Adopt Grunia

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Grunia arrived as a wild cat and remains a wild cat. She could not return to where she was living, because if she did, she would die of starvation. We decided to take her in, keeping in mind that we will not be able to tame her. It is difficult in a group of animals... The only chance is a home and work with a caretaker. When we try to play with her and build a relationship, other animals immediately appear next to us, and Grunia withdraws. We have no chances. We believe that someone reading this post will find her and give her time and a chance - a life without stress. What is she like? Grunia spends her day watching birds (she talks to them every day), lying on the scratching post, watching the cats playing. She is uncertain and distrustful, even afraid to eat from the same bowl as others, she steps back and moves away. Important: she does not run away in panic at our sight, but observes. She leads a very calm lifestyle, without madness or foolishness. She is a small delicate kitten, which will not grow any bigger. We would very much like for her to find her home, we are sure she will manage - she just needs a quiet place and a patient caregiver. Important information - Spayed - De-wormed - Microchipped - Vaccinated - FIV/FeLV tests - negative result - Can live with a cat, but one that will not dominate her - Not suitable for a home with children - Lives on Warsaw's Wola - Adoption only Warsaw and surroundings

Historia Grunia przyjechała jako dziki kot i takim kotem nadal jest Nie mogla wrócić w miejsce bytowania, gdyby się tak stało umarłaby śmiercią głodową. Zdecydowaliśmy się ją przyjąć, mając na uwadze to, że nie uda się nam jej oswoić. Ciężko jest w gromadzie zwierząt… Jedyna szansa to dom i praca z opiekunem. Kiedy próbujemy się z nią bawić i nawiązać relacje, natychmiast obok nas pojawiają się inni podopieczni, a Grunia się wycofuje. Jesteśmy bez szans. Wierzymy, że znajdzie się wśród czytających post ktoś taki, kto podaruje jej czas i da szansę – na życie bez stresu. Jaka jest? Grunia swój dzień spędza na obserwowaniu ptaków (rozmawia sobie z nimi każdego dnia), leżeniu na drapaku, obserwowaniu zabaw kotów. Jest niepewna i nieufna, boi się nawet jeść z innymi z jednej miski, ustępuje i odchodzi. Ważne: nie ucieka w popłochu na nasz widok, lecz obserwuje. Prowadzi bardzo spokojny tryb życia, bez szaleństw i głupot. To niewielka filigranowa koteczka, która już większa nie urośnie. Bardzo byśmy chcieli, żeby znalazła swój dom, jesteśmy pewni, że, się ogarnie” – potrzebuje tylko spokojnego miejsca i cierpliwego opiekuna. Ważne informacje – Wysterylizowana – Odrobaczona – Zaczipowana – Zaszczepiona – Testy FIV/FeLV – wynik ujemny – Może zamieszkać z kotem, ale takim który jej nie zdominuje – Nie nadaje się do domu z dziećmi – Przebywa na warszawskiej Woli – adopcja tylko Warszawa i okolice

About Grunia

What life with Grunia looks like

Grunia is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja Psy Ulicy Warszawa 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Grunia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Grunia?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja Psy Ulicy Warszawa handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Grunia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Grunia if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Psy Ulicy Warszawa 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 Grunia 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 Grunia 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 Psy Ulicy Warszawa early rather than rehoming privately; they know Grunia 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.
