Selma

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Selma is a social and friendly female cat, approximately 11 years old. She has had a tough life where she has received many litters despite being unspayed, and most of her kittens have been taken away at birth by the irresponsible "owner." Selma lived most of her life outdoors but had access to a balcony where she was, at best, given food by her "owner" in the last years. The "owner" has now passed on the responsibility for Selma to us, and we are ensuring she gets a loving home for the rest of her life. Selma has lived in a foster home, where she had a feline companion for company, but it hasn't worked out well, so she has been moved to our cat shelter. However, we would like Selma to be an only cat in her new home as she shows a preference for all the attention for herself. Currently, she lives as an indoor cat, which works well despite her previous outdoor life. She is busy and playful, so she would like to be stimulated. Since Selma has been through a lot during her broken life, it is important that she is the one who comes forward and chooses to be spayed when she feels safe. When she feels secure, she is a very friendly female cat who wants company. We do NOT want her to go to a family with children as she needs a quiet environment, and she may bite if she is not in the mood to be spayed, which could scare children and also stress her. We believe that Selma would fit best in a home where people are often at home, perhaps with a pensioner who would enjoy the company of Selma? As you can see from the photos, Selma is very attached to her cat bed, which will of course come with her to her new home. Apply for interest.

Selma är en social och trevlig tjej, uppskattningsvis omkring 11 år. Hon har haft ett tufft liv där hon fått många kullar då hon varit okastrerad och flertalet av gångerna har hennes kattungar tagits bort vid födseln av den oansvarigge ”ägaren”. Selma levde sitt liv mestadels utomhus men hade tillgång till en balkong där hon i bästa fall fick mat den sista tiden av sin ”ägare”. ”Ägaren” har lämnat över ansvaret för Selma till oss och nu ser vi till att hon får ett sista kärleksfullt hem resten av sitt liv. Selma har bott i ett jourhem, hon hade en kattkompis som sällskap i jourhemmet men det fungerar tyvärr inte bra så hon har fått flytta till vårt katthem men vi vill att Selma ska få bli ensamkatt i sitt nya hem då hon visar att hon helst vill ha all uppmärksamhet för sig själv. Just nu bor hon som innekatt vilket fungerar bra trots att hon tidigare varit utekatt. Hon är busig och lekfull så vill gärna att man aktiverar henne. Då Selma varit med om en hel del under sin brokiga livstid så är det viktigt att hon är den som själv får komma fram och välja att gosa, när hon känner sig trygg så är hon en mycket trevlig tjej som vill ha sällskap. Vi vill INTE att hon kommer till en barnfamilj då hon behöver lugnt omkring sig och då hon även kan bita till om hon inte är på humör för att gosa vilket kan skrämma barn och även göra henne stressad. Vi tror att Selma skulle passa allra bäst i ett hem där man är hemma mycket, kanske hos någon pensionär som vill ha ett trevligt sällskap i form av Selma? Som ni ser på bilderna så är Selma väldigt fäst i sin kattsäng, som såklart kommer få följa henne i sitt nya hem. Anmäl intresse »

About Selma

What life with Selma looks like

Selma is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Djurskyddet Bill & Bull Söderhamn 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 Selma, answered.

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