Lydia

Mixed Breed · Female

Lydia was found in Malmö and was extremely thin with a sad look in her eyes. We don't know what she has been through, but we do know that she is a tame and kind cat who can sometimes react to quick movements. Since Lydia moved from her foster home to Katthjälpen, she has been very clear that she is not very fond of other cats. Therefore, she would like to live as a single cat and receive all the attention herself!

SV·Show original

Lydia hittades i Malmö och var otroligt avmagrad med en sorgsen blick i ögonen. Vad hon varit med om vet vi inte, men det vi vet är att hon är en tam och snäll katt som ibland kan reagera på snabba rörelser. Sedan Lydia flyttade ifrån sitt stödhem och in till Katthjälpen har hon varit väldigt tydlig med att hon inte är så förtjust i andra katter. Hon vill därför bo som ensamkatt och få all uppmärksamhet själv!

About Lydia

What life with Lydia looks like

Lydia is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katthjälpen Malmö 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 Lydia, answered.

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