Adopt Alf-Göran

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

ALF-GÖRAN is a black semi-longhair male cat born around 2022. He came to the Cat Shelter after having lived in a welfare home with many other cats. Founding shelter caretaker reports: Alf-Göran had a very tough start in life, as he ended up in the hands of a "Cat Collector." This led to a resource struggle for survival, and of course, a lot of squabbles and fights. Alf-Göran did, however, have the luck to be one of the cats rescued from there. He has accepted to live indoors in safety, with all that it means, getting food every day, a clean litter box, freedom from fleas, not having to fight and compete for food, and not having to endure the cold winters. After having such a start in life, it's not surprising that he has a slightly longer adjustment period before everything falls into place in this new life with humans. He is food-friendly, plays at night with balls, and he can appreciate being gently stroked or petted under his chin. Alf-Göran is looking for a home where he can have the company of a feline friend, preferably a safe one that can show him the way. He also wants to live in a home without children where his new owner is understanding that he needs some work and time to become a safe guy. Are you interested in adopting a cat? Book a visit at the Cat Shelter. This animal is not suitable for homes with children. This animal is for adult-only homes.

ALF-GÖRAN är en svart semilånghårig hankatt född ca 2022. Han kom till Katthemmet efter att ha bott i ett vanvårdshem tillsammans med många andra katter. Fd akutmatte berättar: Alf-Göran hade en mycket svår start i livet då han hade oturen att hamna hos en "Kattsamlare". Detta medför en kamp om resurser för överlevnad och i misären frodades såklart en hel del öronskabb och löss. Alf-Göran hade dock turen att vara en av de katter som räddades därifrån. Han har accepterat att bo inomhus i trygghet med allt vad de innebär, att få mat varje dag, ren låda, fri från ohyra, slippa kampen och slåss om mat samt slippa dom kalla vintrarna. Efter att ha haft en sådan start i livet är det inte konstigt att han har en lite längre startsträcka innan allt faller på plats i detta nya liv ihop med människor. Han är matglad, leker på nätterna då helst med bollar och han kan tycka de är skönt att bli kliad/klappad under hakan med en pensel. Alf-Göran söker ett hem där han kan få sällskap av en katt kompis, gärna en trygg sådan som kan visa honom vägen. Han vill även bo i ett hem utan barn där hans nya ägare är förstående till att han behöver lite arbete och tid för att bli en trygg grabb. Är du intresserad av att adoptera katt?

About Alf-Göran

What life with Alf-Göran looks like

Alf-Göran is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stockholms Katthem in Stockholms Katthem.

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 Alf-Göran, answered.

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