Vilmari

Scottish Fold · Male · Kitten

7/8/2026: Hopeanharmaa Vilmari is a kind and calm gentleman. Vilmari is a bit slow to warm up: new things and people are a bit intimidating at first, but once he gets to know them, he is friendly. He has also had a great time at HESY. We still can't say how Vilmari gets along with other cats. 9/28/2026: Vilmari has tried living with a few different cats at HESY, but he hasn't really cared about the company of his fellow cats. He is looking for a home as a single cat. We ask applicants to familiarize themselves with the Scottish fold breed before filling out the application. The fold cat's folded ears are the result of a gene mutation that also causes bone and cartilage symptoms, osteoarthritis and increasing pain. In Finland, Scottish fold cats are not accepted into the Finnish Cat Association's register.

7.8.2026: Hopeanharmaa Vilmari on kiltti ja rauhallinen herrasmies. Vilmari on hieman hitaasti lämpenevää sorttia: uudet jutut ja tyypit aluksi vähän jännittävät, mutta tutustuttuaan hän suhtautuu ihmisiin ystävällisesti. Myös hoitotoimenpiteet ovat HESYllä sujuneet Vilmarin kanssa hienosti. Vielä emme osaa sanoa miten Vilmari suhtautuu lajitovereihinsa. 28.9.2026: Vilmari on HESYllä kokeillut yhteiseloa muutamankin eri kissan kanssa, mutta ei ole juurikaan piitannut lajitovereiden seurasta. Hän etsii kotia ainoana kissana. Pyydämme hakijoita perehtymään Scottish fold -rotuun ennen hakemuksen täyttämistä. Fold-kissan luppakorvat ovat seurausta geenimutaatiosta, joka aiheuttaa kissalle myös luusto- ja rusto-oireita, nivelrikkoa ja lisääntyviä kipuja. Suomessa Scottish fold -kissoja ei hyväksytä Suomen Kissaliitto ry:n rekisteriin.

About Vilmari

What life with Vilmari looks like

Vilmari is a kitten scottish fold cat waiting at HESY in Helsinki.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇫🇮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 Vilmari, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Vilmari?: 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 Vilmari on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Vilmari 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Vilmari 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 Vilmari 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 Vilmari 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.
