Adopt Leo & Zilla

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

Last updated: 03-11-26 Zilla and Leo came to us due to a divorce and no one in the family had the opportunity to continue taking care of the cats. Both are affectionate and social and seem used to older children. They have previously lived in a house but have mainly been indoor cats that have been allowed to go out on the balcony. Zilla has black long fur that requires a lot of grooming. Leo's fur also requires brushing and maintenance. Leo is about 6 years old and Zilla is about 5 years old. They are looking for a home together that can offer a similar lifestyle as they are used to. That is, the possibility of controlled outdoor access or an enclosed yard/balcony. They would like space and do not suit a small apartment.

Sidan senast uppdaterad: 26-03-11 Zilla & Leo kom till oss pga skilsmässa och ingen i familjen hade möjlighet att fortsätta ta hand om katterna. Båda två är tillgivna och sociala och verkar vana vid äldre barn. De har tidigare bott i hus men har främst varit innekatter som fått komma ut på altanen. Zilla har svart lång päls som kräver en del pälsvård. Även Leos päls kräver borstning och underhåll. Leo är ca 6 år och Zilla ca 5 år, de söker ett hem ihop som kan erbjuda liknande tillvaro som de är vana vid. Alltså möjlighet till kontrollerad utevistelse eller innätad rastgård/altan. De vill gärna ha utrymme och funkar inte i en liten lägenhet.

About Leo & Zilla

What life with Leo & Zilla looks like

Leo & Zilla is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Avesta Katthem in Avesta.

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 Leo & Zilla, answered.

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