Virva

Mixed Breed · Female

"Hi, my name is Virva. I am an orange, calm and cautious girl who likes treats, cuddles and closeness, but on my own terms. When I feel safe, I am a very nice and loving cat to have around. Sometimes I can get a little uncertain, and then I might give a little warning bite or a nudge. Therefore, I need a calm and patient owner who is good at reading my signals and giving me security. I have had some experiences in the past that make me need a bit more time to settle, but this will get better as I feel safe in my new home. I have lived with other cats before, and it went very well. However, I do best in a home without children, where it is quiet around me. I am a lovely little soul who just wants a safe, quiet home with someone who understands me and gives me the time I need."

«Hei, jeg heter Virva. Jeg er en oransje, rolig og forsiktig jente som liker godbiter, kos og nærhet, men på mine egne premisser. Når jeg føler meg trygg, er jeg en veldig fin og kjærlig katt å ha rundt seg. Noen ganger kan jeg bli litt usikker, og da kan jeg gi et lite varselbitt eller dask. Derfor trenger jeg en rolig og tålmodig eier som er flink til å lese signalene mine og gi meg trygghet. Jeg har nok med meg noen erfaringer fra tidligere som gjør at jeg trenger litt ekstra tid til å lande, men dette vil bli bedre etter hvert som jeg føler meg trygg i mitt nye hjem. Jeg har bodd med andre katter før, og det har gått helt fint. Derimot passer jeg best i et hjem uten barn, hvor det er rolig rundt meg. Jeg er en herlig liten sjel som bare ønsker meg et trygt, rolig hjem med noen som forstår meg og gir meg den tiden jeg trenger.» – Hilsen Virva Virva er kastrert, ID-merket med chip, vaksinert og har fått en full helsesjekk samt ormekur.

About Virva

What life with Virva looks like

Virva is a 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 Virva, answered.

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