Sarita

Mixed Breed Β· Female

We don't know what you've been through, but you can't have had many good experiences when you came to us. The tiny, lovely heart-shaped scar on your nose is a small sign of that. And despite this, you are such a lovely, gentle and cautious little lady. Sarita came to us together with several cats from a colony. She was very anxious and avoided all contact with people. She just lay in a safe hiding place and turned away when we tried to make contact. She has never shown aggressive behavior, only fear. She is now in a foster home with 5 other cats and gets along fine with all of them. She shows her playful side both with the 2-legged and 4-legged members of the household. Sarita allows cuddles, but can become uncomfortable and then lies down completely flat or withdraws. She loves treats and licking well. She needs a home that is willing to give her time and space to keep blossoming. She can live well with other gentle cats and older children.

Ikke vet vi hva du har opplevd, men det kan ikke ha vΓ¦rt mye gode erfaringer du hadde med deg nΓ₯r du kom til oss. Det lille nydelige hjerte arret du har pΓ₯ nesen er et lite tegn pΓ₯ det. Og tross dette er du ei sΓ₯ nydelig, mild og forsiktig lita frΓΈken. Sarita kom inn til oss sammen med flere katter fra en koloni. Hun var veldig engstelig og unngikk all kontakt med mennesker. LΓ₯ bare pΓ₯ et trygt gjemmested og snudde seg bort ved vΓ₯re forsΓΈk pΓ₯ kontakt. Hun har aldri vist aggressiv adferd, kun frykt. Hun er nΓ₯ i fosterhjem sammen med 5 andre katter og gΓ₯r fint sammen med alle. Hun viser sin lekne side bΓ₯de med de 2 og 4 beinet i hjemmet. Sarita tillater kos,men kan bli ukomfortabel og legger seg da helt flatt eller trekker seg unna. Hun elsker godbiter og slikke godt. Hun trenger et hjem som er villig til Γ₯ gi henne tid og rom til Γ₯ blomstre videre. Hun kan godt bo med andre snille katter og store barn.

About Sarita

What life with Sarita looks like

Sarita 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 β€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

πŸ‡³πŸ‡΄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 β€” TRACES applies.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sarita, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sarita?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dyrenes Hjelper handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sarita on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sarita if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” 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 Sarita 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Sarita isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dyrenes Hjelper early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sarita 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 β€” 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.
