Frans

Male

Fantastic Frans! He has made a big journey since he came to us. He comes from a life of homelessness. He was tired, had ticks and limped. The first weeks with us he lay and rested and ate food. At well-chosen times we were allowed to pet him a little on the forehead, but everything else was scary and then he said so. Another week went by and Frans started to take more and more. He is now one of our most social and nice cats. He purrs, strokes and cuddles! Frans has an old, mis-healed injury on his hip that can't be fixed. It may be that he will need pain relief during certain periods. He also needs help to groom his fur on his back, where he doesn't quite reach. He likes to be brushed, so it's no problem! He is primarily an indoor cat, who would like to have access to a cat-safe balcony or paddock. Frans could have outdoor access, as long as it is outside a built-up area and there are no busy roads nearby.

Fantastiska Frans! Han har gjort en stor resa sedan han kom till oss. Han kommer från ett liv i hemlöshet. Han var trött, hade fästingar och haltade. de första veckorna hos oss låg han och vilade och åt mat. Vid väl valda tillfällen fick vi klappa honom lite på pannan, men allt annat var läskigt och då sa han till. Ytterligare någon vecka gick och Frans började ta för sig mer och mer. Han är nu en av våra mest sociala och trevliga katter. Han spinner, stryker sig och gosar! Frans har en gammal, fel-läkt skada på höften som inte går att åtgärda. Det kan vara att han kommer att behöva smärtlindring under vissa perioder. Han behöver även hjälp att sköta pälsen på ryggen, där han inte riktigt kommer åt. Han tycker om att bli borstad, så det är inget problem! Han är i första hand en innekatt, som gärna har tillgång till en kattsäkrad balkong eller rastgård. Frans skulle kunna ha utevistelse, så länge det är utanför ett tätbebyggt område och det inte finns trafikerade vägar i närheten.

About Frans

What life with Frans looks like

Frans is a large adult cat waiting at Djurens Vanner Goteborg in Sweden.

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 Frans, answered.

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