Adopt - Book a visit

How to adopt a cat

1. Make a reservation for a visit to the cat shelter (Reservation - Första besök på katthemmet)

2. Fill in the registration of interest that is linked in the confirmation e-mail you receive from us at the reservation

3. When we have received your registration of interest, you will get an e-mail confirming that your visit is booked

4. At the cat shelter you will meet one of the adoption volunteers and write an application for adopting one/two of the cats you have met

5. If your application is approved by our adoption coordinator, you may make a reservation for the cat and take the next step: Book a re-visit to the reserved cat (Återbesök - tingad katt)

Please be aware that:

  • We only adopt indoor cats, i.e. cats that always must be kept indoors. The only exception is for certain cats and if your home is in a very safe and rural area, typically more than 400 meters from any major road/railroad

  • Any balcony/pateo must be enclosed (netting/glassing) before the cat is delivered to your home

  • We only adopt cats to homes within a 40 kilometers driving distance from the cat shelter in Jälla. Only in rare cases, an exception can be made

  • We do not adopt single kittens. If you have no cat before, you need to adopt two kittens or an adult cat and a kitten

  • You must be prepared to receive the cat within 7-14 days after it has been booked on your behalf
