Nelson

Male · Adult · 6 years

Nelson is an incredibly sweet, social, charming, and cuddly boy - there aren't enough words to describe him! Despite that, he's not a lap cat, but he'll never say no to being petted and cuddled... He's a busy boy with a lot of energy, which means he needs a lot of stimulation, but he can also really enjoy being a couch potato when he takes his breaks... Trisse would very much like to live together with at least one cat companion (read: play companion), so he has someone to live adventurously with. In the shelter where he was, there were other cats, and they accepted him from the very beginning. Still, being quite large, he can sometimes be a bit rough, though he never means any harm.

Nelson är en otroligt snäll, social, charmig och mysig kille - finns inte nog med ord! Han är trots det inte en knäkatt, men att bli klappad och kliad på säger han aldrig nej till... Det är en kille som är busig och har massor av energi, varmed det behövs en del aktivering, men samtidigt så kan han verkligen njuta som en riktig soffpotatis när han väl tar sina pauser... Trisse vill väldigt gärna bo ihop med minst en kattkompis (läs lekkompis), så att han får någon att leva rövare med. I det stödhem där han varit har det funnits andra katter och de accepterade han från första stund. Dock kan han, då han är väldigt stor, ibland bli lite hårdhänt även om han aldrig menar illa på något sätt.

About Nelson

What life with Nelson looks like

Nelson is a large adult cat waiting at Föreningen 9 liv Östergötland in Norrköping.

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 Nelson, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nelson?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Föreningen 9 liv Östergötland handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nelson on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nelson if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Föreningen 9 liv Östergötland 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 Nelson 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 Nelson 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 Föreningen 9 liv Östergötland early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nelson 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.
