How do I contact the shelter about Zipper?

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 Zipper on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Zipper 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 Zipper 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 Zipper 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 Zipper 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.

Zipper

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

"Hello, my name is Zipper and I'm your future couch companion and life lover! 🐾 Are you looking for an expert in relaxation, a professional "food inspector" and a faithful friend who loves closeness? Then maybe I'm exactly who you're looking for. I'm a handsome 5-year-old gentleman weighing about 5 kilograms with silky soft, white and gray fur. I may have had a slightly cautious start in life as a "semi-tame" animal, but once I came into the warmth, I really discovered how great it is to live with people. I love to lie stretched out in bed or on the sofa. When I feel safe, I'll gladly show you my belly to tell you that I thrive here! They call me a food wreck, and that's probably true. I place great value on gourmet food (preferably with fish!) and I'm not difficult when good things come out. I'm not a climbing mouse that jumps on the curtains. I thrive best with both feet on the ground (or on the sofa) and take life calmly. I've learned that brushing and nail trimming are actually quite nice. I'm a gentle and kind boy who communicates clearly (and gives a little "no" if I get too much attention). I'm looking for a home where I can continue to flourish. Since I'm a bit sensitive to sudden noises, I thrive best in a quiet environment without too much hustle. Could this be the place where I can lie stretched out for the rest of my days?"

«Hei, jeg heter Zipper og er din fremtidige sofakamerat og livsnyter! 🐾 Er du på utkikk etter en ekspert på avslapning, en profesjonell «matinspektør» og en trofast venn som elsker nærhet? Da kan det hende at jeg er akkurat den du leter etter. Jeg er en flott herre på 5 år og ca. 5 kilo med silkemyk, hvit og grå pels. Jeg har kanskje hatt en litt forsiktig start på livet som «semitam», men etter at jeg kom inn i varmen har jeg virkelig oppdaget hvor fantastisk det er å bo med mennesker. Jeg elsker å ligge langstrakt i sengen eller i sofaen. Når jeg føler meg trygg, viser jeg deg gjerne magen min for å fortelle at her trives jeg! De kaller meg et matvrak, og det stemmer nok. Jeg setter stor pris på gourmetmat (gjerne med fisk!) og er ikke vanskelig å be når godbitene kommer frem. Jeg er ingen klatremus som hopper på gardinene. Jeg trives best med begge beina på bakken (eller i sofaen) og tar gjerne livet med ro. Jeg har lært meg at børsting og kloklipp faktisk er ganske deilig. Jeg er en mild og snill gutt som kommuniserer tydelig (og gir beskjed med et lite «nei» hvis jeg får for mye oppmerksomhet). Jeg leter etter et hjem der jeg får fortsette å blomstre. Siden jeg er litt vàr for plutselige lyder, trives jeg best i et rolig miljø uten for mye styr. Er det hos deg jeg kan få sove langstrakt resten av mine dager?» – Hilsen Zipper Zipper er kastrert, ID-merket med chip, vaksinert og har fått en full helsesjekk samt ormekur.

About Zipper

What life with Zipper looks like

Zipper 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.
