Karmelek

Mixed Breed · Male

Karmelek came to the foundation from Nowy Targ, and now lives in a temporary home, waiting for adoption. Karmelek is a carrier of the FIV virus. Because of his condition and character, we are looking for a home where he will be an only cat. Karmelek is a mewing, lazy fat cat. The kitten doesn't really like playing, but LOVES eating. He is calm, likes to purr (especially when a can is visible on the horizon). He is not a typical clingy cat - he likes spending time with a person, sometimes being picked up and cuddled, but he also likes his own space. Sometimes during petting, he grabs with his claws and likes to nibble - often quite painfully. It's hard to say if this is aggression or just a passing boundary - because even during such an unpleasant treatment, he continues to purr. If you try to do something he doesn't agree to - for example, wiping his paws - he can hiss and slap with his paw, defending his boundaries. From Karmelku, you can see that life in the wild has left its mark, but you can also see that the kitten needs a person, likes him and opens up. He just needs time and the owner's knowledge. He perfectly uses the litter box and scratching post, tolerates medium-sized dogs. We don't recommend him for a home with small children. Best for someone with cat experience. We don't know his relationship with other cats, but he is currently very happy as an only cat. We are looking for a quiet, loving, safe home for Karmelku, with a secured balcony (if there is one) and/or windows, which will surround him with the best care. WARNING!

Karmelek przyjechał do fundacji z Nowego Targu, obecnie mieszka w domu tymczasowym, gdzie czeka na adopcję. Karmelek jest nosicielem wirusa FIV, ze względu na nosicielstwo choroby i charakter szukamy mu domu w którym będzie jedynakiem. Karmelek to mruczący, leniwy grubasek. Kotek nie bardzo lubi zabawy, ale KOCHA jedzenie. Jest spokojny, lubi sobie pomruczeć (zwłaszcza jak na horyzoncie widnieje puszka). Nie jest to typowa przylepa- bardzo lubi spędzać czas z człowiekiem, czasem być branym na rączki i się przytulać, ale lubi też własną przestrzeń. Czasem pod czas głaskania chwyta pazurkami dłonie i lubi podgryzać- często dotkliwie. Ciężko powiedzieć czy jest to agresja czy przechodząca granicę zabawa- bo podczas tak niemiłego traktowania człowieka dalej mruczy Jeżeli będziesz próbował zrobić coś na co nie daje zgody- jak na przykład wytrzeć łapki- potrafi syknąć i pacnąć łapką, broniąc swoich granic. Po Karmelku widać, że życie na wolności zostawiło po sobie ślad, ale widać też że kotek potrzebuje człowieka, lubi go i się otwiera. Po prostu potrzebuje czasu i wiedzy właściciela. Bezbłędnie korzysta z kuwetki i drapaka, toleruje średniej wielkości pieski. Nie polecamy do domu z małymi dziećmi. Najlepiej osoba z kocim doświadczeniem. Nie znamy stosunku do innych kotków ale obecnie bardzo dobrze się czuje jako jedynak. Szukamy dla Karmelka niewychodzącego, kochającego, bezpiecznego domu, z zabezpieczonym balkonem (jeśli jest) i/lub oknami, który otoczy go najlepszą opieką. UWAGA!

About Karmelek

What life with Karmelek looks like

Karmelek is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja Stawiamy na Łapy 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 Karmelek, answered.

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