Lava

Female

Lava is a social and friendly cat who enjoys being petted and interacting with people. She is still young, so she has a lot of energy. Now she is busy being a mother, but we think she will be a playful and mischievous cat when the kittens move out. Lava is looking for a home where she can have companionship and playtime. She is an indoor cat but would love to have access to a cat-proof balcony or patio.

Mamma Lava var hemlös och hittade en trygg plats på en gård där hon valde att föda sina ungar. Gårdsägaren upptäckte kattfamiljen och kontaktade oss. Lava är en social och trevlig katt som gärna blir klappad och umgås med människor. Hon är fortfarande ung, så hon har en del energi. Nu har hon fullt upp med att vara mamma, men vi tror att hon kommer att vara en busig och påhittig katt när ungarna har flyttat. Lava söker ett hem där hon får sällskap och lek. Hon är en innekatt men hon har gärna tillgång till en kattsäkrad balkong eller rastgård.

About Lava

What life with Lava looks like

Lava is a 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 Lava, answered.

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