Diuczessa (a56)

Female

DIUCZESSA — she came to us as a stray cat caught on Chorzowska Street. She was brought in for treatment, and during diagnostics it turned out that she is suffering from feline leukemia virus (FeLV). She’s a very gentle and reserved cat who probably hasn’t had many positive experiences with humans before. She’s distrustful, cautious, and in stressful situations, she tries to defend herself by warding off anyone who approaches her. She needs plenty of peace, patience, and time to feel safe and understand that humans can offer care rather than pose a threat. Diuczessa uses the litter box. Despite her shyness, she deserves a chance at a peaceful life where she can function without fear and under the care of someone who will accept her personality and allow her to open up at her own pace. Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is an infectious disease that affects only cats and poses no risk to humans or other animal species. Cats testing positive for FeLV may have reduced immunity and be more susceptible to infections, so they require appropriate care, good living conditions, and attention to their health. However, this doesn’t mean they can’t lead long and happy lives. With proper care, many cats with FeLV enjoy a calm and fulfilling daily routine. Diuczessa could live as an only cat or with other cats infected with FeLV. What she needs most is a safe environment and a human who will give her time, patience, and the chance to build trust. ul.

DIUCZESSA - trafiła do nas jako kotka wolno żyjąca złapana na ul. Chorzowskiej. Przyjechała na leczenie, a podczas diagnostyki okazało się, że zmaga się z kocią białaczką (FeLV). To bardzo delikatna i wycofana kotka, która prawdopodobnie nie miała wcześniej zbyt wielu pozytywnych doświadczeń z człowiekiem. Jest nieufna, ostrożna i w sytuacjach, które ją stresują, próbuje się bronić, odstraszając osoby zbliżające się do niej. Potrzebuje dużo spokoju, cierpliwości i czasu, aby poczuć się bezpiecznie i zrozumieć, że człowiek może oznaczać troskę, a nie zagrożenie. Diuczessa korzysta z kuwety. Mimo swojej nieśmiałości zasługuje na szansę na spokojne życie, w którym będzie mogła funkcjonować bez lęku i pod opieką kogoś, kto zaakceptuje jej charakter oraz pozwoli jej otworzyć się we własnym tempie. Kocia białaczka (FeLV) to choroba zakaźna dotycząca wyłącznie kotów i nie stanowi zagrożenia dla ludzi ani innych gatunków zwierząt. Koty z dodatnim wynikiem mogą mieć obniżoną odporność i być bardziej podatne na infekcje, dlatego wymagają odpowiedniej opieki, dobrych warunków życia oraz troski o zdrowie. Nie oznacza to jednak, że nie mogą prowadzić długiego i szczęśliwego życia. Przy właściwej opiece wiele kotów z FeLV cieszy się spokojną codziennością. Diuczessa może zamieszkać jako kocia jedynaczka lub z innymi kotami zakażonymi FeLV. Najbardziej potrzebuje bezpiecznego miejsca i człowieka, który da jej czas, cierpliwość oraz szansę na zbudowanie zaufania. ul.

Frequently asked

Adopting Diuczessa (a56), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Diuczessa (a56)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Kielce handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Diuczessa (a56) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Diuczessa (a56) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Kielce 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 Diuczessa (a56) 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 Diuczessa (a56) 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 Kielce early rather than rehoming privately; they know Diuczessa (a56) 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.
