INES

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Meet Ines - a cat who needs peace, patience and time to realize that humans are okay. Ines is not a cat who immediately seeks attention. She's a delicate individualist who feels best in quiet and peaceful places. She likes to observe her surroundings from a safe hiding spot and appears when she senses something delicious or feeding time arrives. She gets along very well with other cats, so she could live with a feline companion. The presence of a calm cat can help her gain more confidence in her new home. We are looking for an owner who will understand Ines' needs and allow her to open up at her own pace. This is a cat who doesn't expect much - primarily a sense of security and the chance to live a quiet life by the side of a patient human.

Poznaj Ines – kotkę, która potrzebuje przede wszystkim spokoju, cierpliwości i czasu, aby przekonać się, że człowiek jest w porządku. Ines nie jest kotką, która od razu zabiega o uwagę. To delikatna indywidualistka, która najlepiej czuje się w cichych i spokojnych miejscach. Lubi obserwować otoczenie z bezpiecznej kryjówki i pojawia się wtedy, gdy wyczuje coś pysznego lub nadejdzie pora karmienia. W kontaktach z innymi kotami radzi sobie bardzo dobrze, dlatego mogłaby zamieszkać z kocim towarzyszem. Obecność spokojnego kota może pomóc jej nabrać większej pewności siebie w nowym domu. Szukamy dla Ines opiekuna, który zrozumie jej potrzeby i pozwoli jej otwierać się we własnym tempie. To kotka, która nie oczekuje wiele – przede wszystkim poczucia bezpieczeństwa i szansy na spokojne życie u boku cierpliwego człowieka.

About INES

What life with INES looks like

INES is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko Świdnica 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. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting INES, answered.

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