How do I contact the shelter about Barsik?

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

Can I adopt Barsik if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Puszatek 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 Barsik 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 Barsik 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 Puszatek early rather than rehoming privately; they know Barsik 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.

Barsik

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Barsik arrived at the shelter in March of this year. The tomcat lost his caregiver and the whole world he knew. He does not cope well with staying at the shelter. New people around him and cat company in the adoption room - it's a new situation for him, where he doesn't fully know how to find himself. He doesn't know what to expect from other cats and how to react to all this. The tomcat needs a quiet place where he can regain his balance. Barsik is an adorable little tiger. He has soft fur and a striped coat with white markings. The tomcat has a distinctive white stripe on his nose and beautiful green eyes. We are looking for a home for the tomcat, which will devote him the necessary time and show him patience. In a new home he will surely open up and become the best companion of daily activities. Come, love, adopt! NAME: Barsik (72/26) SEX: Tomcat AGE: About 2 years SPAYED / NEUTERED: Yes VACCINATION / DEWORMING / FLEA TREATMENT: Yes / Yes / Yes HEALTH: No noticeable health problems. CHARACTER: The tomcat has character. FOR WHO: For a patient person who will devote time to the tomcat. Barsik is in the shelter for homeless animals OTOZ Animals "Ciapkowo" in Gdynia. Please contact us at 530 364 791, 786 423 527 or 58 622 25 52, email:

Barsik trafił do schroniska w marcu tego roku. Kocurek stracił swojego opiekuna i cały świat, jaki znał. Źle znosi pobyt w schronisku. Nowi ludzie wokół i kocie towarzystwo w pokoju adopcyjnym – to dla niego nowa sytuacja, w której nie do końca wie jak się odnaleźć. Nie wie czego się spodziewać po innych kotach i jak na to wszystko reagować. Kocurek potrzebuje spokojnego miejsca, w którym odzyska równowagę. Barsik jest przeuroczym tygryskiem. Ma miękkie futerko i pręgowane umaszczenie z białymi znaczeniami. Kocurek ma charakterystyczną białą kreskę na nosku i piękne zielone oczęta. Szukamy kocurkowi domku, który poświeci mu niezbędny czas i okaże mu cierpliwość. W nowym domu na pewno otworzy się i stanie się najlepszym kompanem codziennych czynności. Przyjdź, pokochaj, adoptuj!

About Barsik

What life with Barsik looks like

Barsik is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

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.
