Helios

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

"Hi, my name is Helios. I'm an orange male cat around 2-3 years old looking for a loving forever home. I like cuddles, but I'm also a very cautious and submissive type. Therefore, I need a quiet home without children and other pets, at least in the beginning. I need space to figure out who I am without pressure and social rules from other cats. I was born in a cat colony that had gotten out of control, and we didn't get what we needed. I lived with many other cats, and fortunately, some kind people in the area gave me food. Unfortunately, I was probably bullied and was at the bottom of the hierarchy. I had to eat what was left at the end, so I've become quite a submissive and cautious type. The bad conditions caused me to have mouth inflammation and a lot of tartar when I came in, but this has now been taken care of with a good cleaning at the veterinarian. Now I'm in a foster home, but I haven't shown my whole personality yet. I still find new situations and noises a bit strange, and I need time to feel safe. Right now, I'm living with three very kind cats, but I mostly keep to myself in my room. I'm curious about the others and follow them when they're in the same room, but I don't quite have the courage to go over yet. My dream home is a place where I can start a bit alone, so I can build up security at my own pace. Maybe I can get a cat friend eventually, when I feel ready. For many cats from the start can make me more uncertain and invisible. I'm very good at using the litter box, and one thing is for sure: I love food. Wet food is absolutely fantastic - three cans at once is zero stress - and Churu or other liquid treats are pure happiness. Actually, I've loved all the treats I've tasted so far. As for cuddles, I have some favorite spots: scratching on the back, along the spine and under the chin is heavenly. When I'm finally safe, I'll be a proper cuddle cat who wants lots of attention and closeness. I also like heights! I jump high and want a home with climbing opportunities and places where I can sit high up and feel safe. I would thrive very well as an indoor cat, or in a cattery with good climbing opportunities. Maybe it's exactly you who can give me the security and love I need to become the dream cat I know I can be? 💕"

«Hei, jeg heter Helios. En oransje herremann på ca. 2-3 år, som nå leter etter et kjærlig for-alltid-hjem. Jeg liker kos, men er også en veldig forsiktig og underdanig type. Derfor trenger jeg et rolig hjem uten barn og andre dyr, hvertfall i begynnelsen. Jeg trenger rom til å finne ut av hvem jeg er uten press og sosiale regler fra andre katter. Jeg ble født i et kattehold som hadde gått over styring, og hvor vi ikke fikk noe av det vi trengte. Jeg levde sammen med mange andre katter, og det var heldigvis noen snille folk i området som ga meg mat. Dessverre ble jeg nok mobbet og var nederst i hierarkiet. Jeg måtte spise det som ble igjen til slutt, så jeg har blitt en ganske underdanig og forsiktig type. De dårlige forholdene gjorde at jeg hadde betennelse i munnen og mye tannstein da jeg kom inn, men dette er nå tatt hånd om med en god rens hos veterinæren. Nå bor jeg i fosterhjem, men jeg har ikke fått vist hele personligheten min enda. Jeg synes fortsatt nye situasjoner og lyder kan være litt skumle, og jeg trenger tid for å føle meg trygg. Akkurat nå bor jeg sammen med tre veldig snille katter, men jeg holder meg mest for meg selv på rommet mitt. Jeg er nysgjerrig på de andre og følger med når de er i samme rom, men jeg har ikke helt turt å gå bort ennå. Drømmehjemmet mitt er et sted der jeg får starte litt alene, slik at jeg kan bygge trygghet i mitt eget tempo. Kanskje kan jeg få en kattevenn etter hvert, når jeg føler meg klar. For mange katter fra start kan gjøre meg mer usikker og usynlig. Jeg er veldig flink til å bruke dokassen, og én ting er helt sikkert: jeg elsker mat. Våtfor er helt fantastisk – tre poser på én gang er null stress – og Churu eller annen flytende godis er ren lykke. Egentlig har jeg elsket alt av godteri jeg har fått smake så langt. Når det gjelder kos, så har jeg noen favorittsteder: kløing på baken, langs ryggen og under haka er helt himmelsk. Når jeg først blir trygg, kommer jeg til å være en skikkelig kosekatt som vil ha masse oppmerksomhet og nærhet. Jeg liker også høyder! Jeg hopper høyt og ønsker meg et hjem med klatremuligheter og steder jeg kan sitte høyt oppe og føle meg trygg. Jeg vil trives veldig godt som innekatt, eller i en kattegård med gode klatremuligheter. Kanskje er det akkurat du som kan gi meg tryggheten og kjærligheten jeg trenger for å bli den drømmekatten jeg vet jeg kan være? 💕» – Forsiktig hilsen fra Helios Helios er kastrert, ID-merket med chip, vaksinert og har fått en full helsesjekk samt ormekur.

About Helios

What life with Helios looks like

Helios is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Hjerte for Hjemløse Katter in Trollåsen.

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 Helios, answered.

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