Adopt Arik

Male · Adult · 8 years

ARIK is a black male cat born around 2017. He came to Katthemmet together with many other cats, such as Augustin, Adjoa, and Akbar, from a welfare home where the cats had reproduced unchecked and were not being taken in. Arik is a slightly reserved boy who likes to lie on a high place so he can keep an eye on his surroundings. He is calm and we see how he becomes more and more curious. He has drawn a few teeth due to external trauma but there are no signs of dental disease. Arik can live both as a single cat or with other cats, but it is important that his new home works with him so he becomes more secure. He should live in a quiet home without children. This animal is not suitable for homes with children. This animal is for adult-only homes.

ARIK är en svart hankatt född ca 2017. Han kom till Katthemmet tillsammans med många andra katter, tex Augustin, Adjoa och Akbar, från ett vanvårdshem där katterna förökade sig okontrollerat och inte togs om hand. Arik är en lite avvaktande kille som gärna ligger på en hög höjd för att kunna ha koll på sin omgivning. Han är lugn och vi ser hur han blir mer och mer nyfiken. Han har dragit ett gäng tänder till följd av yttre trauma men det finns inga tecken på tandsjukdom. Arik kan bo både som ensamkatt eller med andra katter men det gäller att hans nya hem jobbar med honom så han blir tryggare och mer självsäker. Han bör bo i ett lugnt hem utan barn.

About Arik

What life with Arik looks like

Arik is a adult 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 Arik, answered.

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