Belladonna

Female · Adult · 8 years

Belladonna is a special cat who has been struggling with kidney disease for years. Her devoted caretaker, Mrs. Iza, does everything possible to ensure her comfort and best care. Unfortunately, something happened during a routine examination that no one expected... A concerning shadow appeared in the abdominal cavity on the X-ray. The doctors feared it was a foreign body threatening her life, so they decided to perform immediate surgery. Fortunately, the alarm turned out to be false, but in the process, a small lump was discovered on the pancreas. It was removed and sent for histopathological analysis. The result was shocking: a cystadenoma - a malignant tumor. Thanks to the quick reaction, Belladonna immediately started oncological treatment under the supervision of an excellent specialist. Now she is taking medication for her kidneys as well as minimally invasive anti-cancer therapy. It was a great burden for her to recover from the surgery and take the next medications, but Bellunia bravely fought! Although she had difficult moments, she slowly regained her appetite and strength. Now she is doing quite well, but she must continue taking the medication. The treatment costs are very high - surgery, tests, consultations, medications for the kidneys and supportive cancer therapy. That is why we ask for help! Every zloty brings Belladonna closer to health and gives her a chance for a further, happy life.

Belladonna to wyjątkowa kotka, która od lat zmaga się z chorobą nerek. Jej oddana opiekunka, Pani Iza robi wszystko, aby zapewnić jej komfort i najlepszą opiekę. Niestety, podczas rutynowego badania wydarzyło się coś, czego nikt się nie spodziewał… Na zdjęciu RTG pojawił się niepokojący cień w jamie brzusznej. Lekarze obawiali się, że to ciało obce zagrażające życiu, więc podjęto decyzję o natychmiastowej operacji. Na szczęście alarm okazał się fałszywy, ale przy okazji odkryto mały guzek na trzustce. Został usunięty i wysłany do badania histopatologicznego. Wynik był druzgocący: gruczolakorak – nowotwór złośliwy. Dzięki szybkiej reakcji Belladonna natychmiast rozpoczęła leczenie onkologiczne pod opieką wspaniałej specjalistki. Teraz przyjmuje leki zarówno na nerki, jak i terapię przeciwnowotworową w wersji małoinwazyjnej. Było to dla niej ogromne obciążenie, by dojść do siebie po zabiegu i przyjmować kolejne leki, ale Bellunia dzielnie walczy! Choć miała trudne chwile, powoli odzyskuje apetyt i siły. Teraz ma się już całkiem nieźle, ale leki musi przyjmować dalej. Koszty leczenia są bardzo wysokie – operacja, badania, konsultacje, leki na nerki i wspierającą terapię onkologiczną. Dlatego prosimy o pomoc! Każda złotówka przybliża Belladonnę do zdrowia i daje jej szansę na dalsze, szczęśliwe życie.

About Belladonna

What life with Belladonna looks like

Belladonna is a small adult cat waiting at Fundacja Dla Zwierząt Animalia Poznań in Poznań.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Belladonna, answered.

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