Dolce

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Hello, I'm Dolce! I'm a few years old tomcat who came to the shelter on May 28, 2026 from the Azalia allotments at Bytomska Street. Initially, I stayed at the Veterinary Center, and later I was treated for a long time at the shelter. Fortunately, today my health is much better and I can focus on what's most important - finding my own home. I'm an extremely sociable cat and I really love people. I enjoy playing, I'm interested in everything around me, but I also really appreciate quiet moments on a soft bed, preferably somewhere close to human hands ready to pet. I don't mind other cats, but I feel best in quiet cat company. A large number of cats can overwhelm me, especially when one of them chases me. So I dream of a home where I can feel safe and free. I use the litter box beautifully. I'm vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and neutered. After everything I've been through, I would really like to finally exchange the shelter bed for my own blanket and have a person I can sleep peacefully with. Maybe you'll find my forever place?

Cześć, jestem Dolce!Jestem kilkuletnim kocurkiem, który trafił do schroniska 28 maja 2026 roku z ogródków działkowych Azalia przy ul. Bytomskiej. Początkowo przebywałem w Centrum Weterynarii, a później jeszcze długo byłem leczony już w schronisku. Na szczęście dziś ze zdrówkiem jest u mnie dużo lepiej i mogę skupić się na tym, co najważniejsze – szukaniu własnego domu. Jestem niezwykle towarzyskim kotem i naprawdę uwielbiam ludzi. Chętnie się bawię, interesuje mnie wszystko dookoła, ale równie mocno cenię sobie spokojne chwile na miękkim posłanku, najlepiej gdzieś blisko ludzkich rąk gotowych do głaskania.Nie mam nic przeciwko innym kotom, jednak najlepiej czuję się w spokojnym kocim towarzystwie. Duża liczba kotów potrafi mnie przytłoczyć, szczególnie gdy któryś z nich mnie przegania. Marzy mi się więc dom, w którym będę mógł czuć się bezpiecznie i swobodnie.Pięknie korzystam z kuwety. Jestem zaszczepiony, odrobaczony, zaczipowany i wykastrowany.Po tym wszystkim, co przeszedłem, bardzo chciałbym wreszcie zamienić schroniskowe posłanko na własny kocyk i mieć człowieka, przy którym będę mógł spokojnie zasypiać. Może właśnie u Ciebie znajdę swoje miejsce na zawsze?

About Dolce

What life with Dolce looks like

Dolce is a large 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dolce, answered.

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