Adopt Brzozek

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Gentle kitten, whose life has not been easy... Brzozek arrived at EKOSTRAŻA in a tragic condition. He was previously shot (a shotgun pellet in his body), had an advanced respiratory infection, deep wounds with a lot of pus and blood on his legs (bites). In addition, he had an old broken leg. We fought for his health! Today, Brzozek is ready for adoption, but be aware of his illness - the kitten suffers from chronic kidney failure. Although Brzozek is about 8 years old, he is a young spirit: he plays like a kitten with balls and a fishing rod (he is afraid of larger toys). Brzozio is a big huggable - an amazing companion animal who can sit by a person all day. He responds to petting and comes for cuddles. However, he has his own rules, he does not like being picked up, but he will gladly come and jump on your knees. It is not recommended to stroke the back part of his body (a reminder of the injury), but otherwise, Brzozek is very calm, and he has a good appetite. He is a great cleaner, uses the litter box perfectly and loves grooming, which is very rare among cats. Brzozek drinks a lot of water, so it's worth preparing several bowls for him. He currently lives in a temporary home, but he would benefit from a permanent one. Brzozek likes people and other cats, suitable for a home with children. Negative tests, neutered and dewormed.

Łagodny kotek, którego życie nie oszczędzało… Do EKOSTRAŻY trafił Brzozek w tragicznym stanie. Został w przeszłości postrzelony (śrut w ciele), miał zaawansowaną infekcja dróg oddechowych, głębokie rany z dużą ilością ropy i krwi na nogach (pogryzienie). Do tego stare złamanie nóżki. Wywalczyliśmy jego zdrowie! Dziś Brzozek jest gotowy do adopcji, jednak należy liczyć się z jego chorobą – kotek cierpi na przewlekłą niewydolność nerek. Mimo że Brzozek ma około 8 lat, to duchem jest młodziakiem: bawi się jak kociak piłeczkami i wędką (większych zabawek się boi). Brzozio jest wielkim przytulasem – niesamowicie towarzyski to zwierz, co całymi dniami potrafi siedzieć przy człowieku. Reaguje na kicianie i przychodzi na pieszczoty. Po kociemu jednak wyznacza swoje zasady, nie przepada za braniem go na ręce, ale sam chętnie przyjdzie i wskoczy na kolana. Nie należy głaskać tylnej części ciała (pamiątka po urazie), lecz poza tym, Brzozek jest bardzo spokojny, a apetyt mu dopisuje. Jest wielkim czyściochem, bezbłędnie korzysta z kuwety i uwielbia czesanie, co bardzo rzadko spotykane u kotów. Brzozek pije dużo wody, więc warto przygotować dla niego kilka misek. Obecnie mieszka w domu tymczasowym, ale przydałby mu się taki na stałe. Brzozek lubi ludzi i koty, nadaje się do domu z dziećmi. Testy ujemne, wykastrowany i odrobaczony.

About Brzozek

What life with Brzozek looks like

Brzozek is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja EkoStraż in Wrocław.

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 Brzozek, answered.

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