Snurre

Domestic Shorthair · Male · 4 years

Snurre is a loving, playful, and affectionate gentleman looking for a home with someone with or without older children. He is best suited for a home without dogs or cats. I am a loving and a little clumsy, mature boy in my prime age who is now looking for my forever home. During the day, I like to find a quiet place for a long nap. But when you come home from work, I'm ready for a cuddle or play session. I am safe and social with those I know, but a bit cautious with strangers. I like to sit in your lap, sleep in your bed at night, and crawl all the way up to your face if you're lying on the sofa, because closeness to people is the best thing I know. However, I am more of a "cuddle-up" than a "carry-around" type guy. I love to play, but I prefer to knock toys across the floor and then chase them, rather than the classic fetch game. I am not particularly good at retrieving during play, as I sometimes get excited and consider your hand as a substitute. I am a relatively well-behaved boy, and I am good at using the litter box, but I have also tested the couch a few times. After all, it's important to quality test the furniture. Food is also very exciting, and I do my best to investigate both food boxes and trash cans if given the chance. A little curious joy of life is needed. A door is also an acceptable obstacle for me, if I'm curious about what's behind it. I am quite a calm and social cat, but when you have visitors, I am a bit shy at first, but after a while I come out to greet them. In general, I am very calm and friendly with the people I know. I avoid high noises if possible, so it's nice if you stay away from the vacuuming when I'm out exploring the garden or neighborhood, or on another end of the house.

Snurre er en kjærlig, leken og kosete herremann som ser etter et hjem hos noen med eller uten eldre barn. Han passer best i et hjem uten hund eller katt. Jeg er en kjærlig og litt rampete, moden gutt i min beste alder som nå ser etter mitt for-alltid-hjem. På dagtid finner jeg meg gjerne et stille sted for en lang lur. Men når du kommer hjem fra jobb, er jeg klar for en kose- eller lekeøkt. Jeg er trygg og sosial med dem jeg kjenner, men litt forsiktig med fremmede. Jeg ligger gjerne i fanget ditt, sover i sengen din om natten og kryper helt opp til ansiktet ditt hvis du ligger på sofaen, for nærhet til menneskene mine er det beste jeg vet. Jeg er imidlertid mer en «kose-inntil« enn en «bli-båret»-type fyr. Jeg er veldig glad i å leke, men liker bedre å slå leker bortover gulvet for så å jage dem, enn den klassiske fiskestangleken. Jeg er ikke særlig til regelrytter under lek, for det hender jeg blir ivrig og utnevner hånden din som bytte. Jeg er en relativt snill gutt, og jeg er flink til å bruke klorestativet, men jeg har også testet sofaen et par ganger. Det er tross alt viktig å kvalitetssikre møblene. Mat er også veldig spennende, og jeg gjør mitt beste for å undersøke både matbokser og søppelbøtter hvis jeg får sjansen. Litt nysgjerrig livsglede må man ha. En dør er også et overkommelig hinder for meg, hvis jeg lurer på hva som finnes bak den. Jeg er ganske trygg og sosial katt, men får du besøk, er jeg litt sjenert i starten, men etter en stund kommer jeg frem for å hilse. Generelt sett er jeg veldig trygg og imøtekommende med de menneskene jeg kjenner. Høye lyder unngår jeg hvis jeg kan, så det er fint hvis du gjør unna støvsugingen når jeg er ute på tokt i hagen eller nabolaget, eller i en annen ende av boligen.

About Snurre

What life with Snurre looks like

Snurre is a medium-sized adult domestic shorthair 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: Prefers quiet environment, avoids loud noises like vacuum cleaners

🇳🇴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 Snurre, answered.

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