Adopt Gracie

Mixed Breed · Female

Gracie is a cute, playful and funny cat looking for a forever home with adults who understand boundaries and have time and knowledge to meet her where she is now. She is adopted as an indoor cat. I am a cat with lots of personality who is very fun to have around, and I love to follow everything that happens. Do you have a high cabinet or a shelf? Then I will certainly find my way to the top to peek over my little kingdom. If I feel I am getting too little attention, I sit right in front of the TV - there I am at least impossible to overlook! I am very fond of cuddling, actually so fond that I start purring when it's really nice! But it is important that this happens on my terms. I meet you at the door when you come home, and since I am quite talkative, you'll probably get a little daily report along with it. My foster home says that I "cuddle more with you than you with me"; if you hold out your hand, I rub exactly where I want it. Cuddling is best on the floor. I don't lie on the bed, but I'll keep you company on the sofa. In the evening I often jump on your chest in bed for some evening cuddles, I also like to run rounds on your duvet at night, so you have to tolerate a bit of nighttime activity! I LOVE to play! Things that make noise, bells, yarn and feathers are favorites. I also think it's incredibly fun to "hunt" your legs, especially if you have pants with a lot of frills. I don't use claws or teeth when I play with your legs, but I can get a bit eager if you hold a toy I want to grab in your hand. It is important that my new people understand my body language and respect my boundaries.

Gracie er en kosete, leken og morsom katt som ser etter et for-alltid-hjem hos voksne som skjønner grenser og har tid og kunnskap til å møte henne der hun er nå. Hun adopteres som innekatt. Jeg er en katt med masse personlighet som er veldig morsom å ha i hus, og jeg elsker å følge med på alt som skjer. Har du et høyt skap eller en hylle? Da finner jeg garantert veien opp til toppen for å speide utover mitt lille kongerike. Hvis jeg føler jeg får for lite oppmerksomhet, setter jeg meg rett foran TV-en – der er jeg i alle fall umulig å overse! Jeg er veldig glad i kos, faktisk så glad i det at jeg begynner å sikle når det er skikkelig deilig! Men det er viktig at det skjer på mine premisser. Jeg møter deg i døra når du kommer hjem, og siden jeg er ganske verbal, får du gjerne en liten dagsberetning med på kjøpet. Fosterhjemmet mitt sier at jeg «koser mer med deg enn du med meg»; hvis du holder frem en hånd, gnir jeg meg akkurat der jeg vil ha det. Kos er aller best på gulvet. Jeg legger meg ikke på fanget, men jeg holder deg gjerne med selskap i sofaen. Om kvelden hopper jeg ofte opp på brystet ditt i sengen for å få litt kveldskos, jeg liker også å løpe runder oppå dyna di om natten, så du må tåle litt nattlig aktivitet! Jeg ELSKER å leke! Ting som lager lyd, bjeller, garn og fjær er favorittene. Jeg synes også det er utrolig gøy å «jakte» på beina dine, spesielt hvis du har bukser med mye sleng. Jeg bruker ikke klør eller tenner når jeg leker med beina dine, men jeg kan bli litt ivrig hvis du holder en leke jeg vil ha tak i i hånden. Det er viktig at mine nye mennesker forstår kroppsspråket mitt og respekterer grensene mine.

About Gracie

What life with Gracie looks like

Gracie is a small 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.

Note from the shelter: Indoor-only cat, needs owners who understand boundaries and cat body language

🇳🇴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 Gracie, answered.

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