Adopt Tosca

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

February 13, 2023 Tosca is a cat from a large rescue case with many cats that have been saved. Tosca is incredibly shy and kind once she gets to know you. She is active in the evenings to go to the toilet, and especially at night when the shelter staff have gone to bed, she starts to run around and play with everything. We think she would be best suited to live in a home without children. She has made small steps forward in the shelter, and the shelter staff carry and comfort her, but she does not come forward on her own. Tosca would need a secure person who is ready to give Tosca the time it takes for her to become comfortable. She does not seem to be very fond of dogs. Tosca must never be let out near busy roads. Would you like to learn more about Tosca? Send in an interest form and we will contact you. More pictures, videos and the possibility to visit her are available upon request.

13 februari, 2023 Tosca är en katterna från ett stort ärende med många katter som blivit räddade. Tosca är otroligt kelsjuk och snäll när hon lärt känna dig. Hon är framme på kvällarna för att gå på toa, och framförallt på nätterna när stödhemmet gått och lagt sig så börjar hon härja och leka med allt. Vi tror att hon skulle må allra bäst av att bo i ett hem utan barn. Hon har i stödhemmet tagit småsteg framåt, och stödhemmet får bära och gosa med henne, men hon kommer inte fram självmant. Tosca skulle behöva en trygg person, som är redo att ge Tosca den tid som det tar för att hon ska bli bekväm. Hon verkar inte vara helt förtjust i hundar. Tosca får under inga omständigheter släppas ut nära trafikerade vägar. Vill du veta mer om Tosca?

About Tosca

What life with Tosca looks like

Tosca is a small 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tosca, answered.

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