Shingo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Shingo is a grey tabby male cat born around 2020. He came to the Animal Shelter along with many other cats from a colony in Tärnsjö where they lived homeless. He was adopted in March 2025 but returned to us in September 2026 when the home's other cat refused to accept him. Shingo is a very shy and withdrawn boy. He is starting to get closer to his foster caregiver who has begun to pet him, so with time and patience he will blossom into a confident cat. It is important not to give up on him but to continue to push him at his own pace so he develops and becomes more social. Shingo wants to come to a home with cats that is familiar with cats. and with or without a friendly cat friend. Are you interested in adopting a cat? Book a time for a visit at the Animal Shelter.

SHINGO är en gråtigrémaskad hankatt född ca 2020. Han kom till Katthemmet tillsammans med många andra katter från en koloni i Tärnsjö där de levde hemlösa. Han fick ett hem i mars 2025 men kom tillbaka till oss i september 2026 då hemmets andra katt vägrade acceptera honom. Shingo är en väldigt blyg och tillbakadragen kille. Han börjar komma närmare sin skyggisfadder som smått börjat få klappa honom, så med tid och tålamod kommer han att blomma ut till en tryggis. Det gäller att man inte ger upp på honom utan fortsätter att pusha honom i hans takt så han utvecklas och blir mer social. Shingo vill komma till ett kattvant hem utan barn. och med eller utan en snäll kattkompis. Är du intresserad av att adoptera katt? Boka en tid för besök på Katthemmet.

About Shingo

What life with Shingo looks like

Shingo is a small 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 Shingo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shingo?
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 Shingo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shingo 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 Shingo 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 Shingo 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 Shingo 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.
