How do I contact the shelter about Orfalou?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Norrtälje Kattcenter handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Orfalou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Orfalou if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Norrtälje Kattcenter 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 Orfalou 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 Orfalou 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 Norrtälje Kattcenter early rather than rehoming privately; they know Orfalou 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.

Adopt Orfalou

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

There are more cats at the cat shelter looking for new homes than those listed on the website. If you are interested in visiting us and meeting the cats, please book a viewing. In the middle of our group of 15 cats is Orfalou. He is one of the male cats and is probably the father of many of the others in the group. While some cats make their presence known by talking or being active, Orfalou chooses a more discreet way. He often stays quiet and almost becomes invisible, but you can't help but feel his incredible cool and calm presence in the room. Orfalou is the stable rock who spreads a feeling of security to the rest of the family with his calm. But behind that slightly reserved and cool exterior lies a heart of gold. He is a kind guy, so soft and sweet in his way of meeting us humans. He doesn't require grand gestures, but he appreciates the small moments of closeness and the loving words he now receives. Just like his relatives, Orfalou is small in size, but his role as a father and safe point makes him a big personality. Since he is so deeply rooted in his role as a family father and companion cat, he wants to continue living together with a cat lover. Orfalou has been treated for ear mites and is vaccinated. Now he is getting to eat properly before it's time for castration and moving. He is looking for a home that appreciates a calmer companion - someone who sees and appreciates the gentle soul that rests behind his quiet exterior.

Det finns fler katter på katthemmet som söker nya hem än de som finns på hemsidan.Om du är intresserad av att besöka oss och katterna bokar du en visning. Mitt i vår grupp på 15 katter finns Orfalou. Han är en av hankatterna och troligen pappa till flertalet av de andra i gänget. Där vissa katter tar plats genom att prata eller busa, väljer Orfalou en mer diskret väg. Han ligger ofta tyst och gör sig nästan osynlig, men man kan inte undgå att känna hans otroligt coola och lugna närvaro i rummet. Orfalou är den stabila klippan som med sitt lugn sprider en känsla av trygghet till resten av familjen. Men bakom den där lite tillbakadragna och coola ytan döljer sig ett hjärta av guld. Han är en genomvänlig kille, så mjuk och rar i sitt sätt att möta oss människor. Han kräver inga stora gester, men uppskattar de små stunderna av närhet och de kärleksfulla ord han nu får ta emot. Precis som sina släktingar är Orfalou liten till växten, men hans roll som pappa och trygghetspunkt gör honom till en stor personlighet. Eftersom han är så djupt förankrad i sin roll som familjefar och sällskapskatt, vill han fortsätta leva tillsammans med en kattvän. Orfalou har behandlats för öronskabb, vaccinerats och kastrerats. Han söker ett hem som uppskattar en lite lugnare följeslagare – någon som ser och uppskattar den mjuka själ som vilar bakom hans stillsamma yta.

About Orfalou

What life with Orfalou looks like

Orfalou is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Norrtälje Kattcenter 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.
