Altea

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

October 9, 2026 If you appreciate a completely quiet home, a cat without attitude, personal space, and things not "accidentally" falling off the kitchen counter, then Altea is not the cat for you. However, if you want a very social and talkative cat that will follow you and tell you when the food bowl is not 100% full or join you at every meeting if you work from home and sometimes press the airplane mode button? Then Altea is the cat for you. Altea is a cuddly cat who wants to be involved and likes to lie in your lap, there is still a lot of kitten in her and she usually responds to calls with a special sound. A lovely cat in every way who now needs a home she can call her own. Accustomed to other cats and housebroken.

9 oktober, 2026 Uppskattar du ett helt tyst hem, en katt utan attityd, personligt utrymme och att saker inte ”råkar” åka ner från köksbänken. Då är Altea inte katten för dig. Vill du däremot ha en mycket social och pratsam katt som kommer att följa dig och talar om när matskålen inte är 100 % full eller är med på varenda möte om du jobbar hemifrån och ibland trycker på knappen för flygplansläge? Då är Altea katten för dig. Altea är en kelig katt som vill vara med och gärna ligger i ditt knä, det finns fortfarande en hel del kattunge i henne och hon svarar oftast på tilltal med ett lite speciellt ljud. En härlig katt på alla sätt som nu behöver ett hem hon kan kalla sitt eget.Van vid andra katter och rumsren.

About Altea

What life with Altea looks like

Altea is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at HKK Kalmar in Sweden.

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 Altea, answered.

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