Otis Alister

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Otis has roamed a residential area in Rosersberg for about 10 years. He has been seen sleeping in refuse rooms and under balconies, and it seems to have been common knowledge that he was homeless, but no one did anything to help him. Fortunately, one of our cat friends heard about him and asked whether we had space. Given how long he had been outside, we prioritized him, and our friends were able to begin the capture. Otis must have had a home at some point; he was feral but still curious, and he let himself be gently petted when he came in. He was worn down, with scars from old fights, and had a large thick mat of fur on his back. Now he has been able to rest and has met our veterinarian. The mat on his back is gone (and then some)… 😊 He has suffered while homeless and has pain in one leg, so he receives a Solensia injection once a month for pain relief. Otis has developed into a true cuddle prince and can't get enough of petting and cuddles. The home he is looking for is with someone who is home a lot during the day and can give him all the closeness he has missed for so long. He would like to have all the attention to himself, so living as the only cat suits him best. Otis enjoys lying outside in the sun during the day in a cozy bed, and he needs a screened-in balcony or outdoor run in his new home. Otis is currently in a foster home while waiting for a home of his own. ❤️ Otis is now living the good life in one of our lovely foster homes in Täby 😻 Otis has come in! Otis outside

Otis har rört sig i ett bostadsområde i Rosersberg under ca 10 års tid. Han har setts sova i soprum och under altaner och det tycks ha varit allmänt känt att han är hemlös men ingen har gjort något för att hjälpa honom. Som tur var fick en av våra kattvänner höra talas om honom och frågade om vi hade plats. Med tanke på hur länge han gått ute så prioriterade vi honom och våra vänner kunde påbörja infångning. Otis måste ha haft ett hem en gång i tiden, han var förvildad men ändå nyfiken och försiktigt klapptam när han kom in. Han var sliten med gamla slagsmåls skador och hade en stor tjock tova på ryggen. Nu har han fått vila upp sig och träffat vår veterinär. Tovan på ryggen är borta (och lite till)… 😊Han har farit illa ute som hemlös och har ont i ett ben, så han får Solensia injektion 1 ggn / månaden som smärtlindring. Otis har utvecklats till en riktig mysprins och kan inte kan få nog av klappar och mys. Hemmet han söker är hos någon som är hemma mycket om dagarna och kan ge honom all den närhet han saknat så länge. Han vill gärna ha all uppmärksamhet själv så att bo som ensamkatt passar honom nog bäst. Otis vill gärna ligga ute i solen på dagarna i en skön bädd, han behöver ha en in-nätad altan eller rastgård i sitt nya hem. Otis bor i jourhem i väntan på ett eget hem. ❤️ Otis lever nu livets glada dagar i ett av våra fina jourhem i Täby 😻 Otis kommit in! Otis ute

About Otis Alister

What life with Otis Alister looks like

Otis Alister is a large senior mixed breed cat waiting at Katthem in Sweden.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇸🇪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 Otis Alister, answered.

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