Adopt Elbert

Male · Adult · 10 years

ELBERT is a brown and white male cat born around 2015. He came to Katthemmet together with Osric, Godfrey, and Gwendolyn after living homeless in Dalarna. Elbert is an older gentleman who still doesn't feel completely safe around our two-bunned staff. He is very food-friendly and behaves well during feedings. Elbert gets very nervous about changes. When he arrived, he was a boy who liked to be up front and survey his surroundings. He has drawn seven teeth due to tooth loss. The teeth are now clear, but new owners need to be prepared for future dental expenses. Elbert has gray stare in his right eye and is more or less blind in it. He does not have pain as there is no active inflammation. Adopted to a home without children, where he can have a cat companion. This animal is not suitable for homes with children. This animal is for adult-only homes.

ELBERT är en bruntigré och vit hankatt född ca 2015. Han kom till Katthemmet tillsammans med Osric, Godfrey och Gwendolyn efter att ha levt hemlösa i Dalarna. Elbert är en äldre herre som ännu inte känner sig helt trygg runt oss tvåbenta. Han är väldigt matglad och vid matnings så går de bra att klappa på honom. Elbert blir väldigt nervös vid förändringar. När han landat så är han en kille som gärna är framme och spanar in sin omgivning. Han har dragit sju tänder till följd av tandlossning. Tänderna är klara för nu men nya ägare behöver vara beredda på framtida tandkostnader. Elbert har gråstarr på höger öga och är där mer eller mindre blind. Han har inte ont då det inte finns någon aktiv inflammation. Adopteras till ett hem utan barn, där han kan få en kattkompis.

About Elbert

What life with Elbert looks like

Elbert 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 Elbert, answered.

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