Vanilje

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Vanilla is a curious girl who likes to approach people and observe what they are doing. She finds it exciting to be around, but right now she is not ready to be touched or petted. She is not comfortable with physical contact yet, so I hope you can respect her boundaries and let her set the pace. She loves to play, eat treats, and especially other cats. She gets along well with other friendly cats and would like to live with other gentle cats. We also need to talk about wet food... it's one of the best things I know! 😻 If the serving takes too long, she might come and poke you on your legs to remind you that she is still waiting. She thinks this is a pretty effective way to communicate! She likes a good mix of play, exploration, and quiet moments. She may not come right over for a cuddle, but she has a lot of personality and curiosity to offer + great potential! She hopes to find a home where she can be herself, take things at her own pace.

«Hei, jeg heter Vanilje! 😸 Jeg er en nysgjerrig jente som gjerne oppsøker folk og følger med på hva du holder på med. Jeg synes det er spennende å være i nærheten, men akkurat nå er jeg ikke klar for å bli tatt på eller kost med. Berøring er ikke helt min greie ennå, så jeg håper du kan respektere grensene mine og la meg få bestemme tempoet. Jeg elsker lek, godbiter og ikke minst andre katter. ❤️ Jeg trives godt med kattevenner rundt meg og kan gjerne bo sammen med andre snille katter. Og så må vi snakke litt om våtfôr… det er nemlig noe av det beste jeg vet! 😻 Hvis serveringen tar litt for lang tid, kan det hende jeg kommer og pirker deg på beina for å minne deg på at jeg fortsatt venter. Jeg synes selv dette er en ganske effektiv måte å kommunisere på! Jeg liker en fin blanding av lek, utforsking og rolige stunder. Jeg er kanskje ikke den som kommer rett bort for en kos, men jeg har masse personlighet og nysgjerrighet å by på + stort potensiale! Jeg håper å finne et hjem hvor jeg får være meg selv, ta ting i mitt eget tempo.» -Hilsen Vanilje-pus Vanilje er kastrert, ID-merket med chip, vaksinert og har fått en full helsesjekk samt ormekur.

About Vanilje

What life with Vanilje looks like

Vanilje 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 Vanilje, answered.

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