Łatka

Mixed Breed · Female

It was cold, there was no food, and weakness and hunger made her feel bad. And she had small kittens that needed to be warmed up, fed and made safe... How to do it when she herself was scared, frozen and hungry? This is how Łatka lived until she came to our center. The burden of homelessness caused her to be distant from people, but we are not the type to give up easily 🙂 Every day, with small steps, we are gaining her trust, and Łatka is opening up very nicely - she likes to play and gets along well with other cats. She even has her favorite, Gepard, with whom they created a "romantic" duo perfect 🙂 The cat loves food and treats, doesn't make faces, and is overcoming her distance towards human hands. We are sure that in a new, safe home she will fully open up.

Było zimno, brakowało jedzenia, a osłabienie i głód sprawiały, że nie czuła się dobrze. A miała małe kocięta, które trzeba było ogrzać, wykarmić i sprawić, by były bezpieczne… Jak to zrobić, kiedy sama się bała, była zmarznięta i głodna? Tak żyła Łatka, dopóki nie trafiła do naszego ośrodka. Brzemię bezdomności zaowocowało jej dystansem do ludzi, my jednak nie z tych, co się łatwo poddają 🙂 Codziennie, małymi krokami zdobywamy jej zaufanie, a Łatka otwiera się bardzo ładnie - lubi się bawić, dobrze dogaduje się z innymi kotami. Ma nawet swojego ulubieńca, Geparda, z którym stworzyli "romantyczny" duet idealny 🙂 Kotka uwielbia jedzonko i przysmaki, nie grymasi, przełamuje swój dystans do ludzkich dłoni. Jesteśmy pewni, że w nowym, bezpiecznym domu w pełni się otworzy.

About Łatka

What life with Łatka looks like

Łatka is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja Niechciane i Zapomniane SOS Zwierząt (Łódź) 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 Łatka, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Łatka?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja Niechciane i Zapomniane SOS Zwierząt (Łódź) 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 — Fundacja Niechciane i Zapomniane SOS Zwierząt (Łódź) 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 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 Fundacja Niechciane i Zapomniane SOS Zwierząt (Łódź) 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
