Räkan

Mixed Breed · Female

Räkan came to us from Fiskehoddorna in Malmö. She is still not used to her new environment and will need time to feel comfortable. We are working on her socialization and trying to make it as comfortable as possible during this time.

About Räkan

What life with Räkan looks like

Räkan is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katthjälpen Malmö in Sweden.

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 Räkan, answered.

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