How do I contact the shelter about Svarten?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. HKK Kalmar handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Svarten on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Svarten if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — HKK Kalmar 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 Svarten 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 Svarten 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 HKK Kalmar early rather than rehoming privately; they know Svarten 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.

Svarten

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

February 23, 2026, Svarten was found in a villa garden in Färjestaden, hungry and lost, without a microchip. He has been in care for a while now and has started to really come out of his shell. Some information from the current foster home: He is very friendly towards me and my family, but can also say no. He was very determined when we got him, as he both growled and hissed at us, which he can still do with new people. We have two cats and they get along fairly well. One of my cats was scared of him, but it has gotten much better. I think it's mostly because of my cat, as it is sensitive. However, I think Svarten might need a patient friend. He doesn't like small children, as it can get too loud and then he hides. Maybe older children. He would probably also like to be outside sometimes. Svarten likes when people are calm and patient. He talks a lot when he wants something, is bored, or is hungry. He is funny, mischievous, and quirky in a positive way, social with those he trusts, and very loving under his conditions.

23 februari, 2026 Svarten hittades i en villaträdgård i Färjestaden, hungrig och vilsen och utan id-märkning. Nu har han varit omhändertagen ett tag och börjat blomma ut ordentligt. Lite info från nuvarande stödhem: Han är jättetrevlig mot mig och min familj, men kan säga ifrån. Han var väldigt bestämd när vi fick honom då han både revs och fräste ifrån, vilket han även kan göra nu med nya människor.Vi har två katter och funkar ganska bra. Min ena katt har varit rädd för honom, men det har blivit mycket bättre. Men tror att det kan mest bero på min katt, då han är känslig. Tror dock att Svarten kan behöva en kompis med tålamod. Han tycker inte om små barn, då det kan bli för högljutt och då gömmer han sig. Kanske äldre barn. Han skulle nog vilja vara ute lite också. Svarten tycker om när man är lugn och har tålamod. Han pratar väldigt om han vill något, är uttråkad eller är hungrig. Han är rolig, busig och udda på ett positivt sätt, social mot de han litar och väldigt kärleksfull på hans villkor.

About Svarten

What life with Svarten looks like

Svarten is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at HKK Kalmar 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.
