Adopt Emma

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

This beautiful lady is Emma. She is about 2 years old. She was rescued during a spaying procedure and has been with us since then. At first, she was terrified and disoriented. She would allow herself to be gently petted, but it was clear that touch was something new and somewhat frightening for her. With each passing day, Emma surprised us more and more. She still fears touch, but sometimes she allows herself to be petted and doesn’t run in panic. She loves playing with the rest of the herd, and even enjoys playing with a ball or feather. Emma is a cat that needs to be won over and given time to trust. She is not the type of cat that will immediately jump into someone’s lap and show her belly. That said, she is incredibly intelligent and curious. We are looking for a home for Emmy that will continue working on her lack of trust and fear. We have great hope that somewhere out there, there is a responsible home waiting for her. We want to find her the best home possible, which is why, for safety reasons, we do not place cats in homes that are not secure, requiring a covered balcony and at least one window.

Ta piękna dama to Emma. Ma około 2 lat. Została odłowiona na zabieg sterylizacji i już z nami została. Na początku była przerażona i zdezorientowana. Dawała się delikatnie pogłaskać, nie atakowała, ale widać było że dotyk to dla niej coś nowego, coś czego się bała. Z każdym dniem Emma zaskakiwała nas coraz bardziej. Nadal boi się dotyku, ale czasami pozwoli się pogłaskać i nie ucieka w popłochu. Uwielbia się bawić z resztą stada, a także sama np. piłeczką albo piórkiem. Emma to kotka, którą trzeba przekonać do siebie i dać czas na zaufanie. Nie jest typem kota, który od razu wskoczy na kolana i odsłoni brzuszek. Co nie zmienia faktu, że jest niezwykle inteligentna i ciekawska. Szukamy dla Emmy domu, który będzie kontynuował pracę nad jej nieufnością i lękiem. Mamy wielką nadzieję, że gdzieś tam czeka na nią odpowiedzialny dom. Chcemy znaleźć dla niej dom najlepszy z możliwych, dlatego też ze względów bezpieczeństwa nie wydajemy kotów do domów wychodzących, wymagamy zabezpieczenia balkonu i chociaż jednego okna.

About Emma

What life with Emma looks like

Emma is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja Psy Ulicy Warszawa 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Emma, answered.

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