In Finland, Provet can connect to the register of the Finnish Cat Association (Suomen Kissaliitto ry). Use the Kissaliitto integration to retrieve a cat's details from Kissaliitto. You can also send litter registrations to Kissaliitto. In addition, you can send microchipping data, certificates for umbilical hernia, testicles and hearing, and the cause of death. The Kissaliitto integration is available only for clinics in Finland.
Requirements for the Kissaliitto Integration
Check these things before you use the Kissaliitto integration:
The Kissaliitto integration is turned on in Provet.
The patient's species is cat.
If you send data to Kissaliitto, the patient has a microchip number. A register number is not required, but add it if you know it.
If you send data to Kissaliitto, the owner must have given consent for data sharing.
Open the Kissaliitto Integration
In Finland, you open the Kissaliitto integration from the patient page or the consultation page in Provet. The integration opens in a new browser tab. A page with a button for each association can open first. This depends on the setup of your clinic. The Kissaliitto page has the heading “Sending information to the Suomen Kissaliitto”.
The Integrations list also shows your clinic's other integrations, so the list is different in each clinic. Your clinic setup determines what is the name of the integration for the Finnish associations, and it can be for example Liitot: Kissaliitto, Kennelliitto, Hippos.
Open the Kissaliitto Integration from the Patient Page
In the top-right corner of the patient page, select Integrations.
In the drop-down menu, select the integration for the Finnish associations.
If a page with a button for each association opens, select Suomen Kissaliitto ry.

Send a Litter Registration to Kissaliitto
In Finland, you can send the registration data of a litter to Omakissa, the online service of Kissaliitto. You need the owner's consent to send the data.

The litter registration is sent to Kissaliitto. Only Kissaliitto keeps a record of the send.
If Kissaliitto cannot find the litter, a message shows at the top of the page. Check the date of birth of the litter. If the date is correct, ask the owner of the mother cat to check the details in Kissaliitto.
