Mateo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Hello, we have a beautiful 6-year-old male cat that we need to rehome due to moving to an apartment. His name is Mateo, but he also responds to Pys. He is neutered and affectionate (not on the stomach). He has lived with a family of three, ages 7, teenager, and adult. Special handsome cat, with only 5-8 cm tail because of a bite when he was about 1 year old (manages very well regarding balance). He is clean, goes to the door when he wants to go out. It is with great sorrow that we need to rehome him, hoping that you/you are kind people who can love and take care of Pys.

About Mateo

What life with Mateo looks like

Mateo is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dyrebeskyttelsen Kristiansand in Norway.

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 Mateo, answered.

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