Adopt Baloo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Baloo is a cautious boy who comes all the way from a colony in Skåne. He has made great progress since he came to the cat shelter. Baloo is a talkative boy who likes to tell us people when he thinks it's time for a break or food. He dares to be really close when offered a treat! When it's time for a break, Baloo often takes the lead to explore all the corners he can find in the playroom. Over time, he has become very brave and stays near us people and talks non-stop. Sometimes he also takes the opportunity to groom himself or play with Mowgli. Baloo seems happy with everything life offers and now longs for a home together with Mowgli. He is looking for a quiet home as an indoor cat where the person understands that it may take some time before he comes out of his shell. Baloo needs daily medication.

Baloo är en försiktig kille som kommer ända från en koloni i Skåne. Han har gjort stora framsteg sedan han kom till katthemmet. Baloo är en pratglad kille som gärna berättar för oss människor när han tycker att det börjar bli tid för rast eller mat. Erbjuds en godsak vågar han vara riktigt nära!När det är dags för rast tar Baloo ofta täten för att undersöka alla vrår han kan hitta i lekhallen. Han har med tiden blivit väldigt modig och håller sig i närheten av oss människor och pratar för fullt. Då och då passar han även på att stryka sig eller busa med Mowgli. Baloo verkar nöjd med allt som livet ger och längtar nu efter ett hem tillsammans med Mowgli. Han söker ett lugnt hem som innekatt där människan har förståelse för att det kan ta lite tid innan han kommer ut ur sitt skal. Baloo behöver daglig medicinering.

About Baloo

What life with Baloo looks like

Baloo is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Uppsala Katthem in Uppsala.

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 Baloo, answered.

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