How do I contact the shelter about Bellatrix?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge Tromsø handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bellatrix on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Bellatrix if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge Tromsø 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 Bellatrix 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 Bellatrix 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 Norge Tromsø early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bellatrix 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.

Bellatrix

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

Bellatrix (f. 2016) Hunn | 9 years | Not suitable with children | Suitable with other animals Bellatrix is a modest but beautiful cat, with lots of personality. She loves the house cat Lauritz more than anything in the world, and when he is inside, she is where he is. Therefore, Bellatrix needs a forever home with a safe and social cat from before, who also likes other cats. Get to know Bellatrix better When the house cat is out, Bellatrix is with (foster) mom. She is used to mom being home during the day. When (foster) dad goes to work, there are big protests and great sadness. When he comes home, there is great joy, because then it's a little wet for. She misses mom all day, and likes to sit on the kitchen chair and watch when foster mom is cooking. When mom is washing, Bellatrix contributes by running super fast through the whole apartment. She doesn't understand human play, so she just sits and watches. Sometimes she plays a bit on her own, and a bit with the house cat. She likes to play hide-and-seek behind curtains, and is a little thief who can suddenly run away with different people. She requires very little from her humans, but has a clear and definite language, it is easy to understand what she wants. Training is difficult, but very good. The last months she has practiced more and more to lie (almost) in the trap, closer and closer each time. Training must happen on her terms, training on her back is (almost) outdated. It should be expected that she will be scared at first after moving into an adoption home. With time and patience, she will become a lovely part of the family. Animal Protection Norway Tromsø charges an adoption fee of 2000 kroner for all adult cats, which is less than half of what a private person would pay in veterinary costs for microchipping, vaccination and neutering of a cat. The package price at the veterinary clinics in Tromsø is about kr. 3000 for a male cat, while for a female cat you have to pay around kr. 3800. So you save a lot of money by getting a cat from Animal Protection! Those interested can contact to arrange an adoption visit.

Pusia Bellatrix (f. 2016) Hunn | 9 år | Passer ikke med barn | Passer med andre dyr Bellatrix er ei beskjeden men skjønn pusi, med MASSE personlighet. Hun elsker huspusen Lauritz over alt i verden, og når han er inne, så er hun der han er. Det er av den grunn Bellatrix må få et foralltidhjem med en trygg og sosial pus fra før, som også liker andre pusier. Bli bedre kjent med Bellatrix Når huspusen er ute, er Bellatrix sammen med (foster)mor. Hun er vant til at mor er hjemme om dagene. Når (foster)far drar på jobb, er det store protester og stor sorg. Når han kommer hjem er det stor jubel, for da vanker det litt våtfor. Hun dilter etter mor dagen lang, og liker å sitte på kjøkkenstolen og se på når fostermor lager mat. Når mor vasker, bidrar Bellatrix med å springe kjempefort gjennom hele leiligheten. Hun skjønner ikke dette med lek med mennesker, sitter da bare og ser på. Av og til leker hun litt på egenhånd, og litt med huspusen. Hun liker å leke gjemsel bak gardiner, og er en liten tyv som plutselig kan springe avgårde med forskjellige mennesketing. Hun krever svært lite av sine mennesker, men har et klart og tydelig språk, det er lett å forstå hva hun vil. Kos er vanskelig, men veldig godt. De siste mnd har hun øvet seg mer og mer på å ligge (nesten) i fanget, nærmere og nærmere for hver gang. Kos må skje på hennes premisser, kos på magen er (nesten) uaktuelt. Det må forventes at hun vil være redd i begynnelsen etter at hun har flyttet inn i adopsjonshjem. Med tid og tålmodighet vil hun bli en koselig del av familien. Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge Tromsø tar et adopsjonsgebyr på 2000 kroner for alle voksne katter, dette utgjør under halvparten av det en privatperson vil ha i veterinærutgifter til ID-merking, vaksinering og kastrering av en katt. Pakkeprisen hos veterinærklinikkene i Tromsø er for en hannkatt drøye kr. 3000, mens man for en hunnkatt må betale ca. kr. 3800. Man sparer altså mye penger på å få seg katt fra Dyrebeskyttelsen!

About Bellatrix

What life with Bellatrix looks like

Bellatrix is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge Tromsø in Tromsø.

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.
