Adopt Kostek

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 9 months

The first step in the adoption process is the adoption questionnaire: The main stages of the entire process are described on our website: Friendly and trouble-free kitten. Kostek, affectionately called Kostek-Gostek, is a large, healthy, and full of cat power little cat. Due to his history, he needs a moment to trust a new person, but once he does, he shows his adorable nature in full beauty: he purrs, licks, begs for petting, jumps on your back and stretches out two meters. This is a cat who wants to be your friend, as long as the bowl is full and there is a moment for him. He had many ups and downs in life. As a stray cat, he was running around with a cast on his leg. Then he was taken to an adoption home, where it was nice, but it ended because people turned out to be irresponsible. He went to another home and was thrown out from there. Someone heartlessly got rid of this kitten. Caught with a head wound, when he was bravely managing on his own, thanks to a microchip he ended up back at our foundation. After eight years! And he's still a sweet kitten, Kostus, Piekarz, and Ciastko, who crushes the blanket, begging for pets. He doesn't play games, doesn't dominate, doesn't force, just pure feline love, as long as you give him time to get used to and trust. It's sad that such a cat doesn't have his Own, Permanent People Yet. He found himself in a temporary home with an elderly cat, because although he is a big cat (5 kg!), with big paws full of power (to squeeze), there is not a gram of hostility in him. Kostek appreciates simple pleasures: cold, he sits under a blanket; warm, he's on the sun. Disturbing his peace can cause growling, but it's normal for any being to set their own boundaries - mutual respect and understanding is important here. Lying down is important, peace is important, the bowl is important, petting is important, and for cat sports - cookie-biscuiting all the way.

Pierwszym krokiem procesu adopcyjnego jest ankieta adopcyjna: Główne etapy całego procesu opisujemy na naszej stronie www: Przyjacielski i bezproblemowy miziak. Kostek, pieszczotliwie, zwany Kostek-Gostek, to duży, zdrowy i pełen kociej Mocy kocur. Z racji swojej historii wymaga chwili, by zaufać nowemu człowiekowi, ale gdy już to zrobi, to okazuje swoją przekochaną naturę w pełnej krasie: barankuje, liże, dopomina się głaskania, wywala na plecki i rozciąga na dwa metry. To kot, który chce zostać twoim przyjacielem, byle miska była pełna i by mieć dla niego chwilę. Miał dużo zawirowań w życiu. Jako koci szkrab szalał w Fundacji z gipsem na łapie. Potem trafił do domu adopcyjnego, gdzie było fajnie, ale się skończyło, bo ludzie okazali się nieodpowiedzialni. Trafił do kolejnego domu i stamtąd został wyrzucony. Ktoś bez serca pozbył się tego miziaka. Złapany z raną głowy, gdy dzielnie radził sobie na wolności, dzięki czipowi trafił znów do naszej Fundacji. Po ośmiu latach! I dalej jest słodkim barankiem, Kostusiem, Piekarzem i Ciastkiem, który ugniata kocyk, dopominając się głasków. Nie kombinuje, nie dominuje, nie wymusza, po prostu sama czysta kocia miłość, byle dać mu czas na oswojenie i zaufanie. Aż żal, że taki kot nie ma jeszcze swoich Własnych, Prywatnych Ludzi na Stałe. Odnalazł się z w domy tymczasowym z kocią seniorką, bo choć to kawał kota (5 kg!), choć łapy wielkie i pełne mocy (do ugniatania), to nie ma w nim ani grama wrogości. Kostek docenia proste przyjemności: zimno, to siedzi pod kocem; ciepło, to na słońcu. Zakłócanie mu spokoju może spowodować burczenie, ale to normalne, że każda istota wyznacza swoje granice - ważny jest tu wzajemny szacunek i zrozumienie. Leżenie jest ważne, spokój jest ważny, miska jest ważna, głaskanie jest ważne i ze sportów kocich – ciasteczkowanie na całego. Wykastrowany, odrobaczony, po pierwszym szczepieniu

About Kostek

What life with Kostek looks like

Kostek 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kostek, answered.

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