Apostrofka

Mixed Breed · Female

A sweet and resilient cat with a unique personality. She can come for pets, snuggle up to humans, and demand affection, but she can also clearly communicate when she's had enough. She needs a caregiver who will respect her boundaries and give her time to trust on her own terms. We believe she will show her best side in a peaceful home. We have the impression that life in a cage doesn't serve her well. She is stressed and irritable, which is why we are looking for a place where she can finally feel safe. Apostrofka came to us in a very bad state. She had extensive wounds and required long treatment. She was saved and restored to health, but a small wound on her nose stubbornly refused to heal. Unfortunately, further diagnostics brought a difficult diagnosis, squamous cell carcinoma. She underwent electrochemotherapy and responded very well to it. Currently, the disease is in remission, and the doctor did not detect any worrying changes during the check-up. However, it must be remembered that she remains an oncology patient. Although the prognosis is currently good, there is a risk of relapse or the appearance of metastases in the future, so the future caregiver should be aware of this and ensure regular veterinary check-ups. Apostrofka does not tolerate other cats, so we are looking for a home where she will be the only cat. She will also not get along with dogs. Due to her temperament, we are looking for a home without small children. A calm, patient, and empathetic one. We are looking for a person who will not look for a perfect cat. We are looking for someone who will love her for what she is - a brave warrior with a difficult past, her own character, and a huge chance for a beautiful life by the side of her human. The cat has a positive FIV result and a negative FeLV result. She is vaccinated, dewormed, and ready for adoption.

To kotka o naprawdę wyjątkowym charakterze. Potrafi przyjść po głaski, wtulić się w człowieka i domagać się czułości, ale równie wyraźnie potrafi zakomunikować, że ma już dość. Potrzebuje opiekuna, który będzie szanował jej granice i da jej czas, by zaufała na własnych zasadach. Wierzymy, że w spokojnym domu pokaże swoje najlepsze oblicze.Mamy wrażenie, że życie w klatce bardzo jej nie służy. Jest zestresowana i rozdrażniona, dlatego szukamy dla niej miejsca, w którym wreszcie poczuje się bezpiecznie. Apostrofka trafiła do nas w bardzo złym stanie. Miała rozległe rany i wymagała długiego leczenia. Udało się ją uratować i przywrócić do zdrowia, ale na jej nosku pozostała niewielka ranka, która uparcie nie chciała się zagoić. Niestety dalsza diagnostyka przyniosła trudną diagnozę, raka płaskonabłonkowego Przeszła elektrochemioterapię i zareagowała na nią bardzo dobrze. Obecnie choroba jest w remisji, a podczas kontroli lekarz nie stwierdził niepokojących zmian. Trzeba jednak pamiętać, że pozostaje pacjentką onkologiczną. Choć rokowania są obecnie dobre, istnieje ryzyko wznowy choroby lub pojawienia się przerzutów w przyszłości, dlatego przyszły opiekun powinien mieć tego świadomość i zapewnić jej regularne kontrole weterynaryjne. Apostrofka nie toleruje innych kotów, dlatego szukamy dla niej domu, w którym będzie jedyną kocią mieszkanką. Z psem również raczej się nie odnajdzie. Ze względu na jej temperament szukamy domu bez małych dzieci. Spokojnego, cierpliwego i pełnego empatii.Szukamy dla niej człowieka, który nie będzie szukał kota idealnego. Szukamy kogoś, kto pokocha ją za to, jaka jest – dzielną wojowniczkę z trudną przeszłością, własnym charakterem i ogromną szansą na piękne życie u boku swojego człowieka. Kotka ma dodatni wynik FIV i ujemny FeLV. Jest zaszczepiona, odrobaczona i gotowa do adopcji.

About Apostrofka

What life with Apostrofka looks like

Apostrofka is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fundacja EkoStraż in Wrocław.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇵🇱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 Apostrofka, answered.

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