Adopt TYSON

Domestic Shorthair · Male · 5 years

TYSON is an adult male cat (born September 2018) from a cat colony. He is partially socialized with people, but needs a long time to feel safe in new environments and with new people. He is a very cautious cat who likes to hide or use his paw when someone tries to pet him without permission, but he is never aggressive. He loves food and shows this clearly by holding his tail straight up and rubbing against edges and doors. In the right home that gives him time and patience, he will gradually become a safer cat, and when he feels safe, he can also accept some affection. He likes to be petted on the top of his head when he seeks out the affection himself, and lies on top of or near people he is comfortable with. TYSON needs a cat-friendly and calm home where he can feel safe at his own pace.

Tyson er en voksen hannkatt (født sept.-18) som kommer fra en kattekoloni. Han er delvis vant til mennesker, men trenger lang tid på å bli trygg i nye omgivelser og med nye folk. Han er en veldig forsiktig kar, som gjerne vil gjemme seg eller bruker poten når man prøver å klappe uten tillatelse, men han er aldri aggressiv. Han er glad i mat og viser dette tydelig med halen rett opp og gniing mot kanter og dører. I det riktige hjemmet som gir ham tid og tålmodighet, vil han med tiden bli en tryggere kar, og når han føler seg trygg kan han også ta imot litt kos. Han liker godt å bli klappet på toppen av hodet når han selv oppsøker kosen, og ligger oppå eller nærme personer han er trygg på. Tyson trenger et kattevant og rolig hjem der han kan få bli trygg i sitt eget tempo.

About TYSON

What life with TYSON looks like

TYSON is a medium-sized adult domestic shorthair cat waiting at Dyrebeskyttelsen Bergen in Bergen.

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: Needs patient owners experienced with shy/fearful cats from colonies

🇳🇴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 TYSON, answered.

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