Adopt Marit

Unknown

MARIT is a black female cat born around 2015. She came to the Cat Shelter via Västmanland County Office after living feral outside Västerås. When Marit first came to us, she was scared and hid most of the time. After a while, though, she began to show a social and curious side. She is very food-friendly and often gossips with us. Marit is a quirky girl with a bold, adventurous side. While some cats run away from a vacuum cleaner, she will run towards it to investigate. She loves company and will follow me around the house, purring against my legs, loves to sleep on the bed, and is a fan of scratches from head to tail. She has a feisty side, so she’ll remind you that she’s the boss if you pat her the wrong way with a quick slap, but you’ll learn quickly when she’s getting a bit cranky! Despite being an old lady, she’s very playful, loves hitting toys around the house, and chasing in the evening. She doesn’t meow or say anything loud, but occasionally you’ll hear very soft chirps when she’s excited. She keeps herself clean and is tidy with the litterbox. She is such a funny character, I just wish she and my cat had got along to keep her! Marit has a sensitive stomach and therefore needs special food (allergy food). She also has tooth loss. The teeth she has left are healthy for now, but there is a risk that she may need more teeth extracted later in life.

MARIT är en svart honkatt född ca 2015. Hon kom till Katthemmet via Länsstyrelsen i Västmanland efter att ha levt hemlös utanför Västerås. När Marit först kom till oss var hon rädd och höll sig gömd mesta delen av tiden. Efter ett tag började hon dock visa en social och nyfiken sida. Hon är mycket matglad och i samband med det gosar hon gärna med oss. Marit is a quirky girl who has a bold, adventurous side.

Tänderna hon har kvar är friska i nuläget men risk finns att hon måste dra fler tänder senare i livet.

About Marit

What life with Marit looks like

Marit is a adult 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.

🇸🇪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 Marit, answered.

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