Gio

Male · Young · 1 year

Gio is a talkative boy, but also a slightly shy and timid young male cat, who reacts a lot to sounds and fast movements - so a home without either children or dogs is a must for him to thrive. He loves to play and especially teasing sticks are a hit! When he is comfortable with someone, he likes to lie on his lap and generally enjoy being close to his people most of the time! In his previous home, he has been used to a faithful door guard, who made sure to let him in and out as needed and he has not been used to being alone a lot - so a real, little, sociable boy.

DA·Show original

Gio er en snakkesalig missedreng, men også en lidt sky og genert ung hankat, som reagerer meget på lyde og hurtige bevægelser – så et hjem uden hverken børn eller hund er et must for, at han trives. Han elsker at lege og især drillepinde er et hit! Når Gio er tryg ved én, så ligger han gerne på skødet og nyder i det hele taget at være i nærheden af sine mennesker det meste af tiden. I hans tidligere hjem, har han været vant til en trofast dørvagt, som sørgede for at lukke ham ind og ud i det fri efter behov og han er har ikke været vant til at være meget alene – så en rigtig, lille, selskabelig dreng.

About Gio

What life with Gio looks like

Gio is a small young adult cat waiting at Inges Kattehjem in Glostrup.

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 Denmark

Danish shelters follow EU pet passport rules and require an adoption contract. Animals are chipped, vaccinated, and sterilized before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gio, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gio?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Inges Kattehjem handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gio on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gio if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Inges Kattehjem 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Gio 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 Gio 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 Inges Kattehjem early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gio 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 (DA). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
