Adopt Kex

Male

This is a male who requires your patience. You should live a calm life without small children at home. He came to us very outgoing due to great fear. Today he is much more secure and likes to be petted sometimes. But he can suddenly become uncertain and then may show some aggression. You should have experience with more difficult cats, or read about different cat behaviors, and be prepared that it may take time to gain his trust. Kex is a really good cat and is worth a chance for a good life. Just like all other animals. He has received calming medication from the vet, which we have almost completely discontinued, and he seems to be doing fine anyway. He doesn't have to be so scared for long, the little life.

Detta är en kille som kräver ditt tålamod. Du bör leva ett lugnt liv och utan hemmavarande barn. Han kom till oss och var väldigt utåtagerande pga stor rädsla. Idag är han mycket tryggare och blir gärna klappad ibland. Men han kan helt plötsligt bli osäker och då kan han visa sig lite aggressiv. Du bör ha erfarenhet av svårare katter, alternativt läsa på om katters olika beteenden, och vara beredd på att det kan ta tid att vinna hans förtroende. Kex är en riktigt go katt och är värd en chans till ett bra liv. Precis som alla andra djur. Han har fått lugnande medicin av veterinär som vi snart har fasat ut helt, och han verkar klara sig fint ändå. Han behöver ju inte vara lika rädd länge, det lilla livet.

About Kex

What life with Kex looks like

Kex 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 Kex, answered.

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