ŁAPEK

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

He came to the shelter with a paralyzed front limb. It's likely he suffered a fracture and had to function on his own for some time. We don't know how long he managed in that state or what exactly happened to him. However, we do know that his beginnings were definitely not easy. He underwent amputation at the shelter. It might seem that such a big change would be a huge limitation for a young cat, but Łapek quickly proved us wrong. Today, he's as fast as a torpedo and agile as a puma! He runs, plays, explores the world and does great on three legs. Watching his daily antics, you can sometimes really forget what he went through. He's a wonderful, full of life kitten. He uses the litter box beautifully and is a real neat freak.

Łapek trafił do schroniska z bezwładną przednią kończyną. Prawdopodobnie wcześniej doszło do złamania, z którym przez jakiś czas musiał funkcjonować zupełnie sam. Nie wiemy, jak długo radził sobie w takim stanie ani co dokładnie go spotkało. Wiemy jednak, że jego początki zdecydowanie nie należały do łatwych. W schronisku przeszedł amputację. Mogłoby się wydawać, że tak duża zmiana będzie dla młodego kota ogromnym ograniczeniem, ale Łapek szybko udowodnił nam, że ma na ten temat zupełnie inne zdanie. Dzisiaj jest szybki jak torpeda i zwinny jak puma! Biega, bawi się, poznaje świat i świetnie radzi sobie na trzech kończynach. Patrząc na jego codzienne szaleństwa, czasami naprawdę można zapomnieć o tym, przez co przeszedł. Jest cudownym, pełnym życia kociakiem. Pięknie korzysta z kuwety i jest prawdziwym czyścioszkiem.

About ŁAPEK

What life with ŁAPEK looks like

ŁAPEK is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko Świdnica in Poland.

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 ŁAPEK, answered.

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