Tuija

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Tuija came to the shelter with a group of five cats in spring 2022 when the old man had to move to a care home. Tuija is shy around people, but not at all aggressive, just tends to move aside. Tuija gets along well with other cats and would definitely enjoy having a cat friend waiting at home or having one of the familiar roommates come along! Tuija is estimated to have been born in 2017, possibly a bit older than estimated. Lives in the storage room.

FI·Show original

Tuija tuli talolle vanhuksen jouduttua palvelutaloon viiden kissan ryhmässä keväällä 2022. Tuija on arka ihmistä kohtaan, mutta ei lainkaan aggressiivinen ennemmin vain väistää sivummalle. Viihtyy hyvin muiden kissojen seurassa ja varmasti tykkäisi, kun omassa kodissa olisi kissakaveri odottamassa tai joku tutuista huonekavereista lähtisi mukaan! Tuijan on arvioitu syntyneen vuonna 2017, mahdollisesti on hieman arvioitua vanhempi. Asustaa takkahuoneessa.

About Tuija

What life with Tuija looks like

Tuija is a 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 Tuija, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tuija?
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 Tuija on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tuija 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Tuija 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 Tuija 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 Tuija 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.
