Gusto

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Gusto is a calm and balanced boy who wants a safe forever home. He needs good outdoor areas to explore. Gender: Older, understanding boundaries. Can live with a cat? I love cuddling! It's the best I know. I like to lie on your lap and get as close to your face as I can. When you sit on the couch, I know it's my time to visit and I come as fast as I can. I get extra happy when you cuddle me around my mouth and under my chin. My belly is a private area, and I don't like being petted when I'm alone. At night, I like to sleep with you and share a pillow. Even though I love cuddling, I also like to have my own space to retreat to. Today, my foster mom made my own little corner in the closet, and I love it. I'm mostly calm, but can be a bit shy. You can have visitors, but I expect them to have me on their lap. What I find scary is the vacuum cleaner. I usually hide when you vacuum, but other noises like the blender and TV are fine. I'm starting to get restless from being inside and biting out of frustration. I long to explore the world outside. My dream home has good outdoor areas, gives me cuddles when I'm on your lap, and understands when I want to be alone. If you have children, they need to understand these boundaries. Gusto is spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. We have an adoption fee of 3000 NOK. Can you give Gusto a good home with good outdoor areas, cuddles, and playtime? Contact us at If Gusto isn't the right cat for you, maybe one of our other cats is? We have indoor and outdoor cats. You can read about them here:

Gusto er en kosete og avbalansert fyr som ønsker seg et trygt for-alltid-hjem. Han trenger gode uteområder han kan utforske. Kjønn Litt eldre som forstår grenser Bo med katt? Jeg elsker kos! Det er det beste jeg vet. Jeg vil gjerne ligge på fanget ditt og så nært ansiktet ditt jeg bare klarer. Legger du deg på sofaen, kjenner jeg min besøkelsestid og kommer så fort jeg bare kan. Jeg blir ekstra glad når du koser meg rundt munnen og under haken. Magen min vil jeg gjerne ha i fred, og jeg vil helst ikke bli kost på når jeg ligger for meg selv. Om natta blir jeg glad om jeg får ligge sammen med deg og deler gjerne pute med deg. Selv om jeg er glad i kos, liker jeg også å ha mitt eget sted jeg kan trekke meg tilbake. I dag har fostermor laget min egen lille krok i klesskapet, og her trives jeg godt. Jeg er stort sett trygg, men kan være litt tilbakeholden. Du kan gjerne ha besøk, men da forventer jeg at de har plass til meg på fanget sitt. Det jeg syns er skummelt, er støvsugeren. Jeg gjemmer meg stort sett når du støvsuger, men andre lyder fra blenderen og TV-en går helt fint. Jeg har begynt å bli rastløs av å bare være inne og biter litt i frustrasjon. Jeg lengter etter å utforske verden der ute. Mitt nye drømmehjem har gode uteområder, gir meg kos når jeg ligger på fanget og skjønner når jeg vil være for meg selv. Har du barn, må de forstå disse grensene. Gusto er kastrert, chippet og vaksinert. Vi tar et adopsjonsgebyr på 3000,- Kan du gi Gusto et godt hjem med gode utemuligheter, kos og lek? Ta kontakt på Hvis ikke Gusto er riktig katt for deg, er kanskje noen av våre andre katter det? Vi har inne- og utekatter. Disse kan du lese om her:

About Gusto

What life with Gusto looks like

Gusto is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at DYREBESKYTTELSEN NORGE OSLO OG AKERSHUS 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 Gusto, answered.

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