Łatek

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Łatek is about a 3-month-old kitten who came to the animal shelter due to a cat cold. Although the beginning was difficult, he is now slowly recovering and learning that people can be good. He is still distrustful of strangers, but every day we do everything we can to rebuild his trust. Łatek is vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped, and uses the litter box without any problems. This little one needs a patient home, peace and time — in return, he can offer an exceptional bond, built step by step.

PL·Show original

Łatek to około 3-miesięczny kociak, który trafił do schroniska z powodu kociego kataru. Choć początki były trudne, dziś powoli dochodzi do siebie i uczy się, że człowiek może być kimś dobrym. Jest jeszcze nieufny wobec obcych, ale każdego dnia robimy wszystko, by odbudować jego zaufanie. Łatek jest zaszczepiony, zachipowany i odrobaczony, a z kuwety korzysta bez problemu. To maluch, który potrzebuje cierpliwego domu, spokoju i czasu — w zamian może podarować wyjątkową więź, budowaną krok po kroku.

About Łatek

What life with Łatek looks like

Łatek is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at OTOZ Animals — Schronisko w Starogardzie Gdańskim in Poland.

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 Łatek, answered.

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