Benedykt

Male · Adult · 4 years

Benedykt is a charming, ginger kitten with a gentle and delicate temperament. He’s not the type to immediately jump into a person’s arms, but each day he shows that he’s becoming more and more open to the world and to the people around him. At first, he can be shy, yet over time, curiosity begins to take over. He carefully observes his surroundings, keeps an eye out for humans, and increasingly willingly approaches them to say hello. It’s clear that he’s making great progress and gaining more confidence with each passing day. He’s getting better and better at feeling comfortable in the presence of people and calmly accepts their closeness. Benedykt loves playing—especially when balls are involved, as they can effectively capture his attention. He also enjoys gentle petting, particularly when he himself feels relaxed and safe. He’s a cat who needs time, but he knows how to appreciate the care and patience shown to him by his human companion. We’re looking for a calm and understanding forever home for Benedykt. He’d thrive best as an only cat, where he can build a relationship with his caregiver at his own pace. In the right conditions, this special little kitten has the chance to fully blossom and show just how much warmth lies within his small, tabby heart. Before adopting, we kindly ask that you fill out our pre-adoption questionnaire and bring it with you to the shelter. Please note: When deciding to adopt a cat or considering adoption, be sure to bring a carrier or transport bag for cats to the shelter. Before adopting, make sure your home or apartment is safe and properly prepared to welcome a new family member. Remember to secure windows and balconies.

Benedykt to uroczy bury kocurek o łagodnym i delikatnym usposobieniu. To kot, który nie rzuca się od razu w ramiona człowieka, ale każdego dnia pokazuje, że coraz bardziej otwiera się na świat i ludzi wokół siebie. Początkowo bywa nieśmiały, jednak z czasem ciekawość bierze górę. Uważnie obserwuje otoczenie, wypatruje człowieka i coraz chętniej podchodzi się przywitać. Widać, że robi duże postępy i z dnia na dzień nabiera większej pewności siebie. Coraz lepiej odnajduje się w obecności ludzi i spokojnie akceptuje ich bliskość. Benedykt lubi zabawę, szczególnie gdy w grę wchodzą piłeczki, które potrafią skutecznie przyciągnąć jego uwagę. Chętnie korzysta także z delikatnych głasków, zwłaszcza gdy sam czuje się komfortowo i bezpiecznie. To kot, który potrzebuje czasu, ale potrafi docenić troskę i cierpliwość okazywaną mu przez człowieka. Szukamy dla Benedykta spokojnego i wyrozumiałego domu na zawsze. Najlepiej odnajdzie się jako koci jedynak, gdzie będzie mógł budować relację z opiekunem we własnym tempie. W odpowiednich warunkach ten wyjątkowy kocurek ma szansę w pełni rozwinąć skrzydła i pokazać, jak wiele ciepła kryje się w jego małym, pręgowanym sercu. Przed adopcją sugerujemy zapoznanie się z kwestionariuszem przedadopcyjnym i przyjazd do schroniska z już wypełnioną ankietą: Uwaga: Decydując się na adopcję kota lub rozważając ją, koniecznie weź ze sobą do schroniska transporter lub torbę transportową do przewozu kotów. Przed adopcją upewnij się, że Twój dom / mieszkanie jest bezpieczne i odpowiednio przygotowane do przyjęcia nowego członka rodziny. Pamiętaj, żeby zabezpieczyć okna i balkon.

About Benedykt

What life with Benedykt looks like

Benedykt is a small adult cat waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

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 Benedykt, answered.

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