Tequila

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Tequila was born around 2023-2024. She is a relatively small brindle cat who was trapped outside with her four kittens in the fall of 2025. Tequila also cared for two orphaned kittens until they were old enough to be adopted. Tequila has been a shy and hiding cat in her foster home, mainly staying in the safety of her nest, but she would likely tame up with time and could also benefit from a bold feline companion! Despite her young age, Tequila is quite calm, so she prefers to avoid too active or pushy cats. Tequila has had several episodes of diarrhea, which have always ended when she was switched to a grain-free diet. Now Tequila has been eating grain-free food for a longer time and has not had any stomach problems. She likely requires a grain-free diet in the future as well. Tequila lives in the fireplace room.

FI·Show original

Tequila on syntynyt arviolta v. 2023-2024. Melko pienikokoinen raitapaita, joka loukutettiin syksyllä 2025 ulkoa neljän pentunsa kanssa. Tequila hoiti kunnialla myös kaksi orpopentua luovutusikäisiksi. Kotihoidossa Tequila on ollut arka ja lymyillyt lähinnä pesän suojissa, mutta kesyyntyisi varmasti ajan kanssa, voisi myös hyötyä rohkeasta kissakaverista! Tequila on nuoresta iästään huolimatta melko rauhallinen, joten liian vilkkaat tai päällekäyvät kissat se mielummin kiertää kauempaa. Tequilalla on ollut useampi ripulijakso, jotka on aina päättyneet, kun tälle on vaihdettu viljaton ruokavalio. Nyt Tequila on syönyt pidemmän aikaa viljatonta ruokaa eikä vatsavaivoja ole ollut. Vaatii siis luultavasti viljattoman ruokavalion myös tulevaisuudessa. Tequila asustaa takkahuoneessa.

About Tequila

What life with Tequila looks like

Tequila is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Vaasan Kissatalo in Finland.

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.

🇫🇮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 Tequila, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tequila?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Vaasan Kissatalo handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tequila on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tequila if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Vaasan Kissatalo 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tequila 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 Tequila 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 Vaasan Kissatalo early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tequila 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.
