Skippy

Mixed Breed · Male

Skippy is a social and playful cat who wants a safe home with a family that is used to cats and no small children. He is a true hunter with a strong hunting instinct, and he prefers to be close to his humans on his own terms. He wants a home where he can be an outdoor cat. I am a friendly boy who has been waiting for my forever home for a long time. After many years out on my own, I was tired when I finally came in, but with good care, I am now healthy and ready for a new chapter. Lately, I have spent a lot of time at the window looking out. I like to watch the world, and as an outdoor cat before, I look forward to exploring my outdoor possibilities again. I really enjoy cuddling! I would love to sit in your lap and cuddle, and when I feel done, I will move on. I make it clear when I don't want more, so it's best to cuddle with me on my terms. I let myself be lifted and carried, like being brushed, and I would love to sleep in bed with you at night. Playing is a big part of who I am. I am a true hunter with a strong hunting instinct, and I love to run and play hide-and-seek. I play both with fishing rods and with toy mice alone. During playtime, I use my claws and teeth, because that's how I hunt. Therefore, I want a family of cat lovers who understand my language and signals.

Skippy er en sosial og leken kar som ønsker seg et trygt hjem hos en kattevant familie uten små barn. Han er en ekte jeger med stort jaktinnstinkt, og trives best når han får være nær menneskene sine på egne premisser. Han ønsker seg et hjem der han får være utekatt. Jeg er en omgjengelig gutt som har ventet lenge på mitt for‑alltid‑hjem. Etter mange år ute på egen hånd var jeg sliten da jeg endelig kom inn, men med god omsorg er jeg nå frisk og klar for et nytt kapittel. I det siste har jeg tilbrakt mye tid i vinduskarmen for å titte ut. Jeg liker å følge med på verden, og som tidligere utekatt gleder jeg meg til å få utforske utemulighetene mine igjen. Jeg setter stor pris på kos! Jeg kommer gjerne og setter meg i fanget for å kose, og når jeg føler meg ferdig, så går jeg videre. Jeg gir tydelig beskjed når jeg ikke vil ha mer, så det er best å kose med meg på mine premisser. Jeg lar meg løfte og bæres, liker å bli børstet og sover gjerne i sengen sammen med deg om natten. Lek er en stor del av hvem jeg er. Jeg er en ekte jeger med stort jaktinnstinkt, og jeg elsker å løpe og leke gjemsel. Jeg leker både med fiskestang og med lekemus alene. Under lek bruker jeg både klør og biter, for det er slik jeg jakter. Derfor ønsker jeg meg en kattevant familie som forstår mitt språk og mine signaler.

About Skippy

What life with Skippy looks like

Skippy is a large 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 Skippy, answered.

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