Chwiejka

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Her name is not a coincidence. Chwiejka has neurological problems, which is why she moves in a characteristic way. Sometimes it looks like the world gently sways under her paws. But she's long since learned to live with this. It doesn't stop her from being... just a cat. She walks, runs, plays with other cats and curiously discovers the world. She doesn't expect pity - she only needs a home that sees something more in her than her way of moving. She is affectionate and craves closeness towards people. At first, she can be cautious because not every human immediately inspires trust. However, once she convinces herself that she is safe, she will gladly snuggle up to you and look for a lap where she can sleep peacefully. Chwiejka is a delicate soul. One who doesn't need much - a little patience, a warm corner and a person who loves her just the way she is. Her steps may not be perfectly sure. But one thing is certain - if you give her a chance, she will do everything to find her way straight to your heart. 🏡 Chwiejka is waiting for her home. A forever home. One where no one will judge her by the way she walks, but by how much love she can give.

PL·Show original

Jej imię nie jest przypadkowe. Chwiejka ma problemy neurologiczne, dlatego porusza się w charakterystyczny sposób. Czasem wygląda, jakby świat delikatnie kołysał się pod jej łapkami. Ale ona już dawno nauczyła się z tym żyć. To nie przeszkadza jej być... po prostu kotem. Chodzi, biega, bawi się z innymi kotami i z ciekawością odkrywa świat. Nie oczekuje litości - potrzebuje tylko domu, który zobaczy w niej coś więcej niż jej sposób poruszania się. Wobec ludzi jest czuła i spragniona bliskości. Na początku potrafi być ostrożna, bo nie każdy człowiek od razu wzbudza zaufanie. Gdy jednak przekona się, że jest bezpieczna, z przyjemnością wtuli się w Ciebie i poszuka kolan, na których będzie mogła spokojnie zasnąć. Chwiejka jest delikatną duszą. Taką, która nie potrzebuje wiele - odrobiny cierpliwości, ciepłego kąta i człowieka, który pokocha ją właśnie taką, jaka jest. Może jej kroki nie są idealnie pewne. Ale jedno jest pewne - jeśli dasz jej szansę, zrobi wszystko, żeby znaleźć drogę prosto do Twojego serca. 🏡 Chwiejka czeka na swój dom. Taki na zawsze. Taki, w którym nikt nie będzie oceniał jej po sposobie, w jaki chodzi, tylko po tym, ile miłości potrafi dać.

About Chwiejka

What life with Chwiejka looks like

Chwiejka is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko Skałowo in Poland.

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 Chwiejka, answered.

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