Velen

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Born approximately 2022 Indoor cat (may be outdoor when more confident) Male Velen came to us along with 9 other cats from a large cat colony due to neglect. He has not had much human contact in his life and therefore needs a home with patience and understanding that wants to continue socializing him. He can live with other cats, but dogs or young children are not suitable for him. His long coat requires regular grooming. If you have a suitable home for this large handsome boy, please submit an interest form!

Född ca 2022 Innekatt (eventuellt utekatt när han är tryggare) Hane Velen kom till oss ihop med 9 andra katter från en stor kattkoloni pga vanvård. Han har inte haft mycket kontakt med människor tidigare i livet, och behöver därför ett hem med tålamod och förståelse som vill fortsätta socialisera honom. Han kan bo med andra katter, men hundar eller småbarn passar inte honom. Hans långa päls kräver regelbunden pälsvård. Har du ett passande hem för denna stora fina kille får du gärna skicka in en intresseanmälan!

About Velen

What life with Velen looks like

Velen is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Solgläntans Kattpensionat Vallentuna 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 Velen, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Velen?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Solgläntans Kattpensionat Vallentuna handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Velen on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Velen if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Solgläntans Kattpensionat Vallentuna 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Velen 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 Velen 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 Solgläntans Kattpensionat Vallentuna early rather than rehoming privately; they know Velen 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.
