How do I contact the shelter about Alaninka?

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

Can I adopt Alaninka 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 Alaninka 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 Alaninka 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 Alaninka 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.

Alaninka

Female · Adult · 4 years

20 cats taken from an apartment of only 20 m² – each had only 1 m² available... The conditions in which they lived were clearly inappropriate. They came to us scared and withdrawn, but thanks to patience and careful care, they started to open up and trust humans. Today, all these cat souls are looking for new, responsible homes, where they will finally experience peace, safety, and love. 3-year-old Alaninka is a tiny shih tzu cat, which can easily be mistaken for a kitten. Although she looks unassuming, she is an adult cat who knows exactly what she wants. Alaninka is shy - most of the day she spends hidden in a box, where she feels safe. Initially, she can scare away with hissing, but it just takes a little patience and gentle petting to break the ice. Then we discover in surprise that Alaninka... shows her belly and purrs beautifully! Alaninka will need time to fully open up and trust. But we know one thing - such cats, when they do trust, are extremely grateful and loving. We ask for a home - quiet, patient, and full of warmth - for this special little cat!

20 kotów odebranych z mieszkania o powierzchni zaledwie 20 m² – każdy z nich miał do dyspozycji tylko 1 m²… Warunki, w jakich żyły, były zdecydowanie nieodpowiednie. Trafiły do nas wycofane i przerażone, ale dzięki cierpliwości i troskliwej opiece zaczęły się otwierać i zaufały człowiekowi. Dziś wszystkie te kocie dusze szukają nowych, odpowiedzialnych domów, w których w końcu zaznają spokoju, bezpieczeństwa i miłości. 3-letnia Alaninka to drobniutka szylkretowa kotka, którą z łatwością można pomylić z kociakiem. Choć wygląda niepozornie, jest dojrzałą kicią, która doskonale wie, czego chce. Alaninka jest nieśmiała – większość dnia spędza schowana w kartonie, gdzie czuje się bezpiecznie. Początkowo potrafi odstraszyć syczeniem, ale wystarczy odrobina cierpliwości i delikatnego głaskania, by przełamać lody. Wtedy z zaskoczeniem odkrywamy, że Alaninka… pokazuje brzuszek i pięknie mruczy! Alaninka będzie potrzebować czasu, by w pełni się otworzyć i zaufać. Ale wiemy jedno – takie koty, gdy już zaufają, są niezwykle wdzięczne i kochające. Prosimy o dom – spokojny, cierpliwy i pełen ciepła – dla tej wyjątkowej koteczki!

About Alaninka

What life with Alaninka looks like

Alaninka 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.

Note from the shelter: Needs patient home due to trauma from overcrowded living conditions

🇵🇱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.
