Adopt Bajka

Mixed Breed · Female

A cat arrived at our shelter on March 1, 2025, from Gogolińska Street. The cat is several years old and was previously a stray, but a kind elderly woman took pity on her, fed the kitten, and let her into her apartment. Unfortunately, the woman passed away, and the neighbors were no longer friendly. Bajka is well-mannered, but unfortunately very frightened, probably because in her life she has had the chance to meet people also from this worse side. However, we believe that if someone is patient and gives her a peaceful environment, much can change for the better in her behavior. She likes to rest in hiding, loves her nest where she feels safe. She uses the litter box. She has been vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped, and has also had the spaying procedure. It's time to find her dream home.

Do nas trafiła 1 marca 2025 roku z ul. Gogolińskiej. Kotka jest kilkuletnia, wcześniej była wolno żyjąca, jednak zlitowała się nad nią pewna starsza Pani, która dokarmiała kicię i wpuszczała do swojego mieszkania, niestety Pani zmarła, a sąsiedzi już nie byli jej przychylni. Bajka jest grzeczna, niestety mocno wystraszona, zapewne dlatego, że w swoim życiu miała okazję poznać ludzi też z tej gorszej stronie. Wierzymy jednak, że jeśli ktoś będzie cierpliwy, a będzie miała zapewniony spokój to może wiele się w jej zachowaniu zmienić na lepsze. Lubi odpoczywać w ukryciu, uwielbia swoje legowisko, w którym czuje się bezpieczna.Korzysta z kuwety.Została zaszczepiona, odrobaczona i zaczipowana, jest też po zabiegu sterylizacji, czas znaleźć wymarzony domek.

About Bajka

What life with Bajka looks like

Bajka is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

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 Bajka, answered.

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