Erwina

Female · Young · 1 year

Erwina is a beautiful tricolor kitten, whose presence makes it hard to remain indifferent. She has lots of charm, energy and feline personality, and her unique coloration only emphasizes her uniqueness. This cat approaches new people and situations with caution. She needs a moment to feel more secure, but each day shows small progress and she gradually becomes more open to contact with humans. It is precisely these small steps that show how much potential she has for building relationships. Erwina is curious about her surroundings and carefully observes everything happening around her. She is not lacking in energy or desire to explore the world on her own terms. She is a cat with a distinctive personality, who needs a caregiver who understands feline nature and is ready to give her time and space. We are looking for a quiet, safe home for Erwina, where she can continue gaining confidence and developing at her own pace. With a patient and understanding person, she has a chance to show how wonderful she can be. Please come to meet her at the animal shelter with the pre-adoption questionnaire already filled out: Before adoption, make sure your home/apartment is safe and properly prepared to welcome a new family member. Attention: If you decide to adopt a cat or are considering it, please bring a carrier or transport bag for cats to the animal shelter.

Erwina to piękna tricolorowa koteczka, obok której trudno przejść obojętnie. Ma w sobie dużo uroku, energii i kociego charakteru, a jej wyjątkowe umaszczenie tylko podkreśla jej niepowtarzalność. To kotka, która do nowych osób i sytuacji podchodzi z ostrożnością. Potrzebuje chwili, żeby poczuć się pewniej, ale każdego dnia widać, jak robi małe postępy i coraz śmielej otwiera się na kontakt z człowiekiem. To właśnie te drobne kroki pokazują, jak duży ma potencjał do budowania relacji. Erwina jest ciekawa otoczenia i uważnie obserwuje wszystko, co dzieje się wokół niej. Nie brakuje jej energii ani chęci do poznawania świata na własnych zasadach. To kotka z wyrazistą osobowością, która potrzebuje opiekuna rozumiejącego kocią naturę i gotowego dać jej czas oraz przestrzeń. Szukamy dla Erwiny spokojnego, bezpiecznego domu, w którym będzie mogła dalej nabierać pewności siebie i rozwijać się we własnym tempie. Przy cierpliwym, wyrozumiałym człowieku ma szansę pokazać, jak wspaniałą jest kotką. Zapraszamy do zapoznania się z ankietą przedadopcyjną i przyjazd do schroniska z już wypełnioną ankietą: Przed adopcją upewnij się, że Twój dom / 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 lub torbę transportową do przewozu kotów.

About Erwina

What life with Erwina looks like

Erwina 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 Erwina, answered.

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