Łatka

Mixed Breed · Female

Łatka is a tiny, delicate kitten who arrived at the animal shelter as a few-month-old kitten. Today, she is approaching her third birthday… and she still waits. Unnoticed. Why? Because Łatka doesn’t know how to push herself forward. She doesn’t jump onto the first kind person’s lap or loudly demand attention. She is a quiet observer – she stands on the side, watching the world and people, as if she wants to make sure she can trust them first. But when she gives someone a chance… something beautiful happens. Łatka slowly opens up and shows her true nature – warm, gentle, and with a huge need for closeness. She loves gentle petting and contact with the person she trusts. This is a kitten who loves deeply but quietly. She gets along with other cats without a problem, is conflict-free, and calm. She will find her best home in a quiet house with someone patient and sensitive – someone who will give her time, space, and the chance to blossom at her own pace. Łatka doesn’t look for the perfect home. She’s looking for her person. Maybe she’s waiting for you?

PL·Show original

Łatka to maleńka, delikatna koteczka, która do schroniska trafiła jako kilkumiesięczny kociak. Dziś zbliża się do trzecich urodzin… i wciąż czeka. Niezauważona. Dlaczego? Bo Łatka nie potrafi się narzucać. Nie wskakuje na kolana pierwszego lepszego człowieka, nie dopomina się głośno o uwagę. Jest cichą obserwatorką – stoi z boku, przygląda się światu i ludziom, jakby chciała najpierw upewnić się, że może zaufać. Ale kiedy już da komuś szansę… dzieje się coś pięknego. Łatka otwiera się powoli i pokazuje swoją prawdziwą naturę – pełną ciepła, łagodności i ogromnej potrzeby bliskości. Uwielbia delikatne głaski i kontakt z człowiekiem, któremu zaufała. To koteczka, która kocha spokojnie, ale bardzo głęboko. Z innymi kotami dogaduje się bez problemu, jest bezkonfliktowa i spokojna. Najlepiej odnajdzie się w cichym domu, u kogoś cierpliwego i wrażliwego – kogoś, kto da jej czas, przestrzeń i pozwoli jej rozkwitnąć we własnym tempie. Łatka nie szuka idealnego domu. Szuka swojego człowieka. Może właśnie czeka na Ciebie?

About Łatka

What life with Łatka looks like

Łatka is a adult mixed breed 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.

🇵🇱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. 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. 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 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
