Alexandra

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 10 years

Alexandra is of the British Longhair breed. She likes attention and cuddles. She likes to sit on your lap and be petted. She enjoys visits and often goes up to greet strangers. She is a playful cat who likes balls, laser pointers, and catnip. However, she has become a bit calmer with age and appreciates taking it easy. She is just like Marit, a high-spirited cat who likes to be up high. Alexandra sometimes has constipation issues and needs to eat cat malt which usually gets her digestion going. Alexandra and Marit eat a special food because Marit is allergic to other food. Not sure if she gets along with small children, but children around 10 years old are fine. She is an indoor cat and wants to stay indoors, but she likes to be outside on a leash but gets scared by sudden noises and dogs. She is also afraid of the sound of paper bags because she got stuck in one several years ago. Marit and Alexandra have lived together for 10 years and are best friends who find great comfort in each other, so they want to live together for life. They don't want to live with other cats or dogs. Alexandra has the common dental disease TR which means she needs to brush her teeth regularly and visit the vet annually. Her dental care is not covered by insurance. Alexandra has a long coat that requires daily grooming and brushing, otherwise she gets mats. She also has runny eyes that need to be cleaned every day.

Alexandra är av rasen Brittisk långhår. Hon tycker om uppmärksamhet och gos. Vill sitta i knät och bli klappad. Hon tycker det är kul med besök och går gärna fram och hälsar på främlingar. Hon är en lekfull katt som gillar bollar, laserpekare och kattmynta. Hon har dock blivit lite lugnare med åldern och uppskattar att ta det lite lugnt. Hon är precis som Marit en hoppig katt som gillar att vara uppe på höga höjder. Alexandra kan ibland ha problem med förstoppning och får då äta kattmalt vilket brukar göra att magen kommer igång. Alexandra och Marit äter ett specialfoder då Marit är allergisk mot annat foder. Vet ej om hon går ihop med små barn, men barn från ca 10 år går bra. Hon är en van innekatt och vill fortsätta vara det, men hon tycker om att vara ute i koppel men blir rädd av plötsliga ljud och hundar. Hon är också rädd för ljudet av papperskassar då hon fastnade i en sådan för några år sedan. Marit och Alexandra har bott tillsamman i 10 år och är bästa vänner som finner stor trygghet i varandra, så de vill bo tillsammans livet ut. De vill inte bo med andra katter eller hundar. Alexandra har den vanliga tandsjukdomen TR vilket gör att hon måste borsta tänderna regelbundet och gå till tandläkaren årligen. Hennes tandvård täcks inte av försäkringen. Alexandra har en lång päls som kräver daglig pälsvård och borstning, annars får hon tovor. Hon har även rinniga ögon som måste rengöras varje dag. Inkom i jourhem 2026-02-23

About Alexandra

What life with Alexandra looks like

Alexandra is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Örebro Katthem in 702 16 Örebro.

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 Sweden

Swedish shelters require an adoption application and home visit. Animals are chipped, vaccinated, and sterilized. Cross-border placements within the EU use the standard pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alexandra, answered.

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