Alfa

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 10 years

Alfa is a black kitten who was born in May 2025 and came to us as a stray cat and already required help upon arrival, she came sick with symptoms of a feline cold. She was treated, and after stabilizing her health, she was spayed and could be released to the yard. Medically, she is protected, but her biggest challenge remains the behavioral sphere. Contact with people is very difficult for her. As soon as a person appears in the cattery, she immediately runs to her safe place. Attempts to approach her are perceived as a threat, she responds with hissing, warning, and clearly shows her readiness for defense. This is not aggression "without reason", but a strong fear reaction and the need to maintain distance. Alfa is a kitten with significant behavioral difficulties, in a very demanding and slow socialization process. She needs stability, calmness and full respect for boundaries. At this moment, her sense of security is key, and all further decisions must be made without pressure for quick changes, taking into account her real abilities. She has been spayed, dewormed, treated for fleas, vaccinated, microchipped, and registered in the Safe Animal database. She is staying at: animal shelter Funny Pets in Czartki Czartki 49b, 98-200 Sieradz powiat sieradzki, woj.

Alfa to czarna kotka, która urodziła się w maju 2025 roku i trafiła do nas jako kot dziki i już na starcie wymagała pomocy, przyjechała chora, z objawami kociego kataru. Została objęta leczeniem, a po ustabilizowaniu stanu zdrowia przeszła sterylizację i mogła zostać wypuszczona na wybieg. Od strony medycznej została zabezpieczona, natomiast jej największym wyzwaniem pozostaje sfera behawioralna. Kontakt z człowiekiem jest dla niej bardzo trudny. Gdy tylko w kociarni pojawia się człowiek, natychmiast ucieka do swojego bezpiecznego miejsca. Próby zbliżenia odbiera jako zagrożenie, reaguje syczeniem, ostrzeganiem i wyraźnie pokazuje gotowość do obrony. To nie jest agresja „bez powodu”, ale silna reakcja lękowa i potrzeba utrzymania dystansu. Alfa to kotka z dużymi trudnościami behawioralnymi, w trakcie bardzo wymagającego i powolnego procesu socjalizacji. Potrzebuje stabilności, spokoju i pełnego poszanowania granic. Na ten moment kluczowe jest jej poczucie bezpieczeństwa, a wszelkie dalsze decyzje muszą być podejmowane bez presji na szybkie zmiany, z myślą o jej realnych możliwościach. Została wysterylizowana, odpchlona, odrobaczona, zaszczepiona, zachipowana, zarejestrowana w bazie Safe Animal. Przebywa w: Schronisko Funny Pets w Czartkach Czartki 49b, 98-200 Sieradz powiat sieradzki, woj. łódzkie 43 828 36 46 - ogólny

About Alfa

What life with Alfa looks like

Alfa is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

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. Adopters usually cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alfa, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alfa?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja Puszatek handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alfa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alfa if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Puszatek 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Alfa 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 Alfa 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 Fundacja Puszatek early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alfa 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.
