Tõmmik

Mixed Breed · Male

Tõmmik is a bit shy, but friendly kitten. Tõmmik arrived to us very underweight and with multiple health issues: he had anemia, poor kidney values, a skin infection... To make matters worse, he has been in some serious accident before, which resulted in his hind leg being completely broken. Tõmmik uses his leg quite well, only slightly limping, so we have never been able to tell how bad the condition of his leg really was. And even though we have overcome all previous problems - anemia has resolved, kidney values are normal and there's no mention of the infection anymore - unfortunately, there's nothing that can be done surgically about his sick leg, and Tõmmik just requires palliative care for the rest of his life. Along with that, he can jump, run and climb as well as any other cat. Despite his difficult past, he is such a lovely kitten who loves his person, cuddles, play and other cats. Ideally, he could go home to another kitten companion.

ET·Show original

Tõmmik on pisut tagasihoidlik, kuid inimsõbralik kassike. Tõmmik saabus meile väga alakaalulisena ja päris mitme tervisemurega: tal oli aneemia, kehvad neerunäitajad, nahaseen… Nagu sellest kõigest veel vähe oleks, siis lisaks on ta olnud kunagi mingis raskes õnnetuses, mille tagajärjel on ta ühe tagajala põlvekeder täitsa puruks. Tõmmik kasutab oma jalga nii hästi, ainult kergelt longates, et me poleks iialgi osanud aimata, kui hull seis tal selle jalaga olla saab. Ja kui kõik eelmised mured oleme me ületanud – aneemia on lahenenud, neerunäitajad normis ja seenest pole enam juttugi – siis kahjuks kirurgiliselt ei ole selle haige jalaga midagi ette võtta, vaid Tõmmik vajab lihtsalt elulõpuni valuravi. Sellega koos võib ta hüpata, joosta ja ronida sama hästi nagu ükskõik milline teine kass. Oma kurvast minevikust hoolimata on ta aga nii armas kassipoiss, kes väga armastab oma inimest, paisid, mängimist ning teisi kasse. Ideaalis võikski ta minna koju juba mõnele teisele nurrikule seltsiks.

About Tõmmik

What life with Tõmmik looks like

Tõmmik is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at MTÜ Tartu Kassikaitse in Tartu.

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 Estonia

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tõmmik, answered.

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