Anabel

Female · Adult · 5 years

Ana grew up to be a stunningly beautiful, though delicate little cat—her petite build (the mini version) is the result of a congenital genetic defect. This tiny hero has been through an incredible amount in her life: she fought a tough battle against FIP and underwent complex, life-saving surgeries. Ana was born without a fully developed anus. After surgical procedures, she now defecates on her own—but due to her unique anatomy, she occasionally loses small, dry stools in various places around the house. For her caregivers, these little surprises are a source of joy—they mean that her intestines are functioning properly! Sometimes, they also need to gently massage her tummy to help her out. By nature, Ana is initially distrustful and cautious. She needs time to feel safe, but once she falls in love with her human, she does so completely and wholeheartedly, with her entire little body. 😊💚

Ana wyrosła na przepiękną, choć filigranową kotkę – jej drobna budowa (wersja mini) to efekt wrodzonej wady genetycznej. Ta maleńka bohaterka przeszła w swoim życiu niewiarygodnie dużo: wygrała ciężką walkę z FIP-em oraz przeszła skomplikowane operacje ratujące życie. Ana urodziła się bez wykształconego odbytu. Po zabiegach chirurgicznych wypróżnia się samodzielnie, jednak ze względu na specyficzną anatomię zdarza się jej gubić małe, suche bobki w różnych miejscach w domu. Dla jej opiekunów te niespodzianki to powód do radości – oznaczają, że jelita pracują prawidłowo! Czasem trzeba jej też pomóc delikatnym masażem brzuszka. Z charakteru Ana jest na początku nieufna i ostrożna. Potrzebuje czasu, by poczuć się bezpiecznie, ale gdy już pokocha swojego człowieka, robi to bezgranicznie, całym swoim małym ciałkiem. 😊💚

About Anabel

What life with Anabel looks like

Anabel is a adult cat waiting at Fundacja Dla Zwierząt Animalia Poznań in Poznań.

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 Anabel, answered.

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