How do I contact the shelter about Kurka?

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 Kurka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Kurka 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 Kurka 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 Kurka 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 Kurka and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Kurka

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Dear friends! Our blind girl Kurka ❤️ is ready to live in her own home!!!! We have big hopes that her black coat won't prevent her from finding a home!!! Kurka, the blind little black one! Sometimes, when looking for something specific, you find something completely unexpected and wonderful. That's how we found Kurka on a mushroom picking trip. In the following autumn she probably would have been named Kania or Opienka, but it was summer. The little elves were preparing for their annual sleigh races, so they raised kittens to drive the lazy mouse engines. One kitten got sick and went blind, and then instead of chasing mice, she started chasing the sports director. The elves, who are not cruel but don't have proper veterinarians at home, threw the girl into a basket for the mushroom pickers, and thus Kurka ended up among people. We don't know how it really was, where the kitten came from alone and suffering in the forest. We know that when she came to us, she was very sick, and her tiny eyes could no longer be saved. The pain made her avoid people, snort and flee like any little wild forest creature. Soon it turned out that although she had no eyes, she had powerful testicles, that she definitely wanted to live and had no intention of giving in to illness. Here's what our brave volunteer says: "There was still a lot of work ahead of us to let this child breathe with relief and peace, so we set off together. And the results? I had to run after Kurka to get her, the girl blossomed incredibly!" There was nothing left of the frightened wildcat. Now she is a joyful little kitten with an incredible appetite for this big buffet of entertainment that is life. She loves her feline companions and human caregivers, a true social butterfly. "She has an incredible energy, which she puts into being here and now with those she loves, because she sees them with her whole heart." Oh yes, heart-seeing is a typical condition of blind kittens! You know... with these little elves, it's probably not entirely true, life of Kurka didn't start fairy-tale-like, but maybe now she will find a person with whom she can realize her "happily ever after"? Kurka was born around July 2025. FIV and FeLV tests are negative. She is healthy, spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, chipped and can't wait to finally meet the person to love forever! * Our love for blind kittens knows no limits, that's why we do adoptions in Poland and abroad.

Paczacze kochani! Nasza bezoka Kurka ❤️ gotowa jest by zamieszkać w swoim własnym domu!!!! Mamy wielkie nadzieję, że jej czarne umaszczenie nie przekreśli szans na własny dom!!! Kurka, niewidoma czarnulka! Czasem tak bywa, że szukając czegoś konkretnego, znajdujemy coś zupełnie nieoczekiwanego i wspaniałego. I tak oto znaleziono Kurkę na grzybobraniu. Późniejszą jesienią pewnie miałaby na imię kania albo opieńka, ale było lato. Krasnoludki przygotowywały się do corocznych wyścigów rydwanów, hodowały więc kotki, by poganiać nimi leniwe myszy pociągowe. Jedna kociczka rozchorowała się i oślepła, a potem zamiast ścigać myszy, zaczęła ścigać dyrektora sportowego. Krasnoludki, które nie są okrutne, ale nie mają u siebie porządnych weterynarzy, podrzuciły dziewczynkę grzybiarzom do koszyczka i tak kurka znalazła się wśród ludzi. Nie wiemy, jak było naprawdę, skąd kociczka wzięła się w lesie samotna i cierpiąca. Wiemy, że kiedy do nas trafiła, była bardzo chora, a jej maleńkich oczek nie dało się już uratować. Ból sprawiał, że stroniła od ludzi, prychała i zwiewała jak każda mała leśna dzikuska. Wkrótce okazało się, że choć nie ma oczek, ma potężne cohones, że zdecydowanie zamierza żyć i ani myśli poddawać się chorobie. Oto co opowiada nasza dzielna wolontariuszka: „Wciąż było przed nami sporo pracy, aby ta dziecina odetchnęła z ulgą i spokojem, więc ruszyłyśmy razem w drogę. A efekty ? Musiałam biec za Kurką, żeby nadąrzyć, dziewczyna niesamowicie rozkwitła!". Z wypłoszonej dzikuski nic już nie zostało. Teraz to radosna młodziutka kocica z niespożytym apetytem na ten wielki bufet z rozrywkami, jakim jest dla niej życie. Uwielbia swoich kocich kamratów i ludzkich opiekunów, istna dusza towarzystwa. „Ma niespożytą energię, którą wkłada w bycie tu i teraz z tymi, których kocha, bo widzi ich całym sercem". O tak, sercowidzenie to typowa przypadłość ślepaczków! Wiecie... z tymi krasnoludkami to chyba nie do końca prawda, życie Kurki, raczej nie rozpoczęło się bajkowo, ale może teraz znajdzie człowieka, przy którym zrealizuje swoje „długo i szczęśliwie"? Kurka urodziła się w okolicach lipca 2025. Testy fiv i felv ma ujemne. Jest zdrowa, wysterylizowana, zaszczepiona, odrobaczona, zachipowana i nie może się doczekać, kiedy wreszcie pozna człowieka do pokochania na zawsze! * Nasza miłość do ślepaczków nie zna granic, dlatego prowadzimy adopcje w Polsce i za granicą. 500 383 928

About Kurka

What life with Kurka looks like

Kurka is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

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.
