Ksena

Female · Adult · 6 years

Ksena is a tiny, delicate kitten with a very gentle and calm personality. 💚 She was rescued as a kitten from a place where she likely wouldn’t have had a chance to survive. Today, she is safe, but she still searches for her peaceful place in the world and a person who will love her for who she is. Ksena is a cautious cat in contact with people and needs time to feel secure. She is not a typical clingy lap cat – she can approach, lie next to a person, or be petted, but everything happens on her terms and when she feels like it. She does not enjoy being carried and will definitely find it better in a quiet, predictable atmosphere. 😊 Ksena is looking for a home without young children because excess noise and a highly stimulating environment would be stressful for her. She will find her best match with a patient person who will allow her to build trust gradually and will not expect immediate closeness. The presence of other cats should not bother her — she can live with a gentle feline companion or as a single cat if the home is peaceful and full of understanding.

Ksena to drobna, filigranowa koteczka o bardzo delikatnym i spokojnym charakterze. 💚 Została zabrana jeszcze jako podrostek z miejsca, w którym najprawdopodobniej nie miałaby szans na przeżycie. Dziś jest już bezpieczna, ale nadal szuka swojego spokojnego miejsca na świecie i człowieka, który pokocha ją taką, jaka jest. To kotka ostrożna w kontakcie z ludźmi i potrzebująca czasu, aby poczuć się pewnie. Nie jest typem wylewnego miziaka – potrafi podejść, położyć się obok człowieka czy dać się pogłaskać, ale wszystko odbywa się na jej zasadach i wtedy, kiedy sama ma na to ochotę. Nie przepada za noszeniem na rękach i zdecydowanie lepiej odnajduje się w spokojnej, przewidywalnej atmosferze. 😊 Ksena szuka domu bez małych dzieci, ponieważ nadmiar hałasu i intensywne otoczenie byłyby dla niej dużym stresem. Najlepiej odnajdzie się u cierpliwej osoby, która pozwoli jej stopniowo budować zaufanie i nie będzie oczekiwała natychmiastowej bliskości. Towarzystwo innych kotów nie powinno jej przeszkadzać — może zamieszkać zarówno z łagodnym kocim kompanem, jak i jako jedynaczka, jeśli dom będzie spokojny i pełen wyrozumiałości.

About Ksena

What life with Ksena looks like

Ksena is a adult cat waiting at Fundacja Dla Zwierząt Animalia Poznań in Poznań.

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 Ksena, answered.

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