How do I contact the shelter about Frances?

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 Frances on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Frances 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 Frances 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 Frances 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 Frances 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.

Frances

Female · Kitten · 3 months

Frances is a beautiful, small white-and-brown kitten with a fluffy coat. Unfortunately, the situation she is in is difficult for her and at the moment she still feels uncertain. She is cautious in her interactions with humans and needs time to feel safe. Currently, Frances prefers to stay in her kennel, where she can hide from the unknown surroundings and calmly observe everything from a safe distance. However, we believe that over time, as she feels more confident, she will become bolder and open up to the presence and contact with humans. Frances needs above all peace, patience, and a sense of security. She needs a caregiver who will allow her to decide on the pace of building relationships on her own and who will be able to appreciate every, even the smallest step towards greater trust. Before adoption, we suggest filling out the pre-adoption questionnaire and arriving at the shelter with the completed questionnaire: Note: When deciding on the adoption of a cat or considering it, be sure to take a transporter or a transport bag for cats with you to the shelter. Before adoption, make sure your home / apartment is safe and properly prepared to accept a new family member. Remember to secure windows and balcony. If you have a resident cat, bring the results of FIV and FeLV tests.

Frances to piękna, mała biało-bura koteczka o puszystym futerku. Niestety sytuacja, w której się znalazła, jest dla niej trudna i na ten moment czuje się jeszcze niepewnie. Jest ostrożna w kontaktach z człowiekiem i potrzebuje czasu, aby poczuć się bezpiecznie. Obecnie Frances najchętniej przebywa w swojej budce, gdzie może schować się przed nieznanym otoczeniem i spokojnie obserwować wszystko z bezpiecznej odległości. Wierzymy jednak, że z czasem, gdy poczuje się pewniej, będzie coraz śmielej otwierać się na obecność i kontakt z człowiekiem. Frances potrzebuje przede wszystkim spokoju, cierpliwości i poczucia bezpieczeństwa. Potrzebuje opiekuna, który pozwoli jej samodzielnie decydować o tempie budowania relacji i będzie potrafił docenić każdy, nawet najmniejszy krok w stronę większego zaufania. Przed adopcją sugerujemy zapoznanie się z kwestionariuszem przedadopcyjnym i przyjazd do schroniska z już wypełnioną ankietą: Uwaga: Decydując się na adopcję kota lub rozważając ją, koniecznie weź ze sobą do schroniska transporter lub torbę transportową do przewozu kotów. Przed adopcją upewnij się, że Twój dom / mieszkanie jest bezpieczne i odpowiednio przygotowane do przyjęcia nowego członka rodziny. Pamiętaj, żeby zabezpieczyć okna i balkon. Jeśli masz kota rezydenta, zabierz ze sobą wyniki testów FIV i FeLV.

About Frances

What life with Frances looks like

Frances is a small puppy/kitten cat waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇵🇱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.
