Kawka (i Kotwica)

Mixed Breed · Female

Kawka came to the foundation from Szczyty along with children Kotwica, Bełkot and Kotron. She is currently living with Kotwica in a temporary home and they are both looking for a new home together. Kawka is already an adult cat, which means it takes her much longer to get used to her surroundings. In the first weeks she hid as far and as deep as she could (under the desk, the bed or the sofa). She only went for food and the toilet when we were asleep or not at home. Despite her fear, she protected Kotwica and tried to take care of her, always sleeping next to her. She is very protective of Kotwica. Now Kawka is at the stage of exploring, getting used to and getting to know the caregivers. She doesn't run away that much anymore, plays with the younger kitten (usually they either fight or run around the whole apartment), allows petting (when she's asleep), and sometimes even comes to the bed. She still runs away whenever someone moves, but tries to make contact. Because she has only one eye, she sometimes doesn't notice something and bumps into us or Kotwica. There is no question of picking her up, so trimming her claws is a slight challenge. She is still withdrawn and you have to be careful not to scare her, but I think we are on the right track. We are looking for a joint, non-escape, loving, safe home for Kawka and Kotwica, with a secured balcony (if there is one) and/or windows, which will offer them the best care. WARNING!

Kawka razem z dziećmi Kotwicą, Bełkotem i Kotronem, przyjechała do fundacji z Szczytów, obecnie mieszka z Kotwicą w domu tymczasowym i wspólnie szukają nowego domu. Kawka jest już dorosłym kotkiem przez co oswajanie się z otoczeniem zajmuje jej znacznie więcej czasu. Przez pierwsze tygodnie chowała się jak tylko najdalej i najgłębiej mogła (pod biurkiem, łóżkiem czy kanapą). Na jedzenie i toaletę wychodziła tylko jak spaliśmy albo nie było nas w domu. Mimo strachu pilnowała Kotwicy i starała się nią opiekować, prawie zawsze spała przy niej. Jest wobec Kotwicy bardzo opiekuńcza. Teraz Kawka jest na etapie zwiedzania, oswajania się i poznawania opiekunów. Nie ucieka już aż tak bardzo, bawi się razem z młodszą kotką (zazwyczaj albo się biją albo ganiają po całym mieszkaniu), daje się głaskać (jak śpi), a czasami nawet przyjdzie na łózko. Jeszcze ucieka jak tylko się ktoś ruszy, ale stara się nawiązać kontakt. Przez to że nie ma jednego oczka, czasami czegoś nie zauważy i wpadnie w nas albo w Kotwice. O braniu na ręce nie ma mowy więc obcinanie pazurów jest lekkim wyzwaniem. Ciągle jest wycofana i trzeba uważać żeby jej nie wystraszyć, ale myślę że jesteśmy na dobrej drodze. Szukamy dla Kawki i Kotwicy wspólnego, niewychodzącego, kochającego, bezpiecznego domu, z zabezpieczonym balkonem (jeśli jest) i/lub oknami, który otoczy je najlepszą opieką. UWAGA!

Frequently asked

Adopting Kawka (i Kotwica), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kawka (i Kotwica)?
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 Kawka (i Kotwica) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kawka (i Kotwica) 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 Kawka (i Kotwica) 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 Kawka (i Kotwica) 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 Kawka (i Kotwica) 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.
