Jacob

Male · Young · 1 year

Jacob is a calm and gentle kitten who, at first glance, may seem a bit shy. He’s not the type of cat who immediately seeks attention from humans. Instead, he prefers to observe, get to know his surroundings, and make sure nothing poses a threat to him. It takes him a moment to feel safe, but once he gains your trust, he reveals his true, very friendly personality. He’s a kind and unobtrusive cat who values peaceful relationships built at his own pace. He doesn’t impose himself, yet over time he increasingly enjoys human company and becomes more open to interaction. It’s clear that he has tremendous potential waiting to blossom in a patient and loving home. The kitten recently underwent a canine tooth extraction, and his recovery is going smoothly. We’re looking for a calm and responsible home for Jacob—one that will give him plenty of time to build a relationship without any rush. We believe that with a understanding and patient caregiver by his side, this special kitten will grow more and more confident, showing just how much he has to offer. We invite you to fill out our pre-adoption questionnaire and come visit the shelter with the completed form already prepared. Before adopting, please make sure your home or apartment is safe and properly prepared to welcome a new family member. Please note: If you decide to adopt a cat or are considering adoption, be sure to bring a carrier or transport bag for cats to the shelter.

Jacob to spokojny i łagodny kocurek, który na pierwszy rzut oka może wydawać się nieco nieśmiały. Nie należy do kotów, które od razu zabiegają o uwagę człowieka. Woli najpierw obserwować, poznać otoczenie i upewnić się, że nic mu nie grozi. Potrzebuje chwili, aby poczuć się bezpiecznie, ale kiedy już nabierze zaufania, pokazuje swoje prawdziwe, bardzo sympatyczne oblicze. To miły i nienachalny kot, który ceni spokojne relacje budowane we własnym tempie. Nie narzuca się, jednak z czasem coraz chętniej korzysta z obecności człowieka i otwiera się na kontakt. Widać, że drzemie w nim ogromny potencjał, który będzie miał szansę rozkwitnąć w cierpliwym i kochającym domu. Kotek niedawno przybył zabiegu ekstrakcji kła a rekonwalescencja przebiega wzorowo. Szukamy dla Jacoba spokojnego i odpowiedzialnego domu, który da mu czas na budowanie relacji bez pośpiechu. Wierzymy, że przy boku wyrozumiałego opiekuna ten wyjątkowy kocurek coraz śmielej będzie pokazywał, jak wiele ma do zaoferowania. Zapraszamy do zapoznania się z ankietą przedadopcyjną i przyjazd do schroniska z już wypełnioną ankietą: Przed adopcją upewnij się, że Twój dom / mieszkanie jest bezpieczne i odpowiednio przygotowane do przyjęcia nowego członka rodziny. Uwaga: Decydując się na adopcję kota lub rozważając ją, koniecznie weź ze sobą do schroniska transporter lub torbę transportową do przewozu kotów

About Jacob

What life with Jacob looks like

Jacob is a small young adult cat waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

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 Jacob, answered.

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