Orebro, Örebro · 329 mi / 530 km

Örebro ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌⁠Katthem is a volunteer-run cat shelter and foster-home network on Sockengatan in Örebro that takes in homeless and abandoned cats and finds them new homes. Besides the cats placed in foster homes, a group of cats lives at the shelter's premises, where the public can drop in during open-house hours held every week, alternating between a Wednesday evening in even-numbered weeks and a Sunday afternoon in odd-numbered weeks. Visitors can meet the resident cats, talk to volunteers about them and ask about adoption. Cats are examined by a vet, neutered and vaccinated before they are rehomed, and an adoption fee applies. The shelter publishes profiles of its cats, including those in foster homes, and news of new arrivals and adoptions on its website. It is a shelter rather than a café, and visits centre on meeting cats that are looking for homes.

Vaasa, Ostrobothnia · 348 mi / 560 km

Vaasan ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌⁠Kissatalo, or Katthuset i Vasa, is a cat shelter in an old wooden house on Isolahdentie in Palosaari, Vaasa, about two kilometres from the city centre and close to the University of Vaasa and VAMK campuses. Run by volunteers of the Vaasan kodittomien kissojen ystävät association in this house since 1996, it shelters around 80 cats at a time and finds new homes for 250 to 300 cats a year. Twice a week the shelter holds open doors, when visitors can drop in without booking to see and play with the cats or bring donations. Visitors coming to sign adoption papers or for an adoption interview should book a time within those hours. In summer the association holds yard flea markets at the house. This is a rescue shelter rather than a café, and the cats are waiting for new homes.

Purrfect ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​⁠Café is a cat café with an adoption programme on Sveagatan in Linnéstaden, Gothenburg, near Skansen Kronan.

The number of guests in the cat suite is limited, so visits are best booked online, although drop-in is possible when there is space.
