Brzuch FeLV+

Male · Adult · 9 years

A belly is a nice, older gentleman. Although he previously managed on his own as a free-roaming cat, the diagnosis of FeLV+ and other health problems led to him being in the shelter and looking for a responsible permanent or temporary home. Maybe he still has a chance for a soft couch and a stroking person? He may not be the most beautiful, but he has no lack of charm. Just look at those eyes! After getting to know him for a while, he is cautious, but once he accepts your presence, he is interested and seeks attention. He is a sympathetic cat who has managed for many years, and now he needs care. We did not let him return to the street, but the alternative is a cage... Unless you give him a chance? This cat is a FeLV carrier. What is FeLV+? It is a cat leukemia virus that can only be infected by CATS - so neither you nor your dog. It is transmitted between cats through saliva (shared bowls, grooming), shared litter boxes and from mother to kittens. Cats with FeLV can live with other FeLV-infected cats and other animals - for example, with a rabbit. Treatment for FeLV is treatment of its symptoms (which cats often do not show for a long time), and with proper care (diet, regular veterinary check-ups and a safe, quiet environment) the cat can live long and comfortably.

Brzuch to miły, starszy pan. Mimo, że wcześniej radził sobie sam jako kot wolnożyjący, diagnoza FeLV+ i inne problemy zdrowotne sprawiły, że został w schronisku i szuka odpowiedzialnego domu stałego lub tymczasowego. Może ma jeszcze szansę na miękką kanapę i głaszczącego człowieka? Nie jest może najpiękniejszy, ale nie brakuje mu uroku. Spójrzcie tylko na te oczy! Po poznaniu przez chwilę jest ostrożny, ale kiedy już zaakceptuje Twoją obecność, jest zainteresowany i szuka uwagi. To sympatyczny kot, który radził sobie przez wiele lat, a teraz potrzebuje opieki. Nie pozwoliliśmy mu wrócić na ulicę, ale alternatywą jest klatka…No, chyba, że Ty dasz mu szansę? Ten kot jest nosicielem FeLV. Czym jest FeLV+? Jest to wirus białaczki kotów, którym zarazić się mogą TYLKO KOTY – a więc ani Ty, ani Twój pies. Przenosi się między kotami przez kontakt ze śliną (wspólne miski, pielęgnacja), wspólne kuwety i z matki na kocięta. Koty z FeLV mogą mieszkać z innymi kotami zakażonymi FeLV oraz z innymi zwierzętami – np. z królikiem. Leczenie FeLV to leczenie jego objawów (których koty często długo nie wykazują), a przy odpowiedniej opiece (dieta, regularne kontrole weterynaryjne i bezpieczne, spokojne środowisko) kot może żyć długo i komfortowo. 🙂

About Brzuch FeLV+

What life with Brzuch FeLV+ looks like

Brzuch FeLV+ is a small adult cat waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Brzuch FeLV+, answered.

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