Velvet Belly

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Da denne utrolig vakre gutten ble reddet fra hjemløshet, bar han preg av å ikke være vant til mennesker. Han satte tydelige grenser overfor oss tobeinte og lot oss jobbe for å vinne tilliten og kjærligheten hans. Han hadde vonde og smertefulle tenner, som har blitt fjernet underveis, og nå som alt det vonde er borte og han flyttet i sitt eget fosterhjem har han blomstret enormt. Til tross for at han kun har et par tenner igjen så spiser han både tørrfor og våtfor, og om vi har godbiter kan vi få lov til å stryke han lett i området rundt hals og nakke. De andre fosterkattene i hjemmet forguder Velvet Belly og han tar i mot alle med åpne poter og kjærlighet. Når han vil ha kos av de andre kattene, kurrer han høyt for å kalle de til seg eller finne ut hvor de er. Bestevenninnen er Cizza, som han til stadighet ligger i tett omfavnelse med et eller annet sted. De to har funnet stor trygghet i hverandre og blir tryggere og tryggere i miljøet. Man kan virkelig se hvordan de nyter livet og trives med hverandre, og det er spennende å følge fremgangen han har for hver dag.

About Velvet Belly

What life with Velvet Belly looks like

Velvet Belly is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dyrehjelpen 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.

🇳🇴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 Velvet Belly, answered.

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