Mats

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

Mats is approximately 7 months old. He came to us along with several other cats from the Food Safety Authority. He was not socialized and was afraid. Now he is much more trusting and ready for a patient home. He is neutered, chipped and vaccinated. Please come and meet Mats.

Mats er ca 7 mnd gammel. Han kom inn til oss sammen med en del andre katter fra Mattilsynet. Han var ikke sosialisert og han var redd. Nå er han langt mer tillitsfull og klar for et tålmodig hjem. Han er kastrert, chippet og vaksinert. Kom gjerne og hils på Mats.

About Mats

What life with Mats looks like

Mats is a 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 Mats, answered.

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