Ariana og Aruna

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Ariana and Aruna are two sweet girls who love cuddling, playing, and each other. They are looking for a quiet home with older children or no children. They are adopted as indoor cats, but with the possibility of becoming outdoor cats when they have become properly safe. They are both believed to have been born in May 2025. Hi, we are Ariana and Aruna. We look like sisters and behave like sisters, but we come from a large colony, so we can't be completely sure. But as two peas in a pod, we are guaranteed. We are both completely obsessed with bird sounds, and if you put on a bird video, we are entertained for hours. We are both very cuddly, and if one of us gets cuddled, the other also gets cuddled. As a rule, it ends up with you cuddling with us both at the same time as we cuddle each other. We both like to be in your arms, but Aruna will probably stay longer than Ariana. If you lie in bed, we use you as a bed, but at night, it is also Aruna who holds out the longest with you. We like routine, so if you go to bed late, there will be a chorus of protest meows. If we have played enough before bedtime, we also keep quiet throughout the night. You will notice that we are young when it's time to play. We play with absolutely all the toys we can find. When we are alone, it's most fun with toy mice, but if you play with us, fishing rod is the best. I, Aruna, am a bit more careful, while Ariana often flies between walls after the game. We are social and accommodating, but we must get to know you first. Therefore, we are not so fond of visits, so we hide in a quiet place. But we are safe and keep an eye on what's happening outside the cave. This probably comes from our background from the colony; for even though we are cuddly, social, playful, and safe, there are still things we are afraid of. We are both skeptical of new things and a lot of movement, and need time to understand that something is harmless. We can still become safer, but with a quiet place to retreat to, it goes fine. We are not so fond of being lifted, and since a lot happens when we are put in a carrier, this is naturally something we are not big fans of. But in return, we are only a bit dramatic, and do not claw or bite. If you are a bit tactical, you will get us into the carrier in 10 minutes. We also protest when we drive, but it goes fine. Everything is forgotten when we come out and feel safe again. Otherwise, we are good girls and do not claw on furniture as long as we have a scratching post available. Unfortunately, we do not know how we behave around potted plants.

Ariana og Aruna er to søte jenter som elsker kos, lek og hverandre. De leter etter et rolig hjem med eldre barn eller uten barn. De adopteres som innekatter, men med mulighet for å bli utekatter når de har blitt ordentlig trygge. De er begge antatt født i mai 2025. Hei, vi er Ariana og Aruna. Vi ser ut som søstre og oppfører oss som søstre, men kommer fra en stor koloni, så helt sikre kan vi ikke være. Men som to erter i en belg er vi garantert. Vi er begge helt opphengt i fuglelyder, og setter du på en fuglevideo er vi underholdt i flere timer. Vi er begge veldig kosete, og får én av oss kos kommer den andre også. Som regel ender det opp med at du koser med oss begge samtidig som vi koser hverandre. Vi trives begge i fanget ditt, men Aruna blir nok liggende lenger enn Ariana. Hvis du ligger i senga, bruker vi deg som seng, men om natten er det også Aruna som holder ut lengst med deg. Vi liker rutine, så hvis dere legger dere for sent, blir det et kor av protest-mjauing. Har vi fått lekt nok før leggetid, holder vi oss også rolige natten igjennom. At vi er unge merker dere når det er tid for lek. Vi leker med absolutt alle leker vi kan finne. Når vi er alene er det morsomst med lekemus, men hvis du leker med oss er fiskestang det beste. Jeg, Aruna, er litt mer forsiktig, mens Ariana ofte flyr veggimellom etter leken. Vi er sosiale og imøtekommende, men vi må bli ordentlig kjent med deg først. Derfor er vi heller ikke så glade i besøk, så vi gjemmer oss heller et rolig sted. Men vi er trygge og følger med på hva som skjer utenfor hulen. Dette kommer nok av bakgrunnen vår fra koloni; for selv om vi er kosete, sosiale, lekne og trygge, er det fortsatt ting vi er redde for. Vi er begge skeptiske til nye ting og mye bevegelse, og trenger tid for å skjønne at noe er ufarlig. Vi kan fortsatt bli tryggere, men med et rolig sted å trekke oss tilbake til går det helt fint. Vi er ikke så glade i å bli løftet, og siden det er mye som skjer når vi skal settes i transportbur, er dette naturligvis noe vi ikke er så store fans av. Men til gjengjeld er vi bare litt dramatiske, og klorer eller biter ikke. Er dere litt taktiske får dere oss inn i buret på 10 min. Vi protesterer også når vi kjører, men det går greit. Alt er glemt når vi kommer ut og føler oss trygge igjen. Ellers er vi flinke jenter og klorer for eksempel heller ikke på møbler så lenge vi har klorestativ tilgjengelig. Hvordan vi oppfører oss rundt potteplanter vet vi dessverre ikke.

About Ariana og Aruna

What life with Ariana og Aruna looks like

Ariana og Aruna is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dyrebeskyttelsen Oslo in Oslo.

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 Norway

Norwegian rescues require thorough background checks. Animals leave with a Nordic pet passport and full vetting. Norway is outside the EU so import rules differ slightly — TRACES applies.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ariana og Aruna, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ariana og Aruna?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dyrebeskyttelsen Oslo handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ariana og Aruna on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ariana og Aruna if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dyrebeskyttelsen Oslo 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 Ariana og Aruna 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 Ariana og Aruna 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 Dyrebeskyttelsen Oslo early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ariana og Aruna 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 (NO). 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.
