Alto

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Alto is a brown-tabby male cat born around 2021. He came to Katthemmet along with Aram, among others, from an abusive home where cats reproduced uncontrollably and were not cared for. Alto is still a bit shy around us two-legged creatures. However, he is very curious and if he's not running around on the floor to sniff and discover, he often lies high up so he has a good view of his surroundings. Alto wants to come to a home without children where he can get a cat friend. Are you interested in adopting a cat? Book a time for a visit at Katthemmet.

ALTO är en bruntigré färgad hankatt född ca 2021. Han kom till Katthemmet tillsammans med bland andra Aram från ett vanvårdshem där katterna förökade sig okontrollerat och inte togs omhand. Alto är än så länge lite harig kring oss tvåbenta. Han är dock väldigt nyfiken och går han inte runt på golvet för att nosa och upptäcka så ligger han ofta högt upp så han har bra utsikt över sin omgivning. Alto vill komma till ett hem utan barn där han kan få en kattkompis. Är du intresserad av att adoptera katt? Boka en tid för besök på Katthemmet.

About Alto

What life with Alto looks like

Alto is a 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 Alto, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alto?
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 Alto on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alto 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 Alto 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 Alto 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 Alto 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.
