Mafana

Male

Mafana comes from the large group of cats we received from an estate. We received twelve cats. When they arrived here, they were tired, scared and dirty. Now the group has recovered and started to show more of their personalities! Mafana is a curious cat. He likes to lie in a place where he has a view of his surroundings. When food is served in the morning, he always comes forward and looks. He is not comfortable with being petted, but he enjoys human company. If you are too pushy, he will tell you. He is an indoor cat who would like to have access to a cat-proof balcony or patio. Mafana is looking for a home with someone who can give him a little extra time and understanding. Mafana will make a fantastic cat when he feels safe!

SV·Show original

Mafana kommer från den stora gruppen av katter vi tog emot från ett dödsbo. Vi tog emot tolv katter. När de kom hit var de trötta, rädda och smutsiga. Nu har gruppen återhämtat sig och börjat visa mer av sina personligheter! Mafana är en nyfiken katt. Han ligger gärna på en plats där han har utsikt över sin omgivning. När det serveras mat på morgonen kommer han alltid fram och tittar. Han är inte bekväm med att bli klappad, men han trivs i människors sällskap. Om man är för närgången så säger han till. Han är en innekatt som gärna har tillgång till en kattsäkrad balkong eller rastgård. Mafana söker ett hem hos någon där han får lite extra tid och förståelse. Mafana kommer att bli en fantastisk katt när han känner sig trygg!

About Mafana

What life with Mafana looks like

Mafana 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 Mafana, answered.

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