ALKA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Alka, a cat, has been waiting for her forever home for 7 years... seven years of solitude in the cattery, no hope for a home - because she is not ginger, not tricolor, not a breed type, etc. etc. These ordinary tabbies can also love and be the best friends of humans. We dream of someone showing her what a cat's life should be like. Alka is spayed, healthy, calm. Friendly towards other cats, neutral towards humans.

Alka Ta kotka czeka na własny kąt już 7 lat … siedem lat samotności w kociarni, zero nadziei na dom – bo przecież nie jest ruda, nie jest trikolorką, nie jest w typie rasy itd. itp. Takie zwyczajne buraski też potrafią kochać i być największymi przyjaciółmi człowieka. Marzy nam się, aby ktoś pokazał jej jak powinno wyglądać życie kota. Alka jest wykastrowana, zdrowa, spokojna. Przyjazna w stosunku do innych kotów, do człowieka neutralna.

About ALKA

What life with ALKA looks like

ALKA is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja KOTIKOWO in Poland.

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 ALKA, answered.

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