Kaia

Mixed Breed · Female

Kaia is a sweet, social, but also a bit cautious cat lady looking for a new home with good and safe outdoor opportunities, preferably on a farm or outside the city. She gets along well with older children. I have been to a few homes in my life, and in my previous home, I didn't like having a cat brother, so I started spending a lot of time outside. I also remembered my previous home at Carl Berner, so I often went there. Now I want a home with good and safe outdoor opportunities; preferably a good distance from Grünerløkka and Carl Berner. Life as a farm cat could be exciting? I'm also good at catching mice. It's probably an advantage if I get a GPS collar, so you always know where I am. I'm very affectionate, especially in the morning, and come to you with a clear message about what I want. Affection is best around the head, ears and on the neck/chin, but if you pet me somewhere I don't like very much, I just get up and move away. I don't lie on your lap much, but I might find a cuddle distance on the sofa, and I might also lie down in bed with you. I'm social and accommodating, and if you have a toy with you, I'm extra eager. I love to play, especially early in the morning and late in the evening. When we play together, I'm careful, so I don't bite or claw. I'm confident and fearless, so if you have visitors, I either come to say hello or relax further on the nice spot I've found, but I'm also a cautious lady, so if there's a lot of loud noise, I'll probably pull back a bit. I try to be a good girl, so even though I sometimes scratch furniture, I also choose a scratching post if you put it in a visible place. I'm easy to put in a carrier, but I'm not very fond of driving. Nevertheless, I'm really looking forward to the car ride home to my forever home. Is it with you?

Kaia er en kosete, sosial, men også litt forsiktig kattefrøken som ser etter et nytt hjem med gode og trygge utemuligheter, gjerne på gård eller utenfor byen. Hun går fint med eldre barn. Jeg har vært innom et par hjem i mitt liv, og i det forrige hjemmet mitt likte jeg ikke så godt at jeg fikk en kattebror, så jeg begynte å oppholde meg veldig mye ute. Jeg husket også det forrige hjemmet mitt ved Carl Berner, så jeg gikk ofte dit. Nå ønsker jeg meg et hjem der jeg har gode og trygge utemuligheter; helst et godt stykke unna Grünerløkka og Carl Berner. Livet som gårdskatt kunne kanskje vært spennende? Jeg er nemlig også flink til å fange mus. Det er nok en fordel om jeg får et GPS-halsbånd, så vet dere alltid hvor jeg er. Jeg er veldig kosete, spesielt om morgenen, og kommer bort til deg med klar beskjed om hva jeg ønsker. Kos er best rundt hodet, ørene og på halsen/haken, men hvis du koser meg et sted jeg ikke liker så godt, reiser jeg meg bare og trekker meg litt unna. Jeg ligger ikke så mye på fanget ditt, men kan finne på å legge meg innen koseavstand på sofaen, og kan også legge meg i senga sammen med deg. Jeg er sosial og imøtekommende, og hvis du har en leke med deg, er jeg ekstra ivrig. Jeg er veldig glad i å leke, spesielt tidlig på morgenen og sent på kvelden. Når vi leker sammen, er jeg forsiktig, så jeg biter eller klorer ikke. Jeg er trygg og uredd, så hvis dere får besøk, kommer jeg enten for å hilse på eller slapper av videre på den digge liggeplassen jeg har funnet, men jeg er også en forsiktig frøken, så hvis det blir mye høy lyd, trekker jeg meg nok litt tilbake. Jeg prøver jo å være flink jente, så selv om jeg av og til kan klore på møbler, velger jeg også klorestativ hvis dere setter det lett synlig. Jeg er lett å sette i transportbur, men er ikke så glad i å kjøre bil. Likevel ser jeg veldig frem til bilturen hjem til mitt for-alltid-hjem. Er det med deg?

About Kaia

What life with Kaia looks like

Kaia is a 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 Kaia, answered.

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