Tao

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Tao is a very charming boy who loves to cuddle. He likes to climb into bed with you when you're getting ready for bed to demand cuddles. He loves being close and purrs loudly as soon as you look at him or talk to him. The best thing for him is simply attention. Tao is not only incredibly cuddly but also very playful. In the foster home, he often runs around with his brother Tarrence or wrestles with his sisters. He also loves to play with ball toys and can spend a long time just sitting and pushing and watching the ball as it goes round and round. Tao has an overbite due to his background. This means that the canines in the lower jaw are misaligned with the upper jaw and risk puncturing the palate. Therefore, you need to check his teeth daily until Tao is about 6 months old to see if he has lost them or not. There is a risk that the permanent teeth will grow out without the lower canines falling out. If this happens, the milk teeth would need to be pulled, which the animal shelter would cover. Even if you don't need to pull out the milk teeth, there is a risk, depending on how he grows, that you may need to pull out the permanent teeth, so you need to be prepared for this. Tao also has some gingivitis (gum inflammation) and therefore needs to be brushed as often as possible, ideally daily. Due to the background with an overbite, you need to expect that a future insurance policy unfortunately won't cover any problems that may arise with a cat's mouth. Tao wants to live in his future home with his brother Tarrence, and if there are already other cats or other animals in the home, this is just a plus, but you need to be prepared for the fact that Tao and his brother are very cocky and any other animals must be able to handle this. Tao could definitely live with children, as long as they can handle his boundaries. Tao is fine as an indoor cat but must have access to a cat-proof balcony or patio. He could also thrive with access to a safe outdoor area. Born in a foster home on 15/5-2026

Tao är en väldigt charmig kille som älskar att gosa. Han kommer gärna upp i sängen när man gått och lagt sig för att kräva gos. Han älskar att vara nära och spinner högt så fort man kollar eller pratar med honom. Det bästa han vet är helt enkelt uppmärksamhet. Tao är förutom otroligt gosig även väldigt busig. I jourhem springer han ofta runt med sin bror Tarrence eller brottas med sina systrar. Han älskar även att leka med bollbanor och kan lägga lång tid på att bara sitta och putta och kolla på bollen som åker runt runt. Tao har på grund av sin bakgrund överbett. Detta innebär att hörntänderna i underkäken hamnar fel i överkäken och riskerar att punktera gommen. På grund av detta behöver man dagligen fram tills att Tao är ca 6 månader gammal kolla till tänderna för att se om han har tappat dom eller inte. Risken finns nämligen att dom permanenta tänderna växer ut utan att hörntänderna i underkäken lossnar. Om detta blir fallet så behöver mjölktänderna dras ut, detta skulle katthemmet isåfall stå för. Även om man inte behöver dra ut mjölktänderna så finns det en risk, beroende på hur han växer, för att man behöver dra ut dom permanenta tänderna, man behöver därför vara beredd på detta. Vidare har Tao även lite gingivit (tandköttsinflammation) och behöver därför tandborstas så ofta som möjligt, gärna dagligen. På grund av bakgrunden med överbett så behöver man räkna med att en framtida försäkring tyvärr inte täcker eventuella problem som kan uppstå med en katts mun. Tao vill i sitt framtida hem bo tillsammans med sin bror Tarrence, finns det redan andra katter eller andra djur i hemmet är detta bara ett plus, man behöver dock vara beredd på att Tao och hans bror är riktigt kaxiga och eventuella andra djur måste kunna hantera detta. Tao skulle absolut kunna bo med barn, så länge dom kan hantera hans gränser. Tao funkar bra som innekatt men måste ha tillgång till en kattsäkrad balkong eller uteplats. Han skulle även kunna trivas bra med tillgång till en säker utevistelse. Född i jourhem 15/5-2026

About Tao

What life with Tao looks like

Tao is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Örebro Katthem in 702 16 Örebro.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇸🇪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 Tao, answered.

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