How do I contact the shelter about Gerta?

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

Can I adopt Gerta if I live in another country?

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

Gerta

Mixed Breed · Female

Gerta is a wonderful little cat who has been through a lot, but despite difficult experiences shows how wonderful a companion she can be. She came to us after being bitten by dogs. Thanks to the quick intervention of a person who saw the incident, Gerta avoided serious injuries. Although she was very painful and had trouble moving, after a few days of pain medication she quickly recovered her health! 💪 Currently, Gerta is in a foster home and is doing wonderfully - she behaves as if she had lived there all along! 💛 She loves human contact, and every moment on someone's lap is a reason for joy for her. As soon as she feels the warmth of a hand, she immediately starts purring. She is a gentle, calm cat who values closeness and peace. Unfortunately, Gerta suffers from kidney failure, so she needs a home that will continue to administer supplements to support their function and monitor health parameters. A quiet home without dogs would be ideal for her, and if she were to have a feline companion, it would be best if it were a calm, non-aggressive kitten. Gerta loves sleeping and relaxing in a warm corner, so she needs space where she can rest without stress. FIV/FeLV tests are negative, the cat is spayed and ready for adoption. Are you looking for a calm, loving companion for long evenings together? Gerta is waiting for you!

Gerta to cudowna koteczka, która przeszła wiele, ale mimo trudnych doświadczeń pokazuje, jak wspaniałym jest towarzyszem. Trafiła do nas po tym, jak została pogryziona przez psy. Dzięki szybkiej interwencji osoby, która widziała zdarzenie, Gerta uniknęła poważnych obrażeń. Choć była bardzo obolała i miała problemy z poruszaniem się, po kilku dniach leczenia przeciwbólowego szybko wróciła do zdrowia! 💪 Obecnie Gerta przebywa w domu tymczasowym i radzi sobie wspaniale – zachowuje się, jakby mieszkała tu od zawsze! 💛 Uwielbia kontakt z człowiekiem, a każda chwila na kolanach to dla niej powód do radości. Gdy tylko poczuje ciepło dłoni, od razu zaczyna mruczeć. To delikatna, spokojna kotka, która ceni sobie bliskość i spokój. Niestety Gerta zmaga się z niewydolnością nerek, dlatego potrzebuje domu, który będzie kontynuował podawanie preparatów wspomagających ich pracę oraz kontrolował parametry zdrowotne. Idealny byłby dla niej spokojny dom, bez psów, a jeśli miałaby mieć kociego towarzysza, najlepiej, by był to kotek spokojny i niezaczepiający. Gerta uwielbia spanie i relaks w ciepłym kącie, dlatego potrzebuje przestrzeni, gdzie będzie mogła odpoczywać bez stresu. Testy FIV/FeLV ujemne, kotka jest odrobaczona i gotowa do adopcji. Szukasz spokojnego, kochającego towarzysza na długie wspólne wieczory? Gerta czeka na Ciebie! ❤️

About Gerta

What life with Gerta looks like

Gerta is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja EkoStraż in Wrocław.

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.
