Pixel

Mixed Breed · Female

Pixel is a playful and affectionate lady. She enjoys watching life outside the window and wants a quiet and cat-friendly home with good outdoor opportunities she can test out as she gets more comfortable. I have lived in foster care for the past three years and am now ready to find my quiet and patient forever home with someone who is used to cats. I am affectionate and playful when I warm up, but take some time at first to become comfortable with you. I can also be skeptical of new people. I don't like loud noises and hide until I feel safe again. But when I feel safe, I like to play with feathers and yarn. I also love being brushed and gently rub against the brush when I want some brushing. I am also fond of treats. I would like to be carried and enjoy being petted by you, but not on my belly, it is so sensitive that I would rather have it to myself. I can also lie with you on the couch or in bed. I have been an indoor cat my whole life, but I want to try life as an outdoor cat as I become more comfortable. It looks so fun outside, and I enjoy the cat-friendly porch in my foster family. I also spend a lot of time watching birds in the window. I try to talk to them, but I don't think they understand what I'm saying. My claws grow quickly and need to be trimmed regularly. It's not the most fun thing I know, but it usually goes well.

Pixel er en leken og kosete frøken. Hun liker å titte på livet utenfor vinduet og ønsker seg et rolig og kattevant hjem med gode utemuligheter hun kan teste ut etter hvert. Jeg har bodd i fosterhjem de siste tre årene og er nå klar for å finne mitt rolige og tålmodige for-alltid-hjem hos noen som er vant med katter. Jeg er kosete og leken når jeg blir varm i trøya, men bruker litt tid i starten på å bli trygg på deg. Jeg kan også være skeptisk til andre nye mennesker. Jeg liker heller ikke høye lyder og gjemmer meg til jeg mener det er trygt igjen. Men når jeg føler meg trygg, vil jeg gjerne leke med både fjær og garn. Jeg elsker også å bli børstet og dulter vennlig borti børsten når jeg vil ha litt børstekos. Jeg er også svak for godbiter. Jeg kan gjerne bli båret og liker at du koser med meg, men ikke på magen, den er så følsom at jeg helst vil ha den for meg selv. Jeg kan også godt ligge sammen med deg i sofaen eller i sengen. Jeg har vært innekatt hele livet mitt, men har lyst å teste livet som utekatt etter hvert som jeg blir trygg. Det ser så gøy ut der ute, og jeg liker meg godt på den kattevennnlige verandaen i fosterfamilien min. Jeg bruker også mye tid på å titte på fugler i vinduet. Jeg prøver også å prate med dem, men jeg tror ikke de skjønner hva jeg sier. Klørne mine vokser fort og må klippes regelmessig. Det er ikke det gøyeste jeg vet, men det går som regel fint.

About Pixel

What life with Pixel looks like

Pixel 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 Pixel, answered.

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