Heban is looking for a home ❤️ SHOULD HEBAN LOSE OUT ON LIFE BECAUSE HE'S BLACK AND SICK? Two years. That's how old Heban is. And he's been with us at the foundation since he was a tiny kitten...Two years of waiting for someone to say, "This is my cat. This is your home. You'll never have to wait again."We've put him up for adoption. Unfortunately, no one has called. No one has asked about this black boy. Do black cats really have less chance of being loved? Does illness make them less adoptable?Heban has intestinal problems (IBD), but with the right food, he functions normally. He's not expecting miracles. He just needs a responsible owner, proper nutrition, and a little bit of heart.Is that really so much?Heban is not worse. He's not less loved. He's not a cat whose life should pass behind foundation bars just because he's black and requires a special diet.How much longer does he have to wait? Another year? Five years? Or will no one ever give him a chance?Let's not let his story be the story of a cat that everyone avoided. Heban is looking for his human. Someone who will look at him with their heart, not through the lens of fur color or illness.We ask for adoption or sharing. Maybe thanks to you, Heban will finally find his home.Let his life begin for real. Not behind foundation bars, but by the side of a person who will love him.Kotikowo Foundation, GdańskRequirements:** Home that doesn't let him roam freely, secured, good food, and a signed adoption contract.

Heban szuka domu ❤️ CZY HEBAN MA PRZEGRAĆ ŻYCIE, BO JEST CZARNY I CHORUJE? Dwa lata. Tyle ma Heban. A w fundacji jest z nami od maleńkiego kociaka…Dwa lata czekania na kogoś, kto powie: „To właśnie Ty jesteś moim kotem. To Twój dom. Już nigdy nie będziesz musiał czekać”.Ogłaszaliśmy go do adopcji. Niestety, nikt nie zadzwonił. Nikt nie zapytał o tego czarnego chłopaka. Czy czarne koty naprawdę mają mniejsze szanse na miłość? Czy choroba sprawia, że przestają być warte adopcji?Heban ma problemy jelitowe (IBD), ale przy odpowiedniej karmie gastro funkcjonuje normalnie. Nie oczekuje cudów. Potrzebuje tylko odpowiedzialnego opiekuna, właściwego żywienia i odrobiny serca.Czy to naprawdę tak wiele?Heban nie jest gorszy. Nie jest mniej kochany. Nie jest kotem, którego życie powinno upłynąć za fundacyjnymi kratami tylko dlatego, że jest czarny i wymaga szczególnej diety.Ile jeszcze ma czekać? Kolejny rok? Pięć lat? A może nikt nigdy nie da mu szansy?Nie pozwólmy, by jego historia była historią kota, którego wszyscy omijali. Heban szuka swojego człowieka. Takiego, który spojrzy na niego sercem, a nie przez pryzmat koloru futerka czy choroby. Prosimy o adopcję lub udostępnienie. Może właśnie dzięki Tobie Heban wreszcie znajdzie swój dom.Niech jego życie zacznie się naprawdę. Nie za kratami fundacji, ale u boku człowieka, który go pokocha. Fundacja Kotikowo, Gdańsk Wymagania:** dom niewypuszczający samopas, zabezpieczony, dobra karma oraz podpisana umowa adopcyjna.

About Heban

What life with Heban looks like

Heban is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja KOTIKOWO 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 Heban, answered.

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