Pooja

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Pooja is a black/white male cat born in May 2025. He came to the Animal Shelter with Niyati and Sitara (one of them is his mother) and a group of siblings and bonus siblings: Zira, Tuli, Raaz, Punit, Shanti, Gopi and Kiran after they all lived homeless in Blekinge. The mothers still live in the emergency shelter. Pooja and Punit were adopted in October 2025 but returned in August 2026 when the owner felt he could not give them the attention and time they needed. Former owner says: Both are quite shy cats, it took a little while before they chose to trust me completely, but when they did, they were very loving and attached to me. Once they feel safe with someone, they follow your every step and want attention and love every time they see you. They have a little trouble with new people, it takes a while before they feel they can trust people completely. The cats are very close to each other and have always been, they like to play and cuddle with each other. Here at the Animal Shelter, Pooja is the most brave. He is initially afraid, but if you pat him gently, he softens up and cuddles back.

OBS! Adopters tillsammans med Punit. POOJA är en svart/vit hankatt född i maj 2025. Han kom till Katthemmet tillsammans med Niyati och Sitara (någon av dem är hans mamma) och ett gäng syskon och bonussyskon: Zira, Tuli, Raaz, Punit, Shanti, Gopi och Kiran efter att de alla levt hemlösa i Blekinge. Mammorna bor fortsatt i akuthemmet. Pooja och Punit blev adopterade i oktober 2025 men kom åter i augusti 2026 då huse kände att han inte kunde ge dom den uppmärksamhet och tid dom behövde. Fd husse berättar: De båda är ganska skygga katter, det tog ett litet tag innan dom valde att lita på mig helt men när dom gjorde det var de väldigt kärleksfulla och fästa vid mig. När de väl känner sig trygga vid en följer de efter ens varje steg och vill ha uppmärksamhet och kärlek varje gång de ser en. De har lite svårt för nya människor, det tar som sagt ett tag innan dom känner att dom kan lita på folk helt. Katterna är väldigt nära varandra och har alltid varit, dom gillar att leka och kela med varandra. Här på Katthemmet är Pooja den mest modiga. Han är till en början rädd men klappar man försiktigt på honom så mjuknar han upp och gosar tillbaka.

About Pooja

What life with Pooja looks like

Pooja is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stockholms Katthem in Stockholms Katthem.

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 Pooja, answered.

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