How do I contact the shelter about Lavina?

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 Lavina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lavina 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 Lavina 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 Lavina 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 Lavina 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.

Lavina

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Lavina is a black female cat born around 2020. She came to Katthemmet together with Sidonia after living homeless at a barn in Dalarna. An elderly woman fed the cats there and when she ended up in a home, her relatives made sure the cats came to us. When Lavina came to us, she was extremely thin, scared, muscle-poor and infested with parasites. She and Sidonia moved to one of our skilled emergency homes that helped her with both her physical problems and her distrust of people. Today she is a healthy and happy girl who is becoming bolder and bolder all the time. She loves to play with us! Lavina has TR and has pulled out many teeth. The few she has left are healthy right now but there is a risk that more may have to be pulled later in her life. She is also on a soft food diet as she had problems with stubborn diarrhea when she came to us. She must be strictly on this diet, probably for life.

OBS! Ska flytta tillsammans med Sidonia. LAVINA är en svart honkatt född ca 2020. Kom till Katthemmet tillsammans med bland andra Sidonia efter att de levt hemlösa vid en lada i Dalarna. En äldre kvinna matade katterna där och när hon hamnade på hem såg hennes släktingar till att katterna kom till oss. När Lavina kom till oss var hon extremt mager, rädd, muskelfattig och angripen av parasiter. Hon och Sidonia flyttade till ett av våra duktiga akuthem som hjälpte henne både med hennes fysiska problem och med hennes misstro till människor. Idag är hon en frisk och glad tjej som blir modigare och modigare hela tiden. Lavina har behov av ett stort personal space och tycker om att vara för sig själv. Hon har ännu inte upptäckt det magiska med att gosa. Hon är tydlig med att markera när hon inte vill något, men kan också verka mer ogillande än hon egentligen är. Hon behöver en människa med tålamod och kärlek som vågar lära sig hennes signaler, skapa en trygg plats för henne och utmana hennes gränser. Hon är precis som Sidonia mycket lekfull och tycker bäst om att leka med Sid. Hennes favoritleksaker är de som liknar små möss eller har roliga fjädrar.

About Lavina

What life with Lavina looks like

Lavina is a 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.
