Cleo

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Cleo is not quite a year old and already knows that the animal shelter is not the place for her. She’s one of those kittens who prefer to observe the world from a safe distance rather than throw herself into the arms of the first nice person she meets. Her gaze in the photos says it all: “This distance is okay, but take one more step and I’m gone.” Though she doesn’t seek contact forcefully, she feels much more secure in the company of other cats—she gets along well with other cats and over time her curiosity takes over. On the cat preschool, when a person doesn’t try to force her, Cleo approaches a little closer, observes, and explores the territory. She also has an atypical passion—music. She can sit by the speaker and listen to the sounds, as if relaxing after a hard day. She might not tell you which album to play, but she definitely appreciates calm, domestic rhythms. We are looking for a peaceful and patient home for Cleo where they will understand that trust is not won overnight and a true bond is formed slowly—step by step, note by note.

PL·Show original

Cleo ma niespełna rok i już wie, że schronisko to nie jest miejsce dla niej. To jedna z tych kotek, które wolą obserwować świat z bezpiecznej odległości, niż rzucać się w objęcia pierwszego lepszego człowieka. Jej wzrok na zdjęciach mówi wszystko: „ten dystans jest w porządku, ale zrób jeszcze jeden krok, a znikam”. Choć nie szuka kontaktu na siłę, w kocim towarzystwie czuje się znacznie pewniej – dobrze dogaduje się z innymi kotami i z czasem ciekawość bierze górę. Na kocim przedszkolu, gdy człowiek nie próbuje jej przekonywać na siłę, Cleo podchodzi bliżej, przygląda się i bada teren. Ma też nietypową pasję – muzykę. Potrafi usiąść przy głośniku i wsłuchiwać się w dźwięki, jakby relaksowała się po ciężkim dniu. Może nie powie Ci, którą płytę włączyć, ale zdecydowanie doceni spokojne, domowe rytmy. Szukamy dla Cleo domu spokojnego i cierpliwego, który zrozumie, że zaufania nie zdobywa się natychmiast, a prawdziwa więź rodzi się powoli – krok po kroku, nuta po nucie.

About Cleo

What life with Cleo looks like

Cleo is a young 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 Cleo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cleo?
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 Cleo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cleo 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 Cleo 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 Cleo 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 Cleo 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.
