How do I contact the shelter about Eliza?

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

Can I adopt Eliza if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Puszatek 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 Eliza 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 Eliza 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 Fundacja Puszatek early rather than rehoming privately; they know Eliza 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.

Adopt Eliza

Mixed Breed · Female

Szylkretka was sitting under a pizzeria for several weeks. A person passing by noticed the huddled kitten with her head hanging down. No one from the neighborhood touched or took the kitten, because they were afraid she might carry some disease, sometimes they gave her something to eat. The kitten has a chronic intestinal disease. In spring 2024, the disease flared up. IBD got out of control. At times we lost hope whether we would be able to help her. It was hard, the effects came slowly, but they did come and probably we can finally breathe with relief, because we have a treatment plan that works. IBD is a disease that will stay with Elizka for the rest of her life. Cats with diseases definitely have much lower chances of adoption, but we try anyway. Eliza is an adult cat, very affectionate towards people. A 100% cuddler. She has good relations with other cats, she doesn't cause any problems in this area. Szylkretka will never be a healthy cat, but she can be a stable one. How long, we don't know, because cats' drops in condition can surprise at any moment. The cat must be on a diet and take medicine every day, and it will be like that till the end of her life. She is in Toruń, looking for a home all over Poland. However, it would be best if it were our area, so that Eliza could be under the care of her treating veterinarian.

Szylkretka podobno kilka tygodni siedziała pod pizzerią. Skuloną kotkę ze zwieszoną głową wypatrzyła przejeżdżająca tamtędy osoba. Nikt z okolicy kotki nie dotykał, ani nie zabrał, bo bali się, że przeniosą jakąś chorobę, czasami dali jej jeść. Kotka ma przewlekłą chorobę jelit. Wiosną 2024 miała zaostrzenie choroby. IBD wyrwało się spod kontroli. Momentami traciłyśmy nadzieję, czy uda się jej pomóc. Było ciężko, efekty przychodziły powoli, ale są i chyba możemy już odetchnąć z ulgą, bo mamy schemat leczenia, który działa. IBD to choroba, która zostanie z Elizką do końca jej życia. Koty chore mają zdecydowanie mniejsze szanse na adopcję, ale mimo wszystko próbujemy. Eliza jest kotką dorosłą, baaaardzo kochaną dla człowieka. Typ 100% pieszczocha. Z kotami ma dobre relacje, nie sprawia w tym temacie problemów. Szylkretka nigdy nie będzie kotem zdrowym, ale może być kotem stabilnym. Jak długo, tego nie wiemy, bo kocie spadki formy potrafią zaskoczyć w każdym momencie. Kotka musi być na diecie i codziennie brać leki i tak będzie do końca życia. Jest w Toruniu, domu szuka w całej Polsce. Aczkolwiek najlepiej jakby były to nasze okolice, żeby Eliza została pod opieką jej lekarki prowadzącej.

About Eliza

What life with Eliza looks like

Eliza is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

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.
