How do I contact the shelter about Ciszka?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Zabrze handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ciszka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ciszka if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Zabrze 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 Ciszka 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 Ciszka 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 Zabrze early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ciszka 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.

Ciszka

Mixed Breed · Female

Good day, I am Ciszka. I am a few years old and I came to the animal shelter on June 8, 2025, together with my five kittens, straight from the Family Garden Plots "Zacisze". I was very stressed then, very sick, but nevertheless I gave all my strength to protect and feed my children. Unfortunately, two of my little ones crossed the Rainbow Bridge... But I and the three remaining kittens feel better every day. I am a cautious and distrustful cat, but I have never been aggressive. I am a bit afraid of people - I need time to trust - but at the same time I often linger near the caretakers, I watch them from hiding and slowly learn that a person can be good. I like hiding places, especially those at height, because there I feel safe. I use the litter box without problems. When my health allows, I will be vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and spayed. I can never return to freedom - it would be too dangerous for me. However, I believe that someone special will find me, who will give me a calm, loving home and allow me to discover that life by the side of a human can be beautiful.

Dzień dobry, jestem Ciszka.Mam kilka lat i do schroniska trafiłam 8 czerwca 2025 roku razem z moją piątką maleńkich kociąt, prosto z Rodzinnych Ogródków Działkowych „Zacisze”. Byłam wtedy w ogromnym stresie, bardzo schorowana, a mimo to całe siły poświęcałam, by chronić i karmić moje dzieci. Niestety, dwójka moich maluszków odeszła za Tęczowy Most… Ale ja i trójka pozostałych kociąt z każdym dniem czujemy się coraz lepiej. Jestem kotką nieufną i ostrożną, ale nigdy nie byłam agresywna. Trochę boję się ludzi – potrzebuję czasu, żeby zaufać – ale jednocześnie często kręcę się w pobliżu opiekunów, obserwuję ich z ukrycia i powoli uczę się, że człowiek potrafi być dobry. Najbardziej lubię kryjówki, zwłaszcza te na wysokości, bo tam czuję się bezpieczna. Z kuwety korzystam bez problemu. Kiedy mój stan zdrowia na to pozwoli, zostanę zaszczepiona, odrobaczona, zaczipowana i wysterylizowana. Na wolność już nigdy nie mogę wrócić – byłoby to dla mnie zbyt niebezpieczne. Wierzę jednak, że znajdzie się ktoś wyjątkowy, kto podaruje mi spokojny, kochający dom i pozwoli odkryć, że życie u boku człowieka może być piękne.

About Ciszka

What life with Ciszka looks like

Ciszka is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

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.
