Pongo

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

July 23, 2026 Pongo and his two siblings were dumped in a box at a campsite in Borgholm the day before midsummer. Some campers heard them crying and tried to scratch their way out of the box. If no one had heard them, they would not have survived. They were sluggish and very thirsty when they were found. They recovered quickly in the shelter. Pongo is a wonderful kitten who likes to play and have fun. He is lively and very tame. Cuddly and can be carried. He wants to move with one of his siblings or have a younger friend in the new home.

23 juli, 2026 Pongo och hans två syskpn dumpades i en kartong på en camping i Borgholm dagen innan midsommarafton. Några campinggäster hörde dem skrika o försökte klösa sig ur kartongen. Hade ingen hört dem hade de inte överlevt. De var slöa och jätte törstiga när de hittades. De repade sig snabbt ändå i stödhemmet. Pongo är en underbar kattunge som gillar bus o lek. Pigg o jätte tam. Gosig och går att bära. Han vill flytta med någon av sina syskon eller ha en yngre kompis i nya hemmet.

About Pongo

What life with Pongo looks like

Pongo is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at HKK Kalmar in Sweden.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇸🇪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 Pongo, answered.

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