Astrid

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Astrid er ei nydelig litt forsiktig frøken som har fått fødselsdato 12. 5. 2025. Hun kom inn til en annen forening med ett kull småtroll. Da de hadde veldig fullt, kom lille Astrid til oss da barna var store og flyttet i egne hjem. Astrid er ei skikkelig kosejente, men samtidig litt sjenert innimellom. Hun liker ikke bli tatt bilder av, noe som gjenspeiler seg i de få vi har fått tatt av henne. Hun vil nok trives godt med andre katter, og kanskje i ett litt rolig hjem med n\mye omsorg og kjærlighet.

About Astrid

What life with Astrid looks like

Astrid is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dyrenes Hjelper in Arendal.

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 Astrid, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Astrid?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dyrenes Hjelper handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Astrid on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Astrid if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dyrenes Hjelper 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 Astrid 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 Astrid 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 Dyrenes Hjelper early rather than rehoming privately; they know Astrid 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.
