Adopt Gaute

Mixed Breed · Male

Gaute is a social and affectionate cat who wants to be where you are. He was born in 2014 but is healthy and lively. Gaute was found outdoors, and it’s unknown how he ended up homeless after being rehomed as a kitten. Gaute is adopted as an outdoor cat and needs access to good and safe outdoor areas. My name is Gaute and I am a social cat looking for my forever home. If you want a lap cat and a social cat who seeks out people, I am the cat for you. I need good and safe outdoor areas to explore. When I came to the animal welfare organization, I was emaciated and energetic, but I have now eaten my way back to health and want to move to my forever home for more cosseting. I love being around my family, and if you move, I will run quickly hoping there is food on the go. Sometimes I make a bit of a strange noise, especially if there is actually food to be had, but it just means I am content. I love to be petted and would rather be petted all the time. I like to lie on you and beside you. I thrive best in your lap, in your neck, in your armpit, or just right next to you. I love to be lifted and held, and you will have to carry me around while you pet me. It’s a big plus if you also want to play, for I love to play and would love to play with you, especially if I get to run after a toy fishing rod. Since I am so happy to be cosseted and played with, I am not so happy with screens because it takes the focus away from me. Therefore, I would love to join your Teams meetings so I can be involved in what you are doing.

Gaute er en sosial og kosete katt som ønsker å være der du er. Han er født i 2014, men er frisk og rask. Gaute ble funnet ute, og det er uvisst hvordan han endte opp som hjemløs etter at han sist ble omplassert som kattunge. Gaute adopteres som utekatt og trenger tilgang på gode og trygge uteområder. Jeg heter Gaute og er en sosial katt som er på leting etter mitt for-alltid-hjem. Om du ønsker deg en kosete og sosial katt som oppsøker mennesker, er jeg katten for deg. Jeg trenger gode og trygge uteområder jeg kan boltre meg på. Da jeg kom til Dyrebeskyttelsen, var jeg avmagret og sliten, men jeg har nå spist meg tilbake og ønsker å flytte til mitt for-alltid-hjem for mer kos. Jeg elsker å være rundt familien min, og om du reiser deg, kommer jeg raskt løpende i håp om at det er mat på gang. Det hender jeg lager litt merkelige lyder, spesielt om det faktisk er mat å få, men det betyr bare at jeg er fornøyd. Jeg elsker å kose og vil helst kose hele tiden. Jeg ligger gjerne både på deg og ved siden av deg. Jeg trives best på fanget, i halsen, i armkroken eller bare helt inntil siden din. Jeg elsker å bli løftet og holdt, og du må gjerne bære meg rundt mens du koser meg. Det er en stor fordel om du også ønsker å leke, for jeg elsker å leke og vil gjerne leke sammen med deg, spesielt om jeg får løpe etter en lekefiskestang. Siden jeg er så glad i kos og lek, er jeg ikke så glad i skjerm. Det er ukult fordi det tar bort fokuset fra meg. Jeg blir derfor gjerne med på Teams-møtene dine sånn at jeg kan være involvert i det du gjør.

About Gaute

What life with Gaute looks like

Gaute is a large 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 Gaute, answered.

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