Taika ja Tuure

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Taika ja Tuure / Home is being sought from the Oulu area. This adorable pair of tabby cats, Taika ja Tuure, are looking for either a loving forever home or a long-term foster home. These siblings are estimated to be about 6 years old, and since they have lived together their whole lives, they will only move to a new home together. Taika ja Tuure have lived in a human home since around 4 months old, so they are well-trained: they always use the litter box and don't otherwise mess or scratch the places. Nail trimming still causes some stress, but that has always been handled. Tuure is a large, gentle boy, and Taika is a small, sensitive girl, whose size should not be misleading: Taika is the leader of the pair. Both are very friendly and curious, and they like to explore places, climb and hide. They are also quite playful, and enjoy various fetch toys, which they can chase as long as the owner can play. When a foster home came, Taika ja Tuure were initially very shy, and needed patience and active support from people to adapt to the new situation. After getting to know each other, however, they have proven to be very affectionate and yearning for closeness, fond of cuddling, who happily curl up in laps. A little shyness runs in their "factory settings," meaning for example sudden movements or loud noises slightly scare them, and also living with other cats in a foster home was too stressful for them. Because of this, Taika ja Tuure are looking for a quiet home without other pets or small children. Taika and Tuure have had dental problems, which have been treated, but require ongoing monitoring regularly. Taika has a very sensitive stomach, which makes her vomit from wrong food or strong stress.

Taika ja Tuure / Kotia etsitään Oulun alueelta Tämä hurmaava raitapaitainen kaksikko on Taika ja Tuure, jotka etsivät joko rakastavaa loppuelämän kotia tai pitkäaikaista sijaiskotia. Iäksi näille sisaruksille arvioidaan noin 6v, ja koska he ovat koko elämänsä yhdessä asuneet, he myös muuttavat uuteen kotiin vain yhdessä. Taika ja Tuure ovat eläneet ihmiskodissa noin 4kk ikäisestä lähtien, joten kotikissatavat ovat kauniisti hallussa: vessahommat hoituvat aina hiekkalaatikkoon, eivätkä he muutenkaan sotke tai revi paikkoja. Kynsien leikkaaminen toistaiseksi vielä jännittää, mutta sekin on aina saatu hoidettua. Tuure on kookkaan puoleinen leppoisa poika, ja Taika pikkuruinen herkkä tyttö, jonka koon ei pidä antaa hämätä: Taika on kaksikon pomo. Molemmat ovat hyvin kilttejä ja uteliaita, ja he mielellään tutkivat paikkoja, kiipeilevät ja kaivautuvat. He ovat myös varsin leikkisiä, ja nauttivat kovin vaikkapa erilaisista onkileluista, joita jaksavat kyllä jahdata niin kauan kuin palvelija jaksaa leikittää. Sijaiskotiin tullessa Taika ja Tuure olivat aluksi hyvin arkoja, ja tarvitsivat ihmiseltä malttia sekä aktiivista tukea uuteen tilanteeseen sopeutumisessa. Tutustuttuaan he ovat kuitenkin osoittautuneet tosi ihmisrakkaiksi ja läheisyyden kaipuisiksi, paijaamisesta tykkääviksi kullanmuruiksi, jotka mielellään hakeutuvat syliin asti kehräämään. Pieni arkuus heillä kulkee silti ”tehdasasetuksissa”, eli esim. äkilliset liikkeet tai kovat äänet hiukan pelästyttävät, ja myös yhteiselo sijaiskodin kissojen kanssa oli heille liian stressaavaa. Tämän vuoksi Taika ja Tuure etsivätkin rauhallista kotia, jossa ei olisi muita lemmikkejä tai pikkulapsia. Taikalla ja Tuurella on ollut hammashaasteita, jotka on hoidettu, mutta jotka vaativat jatkossakin seurantaa säännöllisesti. Taikalla on hyvin herkkä vatsa, joka saa hänet oksentamaan väärästä ruoasta tai kovasta stressistä. Vatsa on kuitenkin saatu kutakuinkin oireettomaksi lääkärin ohjeistamalla ruokavaliolla, uuden kodin tuleeki

Frequently asked

Adopting Taika ja Tuure, answered.

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