Frequently asked questions

Kattholt Iceland is in Reykjavik, Iceland.
How many animals does Kattholt Iceland have available for adoption?
Kattholt Iceland currently has 7 animals listed on TailHarbor. That includes 7 cats. The inventory is refreshed daily from the shelter's own listing system.
How do I adopt an animal from Kattholt Iceland?
Browse the available animals on this page and pick one you'd like to meet. Then contact Kattholt Iceland directly using the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar — Kattholt Iceland handles the adoption process, not TailHarbor. Icelandic shelters work under strict import/export rules — Iceland has no native rabies, so any animal coming in faces extended quarantine. Domestic placement is the norm.
Can I adopt from Kattholt Iceland if I live in another country?
Yes. Cross-border adoption within the EU is straightforward thanks to the EU pet passport system. The animal needs to be at least 15 weeks old, microchipped to ISO 11784/11785, and have a valid rabies vaccination administered at least 21 days before travel. Kattholt Iceland typically handles the vetting, chipping, and passport. The adopter coordinates the transport — common options include rescue networks (NGO-run road transport), professional pet-transport companies, "flight nannies" (volunteer in-cabin couriers), or self-drive pickups for shelters in neighbouring countries.
Is Kattholt Iceland a verified shelter on TailHarbor?
Kattholt Iceland is listed on TailHarbor based on data scraped from their own website, but TailHarbor has not yet manually verified the shelter's contact details. We recommend confirming details directly with the shelter before travelling for an adoption visit.
What is the adoption fee at Kattholt Iceland?
TailHarbor does not track adoption fees — they vary by animal and by shelter, and are set by Kattholt Iceland directly. Typical fees in Iceland cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport). Contact Kattholt Iceland via the sidebar details for the exact fee for an animal you're interested in.
