How do I contact the shelter about Nova?

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 Nova on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nova 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 Nova 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 Nova 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 Nova 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.

Nova

Mixed Breed · Female

Nova is a beautiful lady who loves to curl up on your lap or in your closet. She is very playful and affectionate and would love to snuggle in bed before bedtime. She is looking for a home with safe outdoor opportunities and would prefer to be the only cat in the home. I am a confident and kind cat who likes to explore and get comfortable, at least after I've warmed up. I love cuddles and can't get enough of being on someone's lap - the more the better! In the evening, I like to jump up into bed for belly rubs before bedtime, but I prefer to sleep in another room. The door can stay open so I can come and go as I please during the night. I also like to watch birds and life outside the window, and to curl up in drawers and on shelves in the closet. I love to play and am most interested in toys that hang on a string. Active play is the most fun, so please join me in the game, but don't be too rough! I am gentle and don't bite during play, but I'll let you know when I've had enough. When we have visitors, I hide under the sofa first, before coming out to greet everyone when I feel comfortable. I can get a little startled by loud noises and don't like vacuum cleaners or hair dryers. I can hide from noisy machines, but I don't stay hidden for long and come out quickly. I have clawed at the carpet and the side of the sofa before, but it's easy to stop by putting a rug over the sofa and reminding me of the scratching post. I love plants, especially when I'm hungry, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on them.

Nova er en helt skjønn frøken som elsker å ligge på fanget eller i klesskapet ditt. Hun er veldig leken og kosete og vil gjerne ligge i sengen før leggetid. Hun ønsker seg et hjem med gode og trygge utemuligheter, og vil helst være eneste katt i hjemmet. Jeg er en selvsikker og snill pus som sprader rundt og tar meg til rette, i alle fall etter jeg har blitt husvarm. Jeg er veldig glad i kos og kan ikke få nok av å ligge på fanget: jo mer jo bedre! På kvelden hopper jeg gjerne opp i sengen for magekos før leggetid, men liker best å legge meg på et annet rom for å sove. Døren kan gjerne stå oppe da, slik at jeg kan komme og gå som jeg selv ønsker i løpet av natten. Jeg liker også å følge med på fugler og livet utenfor vinduet, og å ligge i skuffer og på hyller i klesskapet. Jeg er veldig glad i å leke og er mest interessert i leker som henger på tråd. Aktiv lek er mest moro, så bli gjerne med meg på leken, men ikke vær for voldsom! Jeg er forsiktig og biter ikke under lek, men sier ifra når jeg får nok. Når vi får besøk, så gjemmer jeg meg først under sofaen, før jeg kommer fram og hilser på alle når jeg blir komfortabel med det. Jeg kan skvette litt av høye lyder og liker ikke støvsuger eller hårføner. Jeg kan fort finne på å gjemme meg for bråkete maskiner, men jeg blir ikke langvarig påvirket og kommer raskt fram igjen. Jeg har kloret litt på gulvtepper og på siden av sofaen før, men det er lett å stoppe ved å legge et teppe over sofaen og minne meg på klorepinnen. Jeg er veldig glad i planter, spesielt når jeg er sulten, så det er greit å passe på at jeg ikke spiser dem.

About Nova

What life with Nova looks like

Nova 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.
