Adopt Orpington

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Orpington was found together with her mother and two siblings. Orpington is a cautious male cat who doesn't quite trust us humans yet. She prefers to stay close to her siblings and mother for safety. While at the cat shelter, her curiosity has started to take more space and she enjoys playing when given the chance. She seems to especially enjoy catching cat toys! Orpington is looking for a home that understands that she needs time to feel completely safe, one step at a time. In the right home, she will eventually gain the courage to show who she is.

Orpington blev upphittad tillsammans med sin mamma och två syskon.Orpington är en försiktig hankatt som inte riktigt litar på oss människor ännu. Han håller sig helst nära sina syskon och mamma för trygghet. Under tiden på katthemmet har hans nyfikenhet börjat ta mer plats och han leker gärna när han får chansen. Han verkar tycka det är extra roligt att fånga kattvippor!Orpington söker ett hem med förståelse för att han behöver tid på sig att våga känna sig helt trygg, ett steg i taget. I rätt hem kommer han så småningom våga visa vem han är.

About Orpington

What life with Orpington looks like

Orpington 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 Orpington, answered.

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