Grosik

Mixed Breed · Male

Grosik appeared in the winter in a colony of free-roaming cats in a village near Zgierz. He didn't look good even then - he was very thin, and his right eye showed signs of a serious disease. The problem is that the tomcat appeared irregularly and for a long time successfully avoided the trap, not giving much chance to help him. Only in the summer did he start to visit the feeding place regularly, and his caretaker patiently got him used to the transporter. Finally, the plan succeeded - Grosik entered the middle for food, the doors closed, and he came under our care ❤️. It quickly turned out that this barely one-and-a-half-year-old tomcat had already accumulated quite a lot of health problems. Grosik had a severe cat flu in the past, which permanently damaged his right eye. The tomcat no longer sees it and the sight cannot be restored. As long as the eye remains calm and does not cause recurring infections or discomfort, there is no need to remove it. If in the future it starts to cause problems, it will be necessary to remove the remains of the eyeball. The most urgent problem Grosik turned out to be his teeth. The condition of his oral cavity was really bad, and the sick teeth caused him pain 🦷. The tomcat has already undergone the first stage of sanation, but he still has the second part of the dental treatment ahead of him. He has also been neutered, blood tests and FIV/FeLV tests, which fortunately gave a negative result. Initially, it was difficult for us to say what Grosik really was. He endured quarantine poorly, and being locked in a cage was definitely not something he intended to accept without loudly expressing his dissatisfaction 😅. Only when the quarantine was over and Grosik moved to one of the rooms of Mruczarnia, we got to know his true face. And it turned out that he was an absolute cuddler, cuddler and a live silver in one 😻. He is cheerful, energetic, curious and everywhere he is. He loves contact with people, constantly looks for caresses, and is just as happy to seek the company of other cats. In short - a young, a bit reckless tomcat, who apparently decided to make up for all the pleasures he lacked during his life in the wild 😸. As soon as we deal with his treatment, we will start looking for the best home for him. Grosik is a charming, pro-human tomcat, and we have a huge hope that he will not have to wait long for his own family 🍀. Before we start packing his suitcases, we must finish the treatment. That's why we ask you to support Grosik's collection and help cover the costs of his castration, diagnostics and dental treatment: pl/grosik-fpk. We will bring this rogue to full health, and then there will only be left to find someone who will fall in love with him as much as Grosik has had time to fall in love with people. ❤️

PL·Show original

Grosik pojawił się zimą w stadzie kotów wolno żyjących w jednej z miejscowości pod Zgierzem. Już wtedy nie wyglądał dobrze – był bardzo chudy, a jego prawe oko nosiło ślady poważnej choroby. Problem w tym, że kocurek pojawiał się nieregularnie i przez długi czas skutecznie omijał klatkę-łapkę, nie dając większych szans na udzielenie mu pomocy. Dopiero latem zaczął regularniej odwiedzać miejsce dokarmiania, a jego karmicielka cierpliwie przyzwyczajała go do transportera. W końcu plan się powiódł – Grosik wszedł do środka za jedzeniem, drzwiczki się zamknęły, a on trafił pod naszą opiekę ❤️. Szybko okazało się, że ten zaledwie półtoraroczny kocurek zdążył już zebrać całkiem pokaźny bagaż problemów zdrowotnych. Grosik przeszedł w przeszłości ciężki koci katar, który trwale uszkodził jego prawe oko. Kocurek już na nie nie widzi i wzroku nie uda się przywrócić. Dopóki jednak oko pozostaje spokojne i nie powoduje nawracających infekcji ani dyskomfortu, nie ma potrzeby jego usuwania. Jeśli w przyszłości zacznie sprawiać problemy, konieczne będzie usunięcie pozostałości gałki ocznej. Najpilniejszym problemem Grosika okazały się jednak zęby. Stan jego jamy ustnej był naprawdę fatalny, a chore zęby sprawiały mu ból 🦷. Kocurek przeszedł już pierwszy etap sanacji, ale przed nim jeszcze druga część leczenia stomatologicznego. Jest również po kastracji, badaniach krwi oraz testach FIV/FeLV, które na szczęście dały wynik ujemny. Początkowo trudno było nam natomiast powiedzieć, jaki Grosik jest naprawdę. Kwarantannę znosił kiepsko, a zamknięcie w klatce zdecydowanie nie należało do rzeczy, z którymi zamierzał się pogodzić bez głośnego wyrażenia swojego niezadowolenia 😅. Dopiero kiedy kwarantanna dobiegła końca i Grosik przeprowadził się do jednego z pokojów Mruczarni, poznaliśmy jego prawdziwe oblicze. I okazało się, że to absolutny miziak, przytulak i żywe srebro w jednym 😻. Jest radosny, energiczny, ciekawski i wszędzie go pełno. Uwielbia kontakt z człowiekiem, nieustannie wygląda pieszczot, a równie chętnie szuka towarzystwa innych kotów. Krótko mówiąc – młody, trochę narwany kocurek, który najwyraźniej postanowił nadrobić wszystkie przyjemności, których brakowało mu podczas życia na wolności 😸. Gdy tylko uporamy się z jego leczeniem, zaczniemy rozglądać się dla niego za najlepszym domem. Grosik jest przeuroczym, proludzkim kocurkiem i mamy ogromną nadzieję, że na własną rodzinę nie będzie musiał długo czekać 🍀. Zanim jednak zaczniemy pakować jego walizki, musimy dokończyć leczenie. Dlatego bardzo prosimy Was o wsparcie zbiórki Grosika i pomoc w pokryciu kosztów jego kastracji, diagnostyki oraz leczenia stomatologicznego: pl/grosik-fpk . My doprowadzimy tego łobuza do pełni zdrowia, a później pozostanie już tylko znaleźć kogoś, kto zakocha się w nim równie mocno, jak Grosik zdążył zakochać się w ludziach. ❤️

About Grosik

What life with Grosik looks like

Grosik is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at PrzytulKota in Poland.

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. Adopters usually cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Grosik, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Grosik?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. PrzytulKota handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Grosik on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Grosik if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — PrzytulKota 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Grosik 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 Grosik 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 PrzytulKota early rather than rehoming privately; they know Grosik 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.
