Rakel

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Rakel is well described by her foster carer: “She’s a really cozy little rascal, a real charmer. Rakel is also a food-loving lady. She bonds very easily with her human and is social; sometimes she can get a bit excited when overstimulated. She has plenty of energy, and I play with her every single day. She loves cuddling, and when she doesn’t feel like it, she’ll let you know. She does have a bit of a temper sometimes, but not very often (after all, female turtles with the Scorpio sign have a reputation for being a bit assertive). She’d probably get along well with other cats—as long as those cats aren’t too submissive or overly eager to be around her. She’d definitely be a great fit for a family with older children, provided the kids can respect when she signals that she’d rather be left alone. I’m not sure how she’d fare with dogs. She can manage being on her own for several hours at a time. She truly is a charmer—she’s my favorite reason to come home from work!” Rakel would like to live in a fairly spacious home (not a small apartment) or have access to a secure outdoor area. She came into foster care on 2026-06-22.

Jourhemsmatte beskriver Rakel väl: ”Hon är ett väldigt mysigt busfrö, ett riktigt charmtroll. Rakel är en matglad dam också. Hon fäster sig väldigt lätt vid sin människa och är social, kan ibland lite exalterad när hon blir överstimulerad. Hon har mycket energi och jag leker med henne dagligen. Hon älskar att mysa och när hon inte känner för det så brukar hon säga till. Hon har lite humör ibland men inte så ofta (sköldpaddstecknade honor har ju ett rykte om att vara lite bestämda av sig). Hon kan nog passa med andra katter så länge de inte är för undergivna eller är för på henne. Hon kan definitivt passa i en familj med äldre barn så länge barnen kan respektera när hon förmedlar att hon vill vara ifred. Jag vet inte hur hon funkar med hundar. Hon klarar av att vara själv i flera timmar. Hon är verkligen ett charmtroll, hon är min favoritanledning att komma hem från jobbet” Rakel vill bo rätt rymligt (ej mindre lägenhet) eller med tillgång till trygg utevistelse.

About Rakel

What life with Rakel looks like

Rakel is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Örebro Katthem in 702 16 Örebro.

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 Rakel, answered.

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