Josia

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Josie is a brown tabby and white female cat born around 2021. She came to the Animal Shelter along with Viatrix, among others, after living homeless on a farm in Dalarna. A lady had fed the cats there, and when she ended up in a nursing home, her kind relatives made sure the cats came to us. Josie is a cute, adorable girl who was shy, thin and full of parasites when she came to us. Today she has gained weight and is a bolder and relatively relaxed girl. She has a sensitive stomach and must continue to eat her bland diet in her new home. She is looking for a home where she can be with a friendly cat companion, either Viatrix, or someone else. The home should be fairly quiet so she doesn't fit in a family with young children.

JOSIA är en bruntabby och vit honkatt född ca 2021. Hon kom till Katthemmet tillsammans med bland andra Viatrix efter att de levt hemlösa vid en gård i Dalarna. En dam hade matat katterna där och när hon hamnade på äldreboende såg hennes snälla släktningar till att katterna fick komma till oss. Josia är en nätt, näpen tjej som var blyg, mager och full av parasiter när hon kom till oss. Idag har hon ätit upp sig och är en modigare och relativt avslappnad tjej. Hon har en känslig mage och måste fortsätta äta sin skonkost i nya hemmet. Hon söker ett hem där hon får sällskap av en snäll kattkompis, antingen Viatrix, eller någon annan. Hemmet bör vara ganska lugnt så hon passar inte i en småbarnsfamilj.

About Josia

What life with Josia looks like

Josia is a small 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 Josia, answered.

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