Potepus

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Potepus har nok vært ute mang en vinternatt før han kom inn til oss. Heldigvis kom han til noen som så at han trengte hjelp , og de leverte han til oss. Alle hans hjørnetenner var brukket langt ned, og det var ingen tvil om at han gikk med store smerter. Tennene er fikset og Potepus har fått ett helt annet utrykk i de slitne øynene sine. Han har begynt å stole på oss mennesker , og kommer gjerne for litt kos og pelsstell. Han er en vennlig katt. Potepus vil nok trives best i ett hjem med rolige tobente, men kan gjerne bo med en annen katt eller tre. Vi er usikre på Potepus sin alder, men han har fått bursdag 3. 6. 2019. Han er kastrert,chippet og vaksinert.

About Potepus

What life with Potepus looks like

Potepus is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dyrenes Hjelper in Arendal.

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 Potepus, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Potepus?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dyrenes Hjelper handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Potepus on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Potepus if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dyrenes Hjelper 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Potepus 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 Potepus 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 Dyrenes Hjelper early rather than rehoming privately; they know Potepus 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.
