Atena

Female · Adult · 10 years

Kropka is an older cat who struggles to find her way in a new reality. A change of environment is very stressful for her, so at the moment she is withdrawn and cautious about her surroundings. She is a sensitive cat who primarily needs peace, time and a patient approach. She does not seek contact immediately - she must first feel safe in order to slowly adapt to the new situation. Kropka is looking for a quiet, stable home where no one will rush her or expect anything from her. With a kind caretaker she has a chance to gradually find balance and a sense of security. We invite you to review the pre-adoption questionnaire and come to the animal shelter with the form already filled out: Before adoption make sure your home/apartment is safe and properly prepared for welcoming a new family member. Attention:

Atena to starsza koteczka, która z trudem odnajduje się w nowej rzeczywistości. Zmiana otoczenia jest dla niej dużym stresem, dlatego na ten moment jest wycofana i ostrożna wobec tego, co ją otacza. To kotka o wrażliwej naturze, która potrzebuje przede wszystkim spokoju, czasu i cierpliwego podejścia. Nie szuka kontaktu od razu – musi najpierw poczuć się bezpiecznie, by móc powoli oswajać się z nową sytuacją. Atena szuka cichego, stabilnego domu, w którym nikt nie będzie jej poganiał ani niczego od niej oczekiwał. Przy wyrozumiałym opiekunie ma szansę stopniowo odnaleźć równowagę i poczucie bezpieczeństwa. Zapraszamy do zapoznania się z ankietą przedadopcyjną i przyjazd do schroniska z już wypełnioną ankietą: Przed adopcją upewnij się, że Twój dom / mieszkanie jest bezpieczne i odpowiednio przygotowane do przyjęcia nowego członka rodziny. Uwaga: Decydując się na adopcję kota lub rozważając ją, koniecznie weź ze sobą do schroniska transporter lub torbę transportową do przewozu kotów Biuro Przyjęć i Adopcji 228681579 Kocia behawiorystka

About Atena

What life with Atena looks like

Atena is a small adult cat waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

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 Poland

Polish shelters maintain established transport routes to Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Atena, answered.

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