Felka

Female · Adult · 9 years

Felka is a 9-year-old cat who, despite difficult experiences, has retained an extraordinary calm and trust in people. She is a quiet, brave companion who does not impose her presence, but very much appreciates closeness and care. Importantly, despite her age, she has a youthful soul and can joyfully engage in play, showing that there is still a lot of life and curiosity left in her. Her life has not been easy. Felka suffers from kidney polycystic disease and remains under the constant care of a nephrologist. She is spayed and previously had all her teeth removed. This does not hinder her daily functioning - she still manages very well and does not lose her charm. The cat had surgery on her right paw, but this does not affect her motor skills, as the paw has fully recovered. Felka will best feel at home in a quiet, stable house, without excessive stimuli. She can live with another calm cat of a similar age. She is an ideal candidate for a person who understands the needs of a senior cat and is ready to provide her with caring attention and regular veterinary check-ups. What does Felka need? A peaceful and safe home, attentive and responsible care, stable conditions that support recovery. In return, she offers what is most beautiful - a gentle presence, sensitivity and great gratitude. Felka is a cat that does not ask for much, but deserves a second chance. Shelter conditions do not help her health, so we are urgently looking for a home where she can live peacefully and regain her strength. If you can give her such a place, contact us. We invite you to complete the pre-adoption questionnaire and come to the animal shelter with the completed form: Before adoption, make sure your home or apartment is safe and properly prepared to welcome a new family member. Note: When deciding to adopt a cat or considering it, be sure to bring a carrier or transport bag to the animal shelter for transporting cats.

Felka to około 9-letnia kotka, która mimo trudnych doświadczeń zachowała w sobie niezwykły spokój i zaufanie do człowieka. To cicha, dzielna towarzyszka, która nie narzuca się swoją obecnością, ale bardzo docenia bliskość i troskę. Co ważne – mimo swojego wieku ma w sobie młodą duszę i potrafi z radością oddać się zabawie, pokazując, że wciąż drzemie w niej dużo życia i ciekawości świata. Jej życie nie było łatwe. Felka zmaga się z wielotorbielowatością nerek i pozostaje pod stałą opieką nefrologa. Kotka przyjmuje na stałe leki oraz wymaga regularnych kroplówek. Dzięki leczeniu jej parametry nerkowe uległy poprawie, a Felka czuje się coraz lepiej. Jest kotką wykastrowaną, a w przeszłości przeszła także zabieg usunięcia wszystkich ząbków. Nie przeszkadza jej to jednak w codziennym funkcjonowaniu – nadal radzi sobie świetnie i nie traci swojego uroku. Kotka jest po operacji prawej łapki, ale nie wpływa to na jej motorykę, bo łapka w pełni wróciła do sił. Felka najlepiej odnajdzie się w cichym, stabilnym domu, bez nadmiaru bodźców. Może zamieszkać z innym spokojnym kotem w podobnym wieku. To idealna kandydatka dla osoby, która rozumie potrzeby kociego seniora i jest gotowa zapewnić jej troskliwą opiekę oraz regularne kontrole weterynaryjne. Czego potrzebuje Felka? spokojnego i bezpiecznego domu uważnej, odpowiedzialnej opieki stabilnych warunków sprzyjających rekonwalescencji W zamian oferuje to, co najpiękniejsze – delikatną obecność, czułość i ogromną wdzięczność. Felka to kotka, która nie prosi o wiele, ale bardzo zasługuje na drugą szansę. Warunki schroniskowe nie sprzyjają jej zdrowieniu, dlatego pilnie szukamy dla niej domu, w którym będzie mogła spokojnie żyć i dochodzić do sił. Jeśli możesz podarować jej takie miejsce – skontaktuj się z nami. 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 Felka

What life with Felka looks like

Felka is a small 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.

Note from the shelter: Polycystic kidney disease requiring nephrologist care, all teeth removed, previous right paw surgery (fully recovered)

🇵🇱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 Felka, answered.

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