Sumac

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Sumac is a sweet, playful, and affectionate girl with a big heart. She is a little shy, but she loves to be close to people. She is still getting used to having two feet, but she would love to be your companion and find a place to sit near you. She just needs a little time to feel completely safe. One of her favorite things is to play! If you can find a feather toy, she will be ready in no time. She will jump, pounce, chase, and roll around on the floor while holding onto her prey. She loves to be active, and if she thinks it's been too quiet for too long, she will come over to you in her gentle way to give you a hint. 😸 She has come a long way since she first met people, but she still has a few small steps to take. Even though she can be unsure, she loves to cuddle. In the evening, she often comes up to the bed quietly and gently, enjoying some cuddles and maybe jumping away again when she's done. Sometimes she will lie on her back and stretch her paws towards you to get attention, play, and love. She has a daily routine that she really enjoys. She waits eagerly for liquid snacks and cuddles. She likes to sit at the top of the climbing tower and watch carefully, licking her mouth and knowing that something good is coming. First a little cuddle, then snacks – and maybe more cuddles afterwards. She will lean into your hand and enjoy every moment. ❤️ She can live with other cats if the introduction is done calmly and gradually. However, she thinks a home without small children would be best for her. When she plays, she can get a bit excited and forget that her claws are out. Even though she is no longer a kitten, she still has a lot of energy and plays with great enthusiasm. She is a happy girl who loves life, and under her chin, she has even a little black heart. It suits her quite well, I think. Because I have a big heart full of love to give to someone who is willing to give me time, patience, and security. I know that there is a person out there who is just right for me. Someone who sees beyond the shyness and sees the playful, loving girl I am. Until we find each other, I will continue to keep my foster mother company, play, roll around, eat snacks, and watch life from my favorite spot in the window sill. 🐾

«Hei, jeg heter Sumac ❤️ Jeg er en snill, leken og kosete, men litt sjenert jente med et stort hjerte. Tobente er fortsatt litt uvante for meg, men jeg vil så gjerne være nær. Jeg følger gjerne med på hva du gjør, holder deg med selskap og finner meg en plass i nærheten. Jeg trenger bare litt tid til å føle meg helt trygg. Noe av det aller beste jeg vet, er å leke! Hvis du finner frem en lekestang med fjær, er jeg klar på et øyeblikk. Da går jeg rett inn i jaktmodus, hopper, spretter, kaster meg etter byttet og ruller rundt på gulvet mens jeg holder det fast med potene. Jeg elsker å bli aktivisert, og hvis jeg synes det har vært litt stille for lenge, kommer jeg gjerne bort på min forsiktige måte for å gi deg et hint. 😸 Jeg har kommet langt siden jeg først møtte mennesker, men jeg har fortsatt noen små steg igjen å ta. Selv om jeg kan være usikker, elsker jeg kos. Om kvelden kommer jeg ofte forsiktig opp i sengen. Jeg nærmer meg stille og varsomt, nyter litt kos og hopper kanskje unna igjen når jeg er ferdig. Noen ganger legger jeg meg på ryggen og strekker potene mot deg for å få både oppmerksomhet, lek og kjærlighet. Hver morgen har jeg en fast rutine som jeg setter stor pris på. Da venter jeg spent på liquid snacks og kos. Jeg ligger gjerne øverst på klatretårnet og følger nøye med, slikker meg rundt munnen og vet at noe godt er på vei. Først litt kos, så snacks – og gjerne mer kos etterpå. Da lener jeg meg inn i hånden din og nyter hvert eneste øyeblikk. ❤️ Jeg kan bo sammen med andre katter hvis introduksjonen skjer rolig og gradvis. Derimot tror jeg et hjem uten små barn vil passe meg best. Når jeg leker, kan jeg bli litt ivrig og glemme at klørne mine er ute. Selv om jeg ikke er en kattunge lenger, har jeg fortsatt masse energi og leker med stor entusiasme. Jeg er en glad jente som elsker livet, og under haken min har jeg til og med et lite svart hjerte. Det passer meg ganske godt, synes jeg. For jeg har et stort hjerte fullt av kjærlighet å gi til den som er villig til å gi meg tid, tålmodighet og trygghet. Jeg vet at det finnes et menneske der ute som er helt riktig for meg. En som ser forbi sjenansen og ser den lekne, kjærlige jenta jeg er. Inntil vi finner hverandre, fortsetter jeg å holde fostermor med selskap, leke, rulle meg rundt, spise snacks og følge med på livet fra favorittplassen min i vinduskarmen. 🐾» – Hilsen lille snuppa Sumac Sumac er kastrert, ID-merket med chip, vaksinert og har fått en full helsesjekk samt ormekur.

About Sumac

What life with Sumac looks like

Sumac is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Hjerte for Hjemløse Katter in Trollåsen.

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 Sumac, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sumac?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hjerte for Hjemløse Katter handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sumac on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sumac if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hjerte for Hjemløse Katter 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 Sumac 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 Sumac 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 Hjerte for Hjemløse Katter early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sumac 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 (NB). 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.
