Łatka

Female · Young · 3 years

Łatka is a barely one-year-old, timid little cat. She’s such a sweet, tiny bundle who seeks closeness from other cats—but right now, humans still scare her. It’s hard to win her trust in shelter conditions. At home, this socialization process will surely take much less time. Working in her favor is the fact that she’s not yet a year old and has only ever known life in a shelter. She doesn’t yet know how wonderful it can be to live at home by the side of “her” human. Give this little creature a chance—adopt Łatka!

PL·Show original

Łatka to niespełna roczna przestraszona koteczka. To taka śliczna kruszynka, która szuka bliskości u innych kotów, a człowiek na chwilę obecną ją przeraża. Ciężko przekonać ją do siebie w schroniskowych warunkach. W domu ta socjalizacja na pewno potrwa znacznie krócej. Na jej korzyść przemawia fakt, że nie ma jeszcze roku i zna tylko to schroniskowe życie. Ona jeszcze nie wie jak może być cudownie w domu u boku „swojego” człowieka. Daj szansę tej malutkiej istotce, adoptuj Łatkę.

About Łatka

What life with Łatka looks like

Łatka is a small young adult cat waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Łatka, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Łatka?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Łatka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Łatka if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Łatka 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 Łatka 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 dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu early rather than rehoming privately; they know Łatka 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.
