Orpington

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Orpington is a charming and curious male cat who loves to be involved in everything that’s going on. He cautiously explores his surroundings, peers around, sniffs things out, and clearly shows that he wants to be part of the group. So far, he sometimes hesitates right at the threshold— he wants so much, but needs a little extra reassurance before he dares to take the final step. He needs a feline companion in his new home, a safe and kind friend who can help him take those last few steps and dare to be even more confident. With such a companion by his side, his self-confidence will grow rapidly. Orpington has already made great progress and is revealing more and more of his wonderful personality every day. Given time, patience, and a calm home environment, he’ll continue to flourish and find his own unique place in the world. He was found together with his mother and siblings.

Orpington är en charmig och nyfiken hankatt som gärna vill vara med i allt som händer. Han söker sig fram, tittar, nosar och visar tydligt att han vill vara en del av gemenskapen. Än så länge stannar han ibland precis på tröskeln — han vill så mycket, men behöver lite extra trygghet innan han vågar hela vägen fram.Han behöver en kattkompis i sitt nya hem, en trygg och snäll vän som kan hjälpa honom att ta de sista stegen och våga ännu mer. Med en sådan vid sin sida växer hans självförtroende snabbt.Orpington har redan gjort stora framsteg och visar mer och mer av sin fina personlighet varje dag. Med tid, tålamod och ett lugnt hem kommer han att blomma ut ännu mer och ta plats på sitt eget sätt.Han blev upphittad tillsammans med sin mamma och syskon.

About Orpington

What life with Orpington looks like

Orpington is a large 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.
