Don

Male · Young · 1 year

Don is a true feline gentleman. He’s calm, dignified, and incredibly charming. He delights not only with his beautiful appearance but also with his gentle nature. He enjoys human company and happily welcomes gentle petting, clearly cherishing the time spent together. Don is a cat who loves being close to people and eagerly seeks their attention. He can charmingly call out to his caregiver, inviting interaction and shared moments. As soon as someone gives him a little bit of time, he joyfully submits to being petted. He also has no shortage of playfulness. He especially adores the fishing rod toy, which he chases with genuine enthusiasm. Don will be a wonderful companion for people who dream of a calm yet engaging cat. We believe that in a loving home, he’ll quickly find his place and bring peace, warmth, and plenty of feline charm into your life every single day. We’re looking for a forever home for Don—a home where he’ll receive the care, closeness, and love he so deeply deserves. We invite you to fill out our pre-adoption questionnaire and come visit the shelter with the completed form already prepared. Before adopting, make sure your home or apartment is safe and properly equipped to welcome a new family member. Please note: when deciding to adopt a cat or considering adoption, be sure to bring a carrier or a cat transport bag to the shelter for transporting the cat.

Don to prawdziwy koci dżentelmen. Jest spokojny, dostojny i niezwykle uroczy. Zachwyca nie tylko swoim pięknym wyglądem, ale także łagodnym charakterem. Lubi towarzystwo człowieka i z przyjemnością korzysta z delikatnych głasków, wyraźnie ceniąc wspólnie spędzony czas. To kot, który lubi być blisko ludzi i chętnie zwraca na siebie uwagę. Potrafi uroczo nawoływać opiekuna, zachęcając do kontaktu i wspólnych chwil. Gdy tylko ktoś poświęci mu chwilę, z radością oddaje się głaskaniu. Nie brakuje mu również chęci do zabawy. Szczególnie uwielbia wędkę, za którą potrafi ganiać z prawdziwym zaangażowaniem. Don będzie wspaniałym towarzyszem dla osób, które marzą o spokojnym, a jednocześnie kontaktowym kocie. Wierzymy, że w kochającym domu szybko odnajdzie swoje miejsce i każdego dnia będzie wnosił do niego spokój, ciepło i mnóstwo kociego uroku. Szukamy dla Dona domu na zawsze. Takiego, w którym otrzyma troskę, bliskość i miłość, na które tak bardzo zasługuje. Zapraszamy do zapoznania się z ankietą przedadopcyjną i przyjazdu do schroniska z już wypełnioną ankietą: Przed adopcją upewnij się, że Twój dom lub mieszkanie jest bezpieczne i odpowiednio przygotowane do przyjęcia nowego członka rodziny. Uwaga: decydując się na adopcję kota lub rozważając ją, koniecznie weź ze sobą do schroniska transporter albo torbę transportową do przewozu kotów.

About Don

What life with Don looks like

Don is a small young adult cat waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

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 Don, answered.

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