Karioka

Female · Adult · 4 years

Karioka – a wonderful and sensitive cat in need 🐾 Karioka is a young, delicate cat who is very uncomfortable with the place she is in… She is clearly scared, lost, and overwhelmed by her surroundings 😔 It's obvious she had a home. She misses people, peace, and kindness. As soon as someone gives her a moment, she shows great gratitude through her purring – as if she wants to say "thank you for being" 💔➡️❤️ We are asking very much for a home for Karioki, so she can leave the cage she feels trapped and uneasy in as soon as possible. She really needs closeness and a sense of security. Please take a look at the pre-adoption questionnaire: Before adoption, make sure your home/apartment is safe and properly prepared for a new family member. Warning: If you decide to adopt a cat or are considering it, please bring a carrier or transport bag with you to the animal shelter.

Karioka – cudowna i wrażliwa kotka w potrzebie 🐾 Karioka to młoda, delikatna kotka, która bardzo źle znosi miejsce, w którym się znalazła… Jest wyraźnie wystraszona, zagubiona i przytłoczona otoczeniem 😔 Widać, że miała dom. Tęskni za człowiekiem, za spokojem i czułością. Gdy tylko ktoś poświęci jej chwilę, oddaje się mizianiu z ogromną wdzięcznością – jakby chciała powiedzieć „dziękuję, że jesteś” 💔➡️❤️ Bardzo prosimy o dom dla Karioki, aby jak najszybciej mogła opuścić klatkę, w której czuje się osaczona i niespokojna. Ona naprawdę potrzebuje bliskości i poczucia bezpieczeństwa. Zapraszamy do zapoznania się z ankietą przedadopcyjną: 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 Karioka

What life with Karioka looks like

Karioka is a small 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.

Note from the shelter: Very scared and stressed in shelter environment, needs patient owner to help with anxiety

🇵🇱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 Karioka, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Karioka?
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 Karioka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Karioka 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 Karioka 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 Karioka 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 Karioka 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.
