How do I contact the shelter about Turmaliini?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Maukula ry handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Turmaliini on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Turmaliini if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Maukula ry 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 Turmaliini 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 Turmaliini 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 Maukula ry early rather than rehoming privately; they know Turmaliini 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.

Turmaliini

Mixed Breed · Female

Turmaliini arrived at Maukula with a few other feral cats in December 2025. Turmaliini has had several vet visits since the beginning of the year, but now he is ready for a new home due to his health. All of Turmaliini's teeth had to be removed at the vet, but this does not bother Turmaliini. Everything new is exciting for Turmaliini, which makes his reaction to hide and mew. This also requires the new home to be prepared by giving Turmaliini plenty of time and stress management. When Turmaliini gets time to get used to the new environment and people do not pay too much attention to him, he dares to spend time comfortably and even eat in the presence of people. Also, a toy ball with treats has proven to be a nice thing for Turmaliini. Turmaliini is being surrendered vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, dewormed and tested for FIV and FeLV. Will not be surrendered as the only cat or allowed to roam freely. Would you like to offer a safe home for Turmaliini? Send us an email and tell us what kind of home you could offer him.

Turmaliini saapui Maukulalle muutaman toisen populaatiokissan kanssa joulukuussa 2025. Turmaliinilla on ollut useita eläinlääkärikäyntejä vuoden alussa, mutta nyt hän on terveydentilan puolesta valmis uuteen kotiin. Turmaliinilta on jouduttu poistamaan kaikki hampaat eläinlääkärissä, mutta hampaattomuus ei Turmaliinia häiritse. Kaikki uusi on Turmaliinista jännittävää, jolloin Turmaliinin reaktio on piiloutuminen ja muriseminen. Tähän täytyy myös uuden kodin varautua antamalla Turmaliinille runsaasti aikaa sekä stressinhallintaan panistamalla. Kun Turmaliini saa aikaa tottua uuteen ympäristöön ja ihmiset eivät kiinnitä häneen liikaa huomiota, hän uskaltaa viettää aikaa rennosti sekä syödä myös ihmisten läsnäollessa. Myös aktivointipallo herkuilla on osoittautunut Turmaliinista kivaksi asiaksi. Turmaliini luovutetaan rokotettuna, sirutettuna, leikattuna, madotettuna sekä FIV- ja FeLV-testattuna. Ei luovuteta ainoaksi kissaksi eikä vapaasti ulkoilevaksi. Kissan luovutusmaksu on 250 euroa. Olisiko sinulla tarjota turvallinen koti Turmaliinille?
