Silke og Kashmir

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

Silke og Kashmir are lovely seniors who are closely bonded and now looking for their forever home together. They are a bit cautious at first, but it doesn't last long. Once they feel safe, there are almost no limits to how affectionate they are. They love closeness and calm. They like to lie close to you on the couch or in bed, and although they don't prefer the top of the bed, they can sometimes lie on top of you while you sleep. Mornings can start with two soft faces gently pushing against your hands or head to say good morning. Rubbing behind the ears and on the belly is highly appreciated, and Kashmir often rolls over to show his belly when he feels safe. They are not used to being picked up, and they can get a little confused and wriggle free. They never use claws or teeth to protect themselves, and gentle lifting is perfectly fine. They are also easy to handle and like to be comforted. Visitors are handled calmly and at their own pace, and once they feel safe, affection from everyone is welcome. Silke og Kashmir are calm and relaxed cats that thrive best with quiet days. They spend a lot of time together, close to each other on the couch, either sleeping or grooming each other. At the same time, they can become curious and engaged when their favorite toy appears, and they also like to watch interactive cat TV. They have met a small child, and it went well, so calm and considerate children can work. Relationships with dogs are uncertain. As indoor cats, they still have a bit to learn about scratching and interest in plants. They need more good scratching options so the couch can be left in peace. With clear boundaries and good routines, this has already improved in the foster home, and it is expected to continue in the new home.

Silke og Kashmir er to nydelige seniorer som er tett knyttet og som nå ser etter sitt for-alltid-hjem sammen. De er litt forsiktige i starten, men det varer sjelden lenge. Når de først har blitt trygge, finnes det nesten ingen grenser for hvor kosete de er. De elsker nærhet og ro. De legger seg gjerne tett inntil deg i sofaen eller i sengen, og selv om fang ikke er deres favorittplass, kan de finne på å ligge oppå deg mens du sover. Morgenene kan starte med to myke ansikter som forsiktig dytter borti hendene eller hodet ditt for å si god morgen. Kos bak ørene og på magen er høyt verdsatt, og Kashmir ruller gjerne rundt og viser magen når han føler seg trygg. Å bli løftet er de ikke så vant med, og de kan bli litt forvirret og vri seg løs. De bruker aldri klør eller tenner for å beskytte seg, og korte løft går helt fint. De er også enkle å stelle og liker å bli gredd. Besøk håndteres rolig og i eget tempo, og når de først har blitt trygge, er kos fra alle like velkommen. Silke og Kashmir er rolige og avslappede katter som trives best med stillferdige dager. De tilbringer mye tid sammen, tett inntil hverandre i sofaen, enten sovende eller mens de vasker hverandre. Samtidig kan de bli nysgjerrige og engasjerte når favorittleken dukker opp, og de liker også å følge med på interaktiv katte-tv. De har møtt et lite barn, og det gikk fint, så rolige og hensynsfulle barn kan fungere. Forhold til hund er uvisst. Som innekatter har de fortsatt litt å lære når det gjelder kloring og interesse for planter. De trenger flere gode kloremuligheter slik at sofaen får være i fred. Med tydelige rammer og gode rutiner har dette allerede blitt bedre i fosterhjem, og det forventes å fortsette i nytt hjem.

About Silke og Kashmir

What life with Silke og Kashmir looks like

Silke og Kashmir is a medium-sized 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.

Note from the shelter: Bonded pair - must be adopted together. Need scratching posts and plant-free environment.

🇳🇴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 Silke og Kashmir, answered.

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