Adopt PICAZZO

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

PICAZZO is a lovely long-haired male at 8.5 years old (born May-17). He has had a good life, but now needs to find a new family to cuddle with. This is what the previous owner wrote about him: PICAZZO is a cautious cat in the sense that he stays away when there are many visitors in the house. But he visits us in the family on the chair and sofa for cuddles. He curls up on the mat and purrs. He seems to understand when we need some cuddles too. It's so nice. He purrs loudly and loves to be scratched behind, in front and around the ears. All around the head, chest and between the front paws. He doesn't like to be petted too much on the back. But when we trim him in the spring with a clipper, he is calm and accepts it very well. There may be a lot of shedding during the winter in his long winter coat. He catches mice and stays near the house and garden. Comes to get food in the morning and likes to stay inside during the day when we are at work. He has a litter box with cat litter available. He is used to dogs, cockapoos, they lived together for two years. They played and ran after each other in the garden and could lie almost next to each other inside. PICAZZO was the boss and the one who set the limits. He has also been to a cat boarding 2-3 times during the summer. There he liked being outside and not so much in the cage. Received good feedback about him there. He is a simple cat to have in the family.

Picazzo er en nydelig langhåret herremann på 8,5 år (født mai-17). Han har hatt et godt liv, men må nå finne seg en ny familie å kose seg med. Dette skriver forrige eier om ham: Picazzo er en forsiktig katt i den forstand at han holder seg ute når det er store besøk i huset.Men oppsøker oss i fam. i stol og sofa for kos.Han krøller seg sammen på fanget og maler. Opplever at han forstår når vi trenger litt kos også. Det er så godt. Han maler høyt og elsker å bli klødd bak, foran og rundt ørene. Alt rundt hodet, bryst og mellom forbeina. Han liker ikke så godt å bli klappet for mye på bakkroppen.Men når vi klipper han om våren med maskin er han rolig og godtar det veldig godt. Det kan bli en del floker i løpet av vinteren i den lange vinterpelsen hans.Han fanger mus og holder seg nær huset og hagen. Kommer for å få mat om morgenen og sover gjerne inne om dagen når vi er på jobb. Da har han kasse med kattesand tilgjengelig.Han er vant med hund, cockapoo, de levde sammen i to år. De lekte og løp etter hverandre i Hagen og kunne ligge nesten inntil hverandre inne. Picazzo var sjefen og den som satt grenser.Han har også vært på kattepensjonat 2-3 ganger om sommeren. Der har han likt seg ute og ikke så godt i buret. Fått gode tilbakemeldinger på ham det. Han er en enkel katt å ha i familien.

About PICAZZO

What life with PICAZZO looks like

PICAZZO is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dyrebeskyttelsen Bergen in Bergen.

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.

Note from the shelter: Prefers not to be petted on hindquarters, needs regular grooming to prevent matting

🇳🇴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 PICAZZO, answered.

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