Adopt Tur

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Tur was found outside Uppsala where he lived a hard life as a homeless cat. Tur is a cautious male cat who does not yet trust us humans, which is understandable given his background. He stays on his safe place in the shelf and is only visible when no one is looking. With his kind look, we see that there is a kind soul behind his insecurity. With time and patience, we are convinced that his personality will start to show eventually. Tur wishes for a calm home where he gets the time and support he needs to dare to start trusting us humans. He will become a nice family member in the right home.

Tur blev upphittad utanför Uppsala där han levt ett hårt liv som hemlös.Tur är en försiktig hankatt som inte litar på oss människor ännu, vilket är förståeligt med tanke på hans bakgrund. Han håller sig helst på sin trygga plats i hyllan och är framme när ingen ser. Med sin vänliga blick ser vi att det döljer sig en vänlig själ bakom hans osäkerhet. Med tid och tålamod är vi övertygade om att hans personlighet kommer börja visa sig så småningom.Tur önskar sig ett lugnt hem där han får den tid och stöttning han behöver för att våga börja lita på oss människor. Han kommer bli en fin familjemedlem i rätt hem.

About Tur

What life with Tur looks like

Tur is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Uppsala Katthem in Uppsala.

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 Tur, answered.

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