How do I contact the shelter about Franek?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja Puszatek handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Franek on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Franek if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Puszatek 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 Franek 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 Franek 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 Puszatek early rather than rehoming privately; they know Franek 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.

Franek

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Franek is waiting for his dream home... Franek is about 2 years old and has been waiting for someone to love him and take him home for a very long time. He is a special tomcat. He has an unusable one paw, but it doesn't bother him in his daily life. He plays, runs, climbs and explores the world with curiosity. He only slightly leans on his paw, and because he handles it well, there was no need for amputation. Franek is an extremely loving and gentle cat. He loves cuddling, stroking and loudly purring. He gets along well with other cats, so he will also fit in a home where a feline companion already lives. He is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and protected against fleas and ticks. Franke's disability does not take away his joy of life. He is simply a wonderful cat who deserves a loving home and a person who will see his big heart, not his paw.

PL·Show original

Franek czeka na swój wymarzony dom… Franek ma około 2 lat i niestety już bardzo długo czeka, aż ktoś go pokocha i zabierze do domu. To wyjątkowy kocurek. Ma niesprawną jedną łapkę, ale w niczym nie przeszkadza mu to w codziennym życiu. Bawi się, biega, wspina i z ciekawością odkrywa świat. Na łapce jedynie delikatnie się podpiera, a ponieważ świetnie sobie z nią radzi, nie było potrzeby wykonywania amputacji. Franek jest niezwykle kochanym i łagodnym kotem. Uwielbia przytulanie, głaskanie i głośno mruczy. Doskonale dogaduje się z innymi kotami, dlatego bez problemu odnajdzie się również w domu, w którym mieszka już koci towarzysz. Jest wykastrowany, zaszczepiony, odrobaczony, zaczipowany oraz zabezpieczony przeciwko pchłom i kleszczom. Niepełnosprawność Franka nie odbiera mu radości życia. To po prostu cudowny kot, który zasługuje na kochający dom i człowieka, który dostrzeże w nim nie jego łapkę, ale jego wielkie serce. Azyl Cztery Łapy w Żychlinie (woj. łódzkie) .

About Franek

What life with Franek looks like

Franek is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja Puszatek 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.
