Balbinka &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Balbinka, the FeLV+ kitten, is looking for a home. I wonder if anyone still remembers Balbinka the kitten who ran between the blocks for a whole month. One evening, she suddenly appeared from the bushes and ran up to us. She was very afraid of the fireworks that were already going off, barking dogs, but despite this, she snuggled up to a person and ran after anyone she met. On New Year's Eve, she didn't have to worry about a full belly and shelter. Later, she came under the care of Kitty Franek, where she waits for a home. She is small, loved, and adores being petted. Unfortunately, the FeLV+ strongly limits this, but it does not mean she cannot find a home. Balbinka is about 2 years old, uses the litter box well, and accepts dogs. She is looking for a home as a single kitten or with another FeLV+ kitten. She is in Pionki, voivodeship Mazowieckie, but we can help with transportation to Warsaw or the surrounding areas.

Balbinka kotka FeLV+ szuka domu Nie wiem czy dzisiaj jeszcze ktoś pamięta o Balbince kotce, która przez miesiąc biegała miedzy blokami. Któregoś wieczoru pojawiła się nagle z krzaków i podbiegła do nas Bardzo bała się petard, które już wtedy strzelały, szczekających psów, a mimo to garnęła się do człowieka i biegła za każdym, kogo napotkała W wigilię nie musiała martwić się o pełny brzuszek i schronienie. Później trafiła pod opiekę Kitty Franek gdzie czeka na dom Jest miziasta, kochana, uwielbia głaskanie. Niestety FeLV+ mocno ogranicza, jednak nie jest to wyrok w znalezieniu domu. Balbinka ma około 2 lata, ładnie korzysta z kuwety. Akceptuje psy. Szuka domu jako kocia jedynaczka lub z kotem FeLV+. Znajduje się w Pionkach woj. Mazowieckie ale w razie potrzeby pomożemy w transporcie do Warszawy/ okolic.

About Balbinka &#8211

What life with Balbinka &#8211 looks like

Balbinka &#8211 is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Pionkowskie Towarzystwo Opieki nad Zwierzętami in Poland.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇵🇱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 Balbinka &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Balbinka &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pionkowskie Towarzystwo Opieki nad Zwierzętami handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Balbinka &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Balbinka &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pionkowskie Towarzystwo Opieki nad Zwierzętami 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 Balbinka &#8211 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 Balbinka &#8211 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 Pionkowskie Towarzystwo Opieki nad Zwierzętami early rather than rehoming privately; they know Balbinka &#8211 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.
