How do I contact the shelter about Hrabia Balbin (b52)?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Kielce handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hrabia Balbin (b52) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Hrabia Balbin (b52) if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Kielce 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 Hrabia Balbin (b52) 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 Hrabia Balbin (b52) 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 Kielce early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hrabia Balbin (b52) 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.

Hrabia Balbin (b52)

Male

COUNT BALBIN (B52) — arrived at our shelter as a stray cat from Chałubińskiego Street. He came in for medical treatment, and during diagnostics it was discovered that he is suffering from feline leukemia virus (FeLV). Despite his difficult past and experiences living on the streets, he is a very loving and gentle cat. In his new environment, he has adjusted so well that he uses the litter box and clearly shows how much he needs peace, security, and human care. Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a contagious disease that affects only cats and poses no threat to humans or other animal species. Cats testing positive for FeLV may have reduced immunity and be more susceptible to infections; therefore, they require appropriate care, good living conditions, and regular health check-ups. However, this does not mean they cannot enjoy a long and happy life. With proper care, many cats with FeLV can remain in good health for years. Count Balbin can live as an only cat or in a home with other cats infected with FeLV. Right now, he most urgently needs a calm, peaceful place and a person who will show him that after his tough life on the streets, he can still experience safety and a real home. ul.

HRABIA BALBIN (B52) -trafił do nas jako kot wolno żyjący z ul. Chałubińskiego. Przybył na leczenie, a podczas diagnostyki okazało się, że zmaga się z kocią białaczką (FeLV). Mimo trudnej historii i doświadczeń życia na ulicy jest bardzo kochanym oraz miłym kotem. W nowych warunkach odnalazł się na tyle dobrze, że korzysta z kuwety i pokazuje, że bardzo potrzebuje spokoju, bezpieczeństwa oraz troski człowieka. Kocia białaczka (FeLV) to choroba zakaźna, która dotyczy wyłącznie kotów i nie stanowi zagrożenia dla ludzi ani innych gatunków zwierząt. Koty z dodatnim wynikiem mogą mieć obniżoną odporność i być bardziej podatne na infekcje, dlatego wymagają odpowiedniej opieki, dobrych warunków życia oraz regularnej kontroli zdrowia. Nie oznacza to jednak, że nie mogą cieszyć się długim i szczęśliwym życiem. Przy właściwej trosce wiele kotów z FeLV funkcjonuje przez lata w dobrej kondycji. Hrabia Balbin może zamieszkać jako koci jedynak lub w domu z innymi kotami zakażonymi FeLV. Najbardziej potrzebuje teraz spokojnego miejsca i człowieka, który pokaże mu, że po trudnym życiu na ulicy może jeszcze zaznać bezpieczeństwa i prawdziwego domu. ul.
