Fabian

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Fabian is a dream partner for you if you're looking for a faithful, affectionate, and calm companion. He is looking for a quiet and predictable home without small children or other animals, where he can flourish at his own pace. Fabian is assumed to have been born in 2024. Hello! My name is Fabian, and I'm a real lover of life who loves being close to my human. If you sit down on the sofa, you can count on me being there in a flash to take over the spot on your lap or your chest. I love resting my face on your arm while you stroke me under the chin or on the cheeks - then my purring motor starts immediately! I also get super happy when you talk to me, and I gladly respond with a nice meow when you come home from work. I am a proper cuddle pig who likes to jump up and rub my body against your legs the moment you stand up. I value a good cuddle time in bed before the workday starts, and I love lying close to your face to rub my head against you. When you are sitting, I like to lie on your lap and prefer to have an arm to put my paws and face on. If you are lying down, I like to lie on your chest and spread out flat. I can even come up with jumping onto your lap when you are sitting on the toilet! Although I am super affectionate, I am also an independent soul that needs some time for myself, and I highly value having a dark hideout in peace when I want to sleep during the day. When it comes to play, fishing rods with feathers are the thing, and the "Pawise telescopic rod with string and feather" is the absolute favorite that I get completely excited about. I like to play in intervals of 10-20 minutes before I want to go back to the sofa for more cuddles. I never use claws or bite people during play, but I am quite enthusiastic about my games and like to run a bit back and forth. I used to be a little fond of scratching the sofa, but after I got my second claw rest, I lost interest in the furniture. I am a cautious and a bit shy soul that needs a quiet home with few impressions. I find the doorbell weird, and when guests come, I hide at first. It is important that I am allowed to come forward and greet the visitor at my own pace before they try to greet me. If the guests avoid sudden movements and let me come over for a calm sniff around first, it won't take long before I am myself again and want some cuddles. I also think the vacuum cleaner is pretty weird. Therefore, I prefer a home without dogs or small children, but older children over 12 years old who respect my boundaries can be fine.

Fabian er en drømmepartner for deg som leter etter en trofast, kosete og rolig bestevenn. Han ser etter et rolig og forutsigbart hjem uten små barn eller andre dyr, hvor han kan få blomstre i sitt eget tempo. Fabian er antatt født i 2024. Hei på deg! Mitt navn er Fabian, og jeg er en skikkelig livsnyter som elsker å være nær mennesket mitt. Hvis du setter deg ned i sofaen, kan du banne på at jeg er der med én gang for å kapre plassen på fanget eller brystet ditt. Jeg elsker å hvile ansiktet mitt på armen din mens du koser meg under haken eller på kinnene – da starter malemotoren min umiddelbart! Jeg blir også kjempeglad når du prater til meg, og jeg svarer gjerne med et hyggelig mjau når du kommer hjem fra jobb. Jeg er en ordentlig kosegris som gjerne spretter opp og gnir meg inntil beina dine med én gang du reiser deg. Jeg setter stor pris på en god kosestund i senga før arbeidsdagen starter, og jeg elsker å ligge tett opptil ansiktet ditt for å gni hodet mitt mot deg. Når du sitter, legger jeg meg gjerne på fanget ditt og vil helst ha en arm å legge potene og ansiktet mitt oppå. Ligger du, så legger jeg meg gjerne oppå brystet ditt og sprer meg langflat ut. Jeg kan til og med finne på å hoppe opp på fanget ditt når du sitter på do! Selv om jeg er kjempekosete, er jeg også en selvstendig sjel som trenger litt tid for seg selv, og jeg setter stor pris på å få ha et mørkt gjemmested i fred når jeg skal sove i løpet av dagen. Når det kommer til lek, er det fiskestenger med fjær som gjelder, og «Pawise teleskopstang med snøre og fjær» er den absolutte favoritten som jeg blir helt gæren etter. Jeg liker å leke i intervaller på 10–20 minutter før jeg vil tilbake til sofaen for mer kos. Jeg bruker aldri klør eller biter på mennesker under lek, men jeg er ganske ivrig med lekene mine og liker å løpe litt frem og tilbake. Jeg har tidligere vært litt glad i å klore på sofaen, men etter at jeg fikk mitt andre klorestativ, har jeg mistet interessen for møblene. Jeg er en forsiktig og litt skvetten sjel som trenger et rolig hjem med få inntrykk. Jeg synes ringeklokka er skummel, og når det kommer gjester, gjemmer jeg meg i starten. Det er viktig at jeg får lov til å komme frem og hilse på besøket i mitt eget tempo før de prøver å hilse på meg. Hvis gjestene unngår brå bevegelser og lar meg komme bort for en rolig snuserunde først, tar det ikke lang tid før jeg er meg selv igjen og vil ha kos. Jeg synes også at støvsugeren er ordentlig skummel. Jeg foretrekker derfor et hjem uten hunder eller små barn, men store barn over 12 år som respekterer mine grenser kan gå fint.

About Fabian

What life with Fabian looks like

Fabian is a large senior mixed breed cat waiting at Dyrebeskyttelsen Oslo in Oslo.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

Note from the shelter: Needs quiet, predictable home without small children or other animals

🇳🇴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 Fabian, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Fabian?
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 Fabian on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Fabian 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 Fabian 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 Fabian 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 Fabian 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.
