Vara

Female

Vara comes from the large group of cats we received from an estate. We received twelve cats. When they arrived, they were tired, scared and dirty. The group has now recovered and started to show more of their personalities! Vara is a cautious cat who hasn't really opened up yet. She has come out of her hiding places but still keeps a distance from people. However, it's a big step forward that she is now up and moving around even when we are nearby! We are sure that Vara will become more social and forward when she feels safe. She is an indoor cat but would love to have access to a cat-proof balcony or patio, when she is confident enough.

SV·Show original

Vara kommer från den stora gruppen av katter vi tog emot från ett dödsbo. Vi tog emot tolv katter. När de kom hit var de trötta, rädda och smutsiga. Nu har gruppen återhämtat sig och börjat visa mer av sina personligheter! Vara är en försiktig katt som inte riktigt har öppnat upp sig än. Hon har kommit fram från sina gömställen men håller sig fortfarande på ett ryggt avstånd från människor. Det är dock ett stort framsetg att hon nu är uppe och går och rör sig även när vi är i närheten! Vi är säkra på att Vara kommer att bli mer social och framåt när hon känner sig trygg. Hon är en innekatt men hon har gärna tillgång till en kattsäkrad balkong eller rastgård, när hon är tillräckligt trygg för det.

About Vara

What life with Vara looks like

Vara is a large adult cat waiting at Djurens Vanner Goteborg 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 Vara, answered.

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