Kämpa

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Kämpa arrived at the cat shelter together with about twenty other cats from a feral colony. As a kitten, she once became seriously ill, and given how small and thin she was, no one knew if she’d make it. But Kämpa showed that despite her tiny frame, she had a fighting spirit! Despite her tough start in life, she’s an incredibly curious cat who loves to sneak around and see what you’re up to. Her favorite time of day is in the morning, when the household wakes up—then she rushes over for cuddles, happily twitches her tail, and lately has even started making gentle purrs. Kämpa is a playful little rascal; she teases and darts around when it’s time to play. One of her favorite pastimes is crawling under blankets or into clothes left lying around—so watch where you sit! She often seeks comfort from her friend Kurra, who isn’t always in the mood for cuddles—but with time and patience, I can see that Kämpa could become a real lap cat. The combination of Kurra and Kämpa provides endless entertainment. They play, tease each other, wrestle, and go on adventures together. And if one of them happens to hide, the other will set off immediately to find her. These two girls both seek security in each other and challenge one another—they’re simply learning what it means to be cats. Kämpa is often the bolder one, and when she takes the initiative, it’s usually Kurra who runs ahead and makes first contact. And when they curl up together and fall asleep, there are few sights sweeter than that. Kämpa is looking for a home together with her best friend Kurra. The home should be a bit quieter, with plenty of time for lots of attention and play. Kämpa will also need help with administering medication.

Kämpa kom in till katthemmet tillsammans med ett tjugotal andra katter från en kattkoloni. Som liten blev hon vid ett tillfälle riktigt dålig och med tanke på hur liten och tunn hon var visste ingen om hon skulle klara sig. Men Kämpa visade att i den lilla kroppen fanns det en kämpaglöd!Trots sin tuffa start i livet är hon en en otroligt nyfiken katt som gärna smyger och kollar vad du har för dig. Hennes favorittid på dagen är på morgonen när hushållet vaknar, då rusas det fram för gos, glada ryckningar i svansen och på senaste även lite försiktiga kurranden. Kämpa är en spelevink, hon busar och flyger fram när det är dags för lek. En favorit är att krypa under filtar eller in i kläder som ligger framme, så se dig för vart du sätter dig! Hon söker ofta mys hos sin kompis Kurra, som inte alltid är på humör, och med tid och tålamod kan jag se att Kämpa skulle kunna bli en riktig knäkatt.Kombinationen av Kurra och Kämpa ger dig oändligt med underhållning. De leker, busar, brottas och går på äventyr tillsammans. Och om en av dem råkat gömma sig, då går den andra och letar tills hon hittats. Tjejerna både söker trygghet i och utmanar varandra, de lär sig vara katter helt enkelt. Kämpa är ofta den som är lite modigare, och när hon tar initiativ är det Kurra som springer före och tar första kontakten. När de sedan gosar ihop sig och sover, då är det få saker som ser sötare ut än det.Kämpa söker ett hem tillsammans med bästisen Kurra. Hemmet behöver vara lite lugnare där det finns tid för mycket uppmärksamhet och lek. Kämpa behöver även hjälp med medicinering.

About Kämpa

What life with Kämpa looks like

Kämpa is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Uppsala Katthem in Uppsala.

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 Kämpa, answered.

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