Adopt Emka

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Hey, this is Emka! I came to the animal shelter with my siblings on October 7, 2025 from Tatarkiewicza Street. I am still a young, September kitten who is just discovering that people are not scary at all. Every day I open up more - sometimes I approach to sniff a hand, sometimes I let myself be petted, and sometimes I just watch from the side. With other cats I feel like a fish in water! I love chasing, playing and cuddling with my siblings. I use a litter box, I have been vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. In the future, you need to bring me for a free spaying procedure.

Hej, tu Emka! Razem z rodzeństwem trafiłam do schroniska 7 października 2025 roku z ul. Tatarkiewicza. Jestem jeszcze młodą, wrześniową koteczką, która dopiero odkrywa, że ludzie wcale nie są tacy straszni. Każdego dnia otwieram się coraz bardziej – czasem podchodzę, żeby powąchać rękę, czasem pozwalam się pogłaskać, a czasem po prostu obserwuję z boku. Za to przy innych kotach czuję się jak rybka w wodzie! Uwielbiam wspólne gonitwy, zabawy i przytulanie się do mojego rodzeństwa.Korzystam z kuwety, zostałam zaszczepiona, odrobaczona i zaczipowana. W przyszłości trzeba zgłosić się ze mną na bezpłatny zabieg kastracji.

About Emka

What life with Emka looks like

Emka is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇵🇱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 Emka, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Emka?
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 Emka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Emka 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 Emka already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs 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 Emka 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 Emka 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.
