How do I contact the shelter about Karol?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja Puszatek handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Karol on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Karol if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Puszatek 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 Karol 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 Karol 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 Puszatek early rather than rehoming privately; they know Karol 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.

Karol

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 11 months

Karolek - 11 years of dignity and a heart broken in half 💔 My name is Karolek. I am 11 years old and I have known only one, beloved face all my life. The face of my owner. Unfortunately, she left me forever, and I, an elderly and dignified tomcat, was left alone. My world, which I knew, collapsed in an instant. I am currently in Tabby's cat senior home, where I am safe, but I miss a lot. I don't understand why my loved ones don't come to me anymore. It's a huge stress for me, although I try not to show it. I am a cat with class. Here's what I am like: Dignified: As you can see from my photos, I am a proud, beautiful cat with a classic coat. I carry the wisdom of years and a quiet, calm heart. Gentle and calm: I am no longer a young man, I will not jump on chandeliers. I dream of a quiet armchair on which I could curl up. Friendly: After the acclimatization period, when I trust you, I will be a faithful companion. I like caresses, in return quiet purring and my presence. Healthy (as far as we know): My health is stable. I am neutered, dewormed and vaccinated. Clean: I always go to the litter box, I take care of my fur. My dream of a new home: I don't have big demands. I am looking for a home where I can spend the rest of my life with dignity. I dream of: 🏡 An indoor home - it will be the safest for me, I am too old for city adventures. ❤️ A patient and loving caregiver who will understand my grief and give me time to accept the new situation. 🤫 Peace and quiet, ideally without small children, who could stress me out. 🐈 A place as the only cat, or with a very calm feline or dog companion, after acquaintance. I lost everything I loved. Don't let me die of longing. Give me a chance, and I will become your most loyal friend and purring companion in the evenings. Will Karolek find his new haven with you?

Karolek – 11 lat godności i serce pęknięte na pół 💔 Nazywam się Karolek. Mam 11 lat i przez całe moje życie znałem tylko jedną, ukochaną twarz. Twarz mojej Pani. Niestety, odeszła ode mnie na zawsze, a ja, sędziwy i dostojny kocur, zostałem sam. Mój świat, który znałem, zawalił się w jednej chwili. Obecnie przebywam w Tabby kocim domu seniora, gdzie jestem bezpieczny, ale bardzo tęsknię. Nie rozumiem, dlaczego moi bliscy już po mnie nie przychodzą. To dla mnie ogromny stres, choć staram się go nie okazywać. Jestem przecież kotem z klasą. Oto jaki jestem: Dostojny: Jak widać na moich zdjęciach, jestem dumnym, pięknym kotem o klasycznym umaszczeniu. Noszę w sobie mądrość lat i ciche, spokojne serce. Łagodny i spokojny: Nie jestem już młodzieniaszkiem, nie będę skakał po żyrandolach. Marzę o spokojnym fotelu, na którym mógłbym zwijać się w kłębek. Przyjazny: Po okresie aklimatyzacji, gdy już Ci zaufam, będę wiernym towarzyszem. Lubię pieszczoty, zamian ciche mruczenie i moją obecność. Zdrowy (na tyle, na ile wiemy): Mój stan zdrowia jest stabilny. Jestem wykastrowany, odrobaczony i zaszczepiony. Czysty: Zawsze trafiam do kuwety, dbam o swoje futerko. Moje marzenie o nowym domu: Nie mam wielkich wymagań. Szukam domu, w którym będę mógł godnie spędzić resztę mojego życia. Marzę o: 🏡 Domu nie wychodzącym – tak będzie dla mnie najbezpieczniej, jestem już za stary na miejskie przygody. ❤️ Cierpliwym i kochającym opiekunie, który zrozumie mój żal i da mi czas na zaakceptowanie nowej sytuacji. 🤫 Spokoju i ciszy, idealnie bez małych dzieci, które mogłyby mnie stresować. 🐈 Miejscu jako jedyny kot, lub z bardzo spokojnym kocim lub psim towarzyszem, po wcześniejszym zapoznaniu. Straciłem wszystko, co kochałem. Nie pozwól mi umrzeć z tęsknoty. Daj mi szansę, a stanę się Twoim najwierniejszym przyjacielem i mruczącym towarzyszem wieczorów. Czy Karolek znajdzie u Ciebie swoją nową przystań?

About Karol

What life with Karol looks like

Karol is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇵🇱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.
