Adopt Darnina

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Darnina is a black skunk striped female cat born around 2017. She came to our shelter after living homeless at a dump site. Otherwise, she enjoys napping in various favorite spots that she rotates between depending on the season, sun, and warmth. She likes to sleep alone but spends her waking time in the same room as us. She plays mostly by herself at night with various toys or things she finds, or, if she’s in the mood, with us using hair loops and balls that we roll and toss around. She doesn’t like swings or other hanging toys yet. It has become clear that she has developed general trust in humans. She comes for food and treats, or she will wander around a bit and inspect, even with people she has never met before as long as they are calm.

DARNINA är en svartsköldpaddstigrè honkatt född ca 2017. Kom till Katthemmet från efter att ha levt hemlös på en soptipp. Annars gillar hon att mysa på olika favoritställen som hon roterar mellan beroende på årstid, solen och värme. Hon gillar att sova avskilt men spenderar gärna sin vakna tid i samma rum som oss. Leka gör hon dels själv om natten med diverse leksaker eller saker hon hittar och dels, om hon är på humör, med oss med hårsnoddar och bollar som man skjuter och studsar runt. Hon gillar inte än vippor eller andra leksaker på pinnar. Det har blivit tydligt att hon har fått allmän tillit till människor. Hon kommer fram för mat och godis, eller strosa omkring lite och inspektera, även med personer hon aldrig träffat förut så länge de är lugna.

About Darnina

What life with Darnina looks like

Darnina 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 Darnina, answered.

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