How do I contact the shelter about Kretek?

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

Can I adopt Kretek if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Zabrze 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 Kretek 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 Kretek 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 Zabrze early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kretek 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.

Kretek

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Hello, I'm Kretek! I'm a few years old tomcat who came to the shelter on July 31, 2026 from Knurowska Street. I don't know why my previous life led me here, but I know one thing - I really want to have my human forever. I am an extremely nice, gentle and loving cat. I love people and would love to spend all day close to them - cuddling is definitely one of my favorite activities! I am also curious, polite and love to play. I can get along with other cats, but I think I dream the most of being a single cat and having my own family. After all, so much love needs to be placed somewhere! I use the litter box beautifully. I have already been vaccinated, dewormed and chipped, I am also castrated - so I have everything... except my own home. Maybe you will show me how it is to fall asleep next to your human and know that you never have to look for a home again? Come and meet me. I promise I'll try to steal your heart from the first purr.

Cześć, jestem Kretek! Jestem kilkuletnim kocurkiem, który trafił do schroniska 31 lipca 2026 roku z ul. Knurowskiej. Nie wiem, dlaczego moje wcześniejsze życie potoczyło się tak, że znalazłem się tutaj, ale wiem jedno – bardzo chciałbym już mieć swojego człowieka na zawsze. Jestem niezwykle miłym, łagodnym i kochającym kotem. Uwielbiam ludzi i najchętniej spędzałbym całe dnie blisko nich – przytulanie to zdecydowanie jedna z moich ulubionych czynności! Jestem też ciekawski, grzeczny i chętnie się bawię. Potrafię dogadać się z innymi kotami, ale chyba najbardziej marzę o tym, żeby zostać kocim jedynakiem i mieć swoją rodzinkę tylko dla siebie. W końcu tyle miłości trzeba gdzieś ulokować! Pięknie korzystam z kuwety. Zostałem już zaszczepiony, odrobaczony i zaczipowany, jestem również wykastrowany – czyli właściwie mam już wszystko… poza własnym domem.Może właśnie Ty pokażesz mi, jak to jest zasypiać obok swojego człowieka i wiedzieć, że już nigdy nie trzeba szukać domu? Przyjdź mnie poznać. Obiecuję, że postaram się skraść Ci serce od pierwszego mruczenia.

About Kretek

What life with Kretek looks like

Kretek is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

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.
