Tiger

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Tiger came to the shelter together with several other cats in spring 2022, after an elderly owner was moved into a care home. Her exact age is not known, but at the time of arrival she was estimated to be 5–7 years old. Still a little shy, Tiger is happiest in the outdoor enclosure or watching the goings-on from the high shelves.

FI·Show original

Tiger tuli yhdessä muutaman muun kissan kanssa talolle vanhuksen jouduttua hoitokotiin keväällä 2022. Tarkka ikä ei ole tiedossa, mutta tulohetkellä iäksi on arvioitu 5-7 vuotta. Vielä hieman arka Tiger on mielellään ulkotarhassa tai katselee menoa ylähyllyiltä käsin.

About Tiger

What life with Tiger looks like

Tiger is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Vaasan Kissatalo in Finland.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇫🇮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 Tiger, answered.

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