Adopt Maxine

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Maxine was found several months ago in an area outside Uppsala before she came to the cat shelter. Maxine is a cautious female cat who does not yet trust us humans - it can be seen in her eyes that she constantly watches every movement. She seeks security with her roommate Marley and they are usually found close together in the cat tree under a blanket. Maxine radiates kindness while she needs time to gather the courage to start showing who she is, step by step. Maxine needs a quiet home with understanding that it will take time before she eventually becomes completely secure. As the picture shows, she is very close to Marley and therefore they would like to move together. We are convinced that with time and patience, Maxine will bloom into the wonderful individual who is hiding inside.

Maxine blev matad några månader i ett område utanför Uppsala innan hon kom till katthemmet.Maxine är en försiktig honkatt som inte litar på oss människor ännu – det syns på hennes blick som ständigt iakttar varje rörelse. Hon söker trygghet hos sin rumskompis Marley och de hittas oftast tätt intill i klösträdet under en filt. Maxine utstrålar vänlighet samtidigt som hon behöver tid på sig att våga börja visa vem hon är, ett steg i taget.Maxine behöver ett lugnt hem med förståelse för att det tar tid innan hon så småningom blir helt trygg. Som bilden visar är hon väldigt nära Marley och de vill därför flytta tillsammans. Vi är övertygade om att med tid och tålamod kommer Maxine blomma ut till den underbara individ som döljer sig där inne.

About Maxine

What life with Maxine looks like

Maxine is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Uppsala Katthem in Uppsala.

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 Maxine, answered.

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