Tuhto

Male · Senior · 11 years

Tuhto is a gentle and friendly boy. Tuition is never too much for Tuhto: if Tuhto could decide, Tuhto would always be playing and cuddling. We still don't know how Tuhto will get along with other cats, and whether Tuhto needs a cat friend or would prefer to have fun alone.

FI·Show original

Tuhto on reipas ja ystävällinen poika. Huomiota ei Tuhton mielestä koskaan voi saada liikaa: jos Tuhto saisi päättää, olisi hän jatkuvasti rapsuteltavana ja siliteltävänä. Vielä emme tiedä miten Tuhto tulee toimeen toisten kissojen kanssa, ja tarvitseeko hän kissakaverin vai viihtyisikö paremmin ainoana kissana.

About Tuhto

What life with Tuhto looks like

Tuhto is a senior cat waiting at HESY in Helsinki.

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 Tuhto, answered.

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