Adopt Lucjan

Mixed Breed · Unknown

When Lucjan arrived at our shelter, he didn't lift his hind leg. We suspected a collision… After a week of hospitalization and an orthopedic consultation, we learned that he had muscle atrophy and a suspected sciatic nerve injury. Unfortunately, further tests revealed a horrifying truth – Luc had been shot, and a fragment of the bullet was lodged in his back, pressing on his spinal cord. A quick decision was made to perform surgery, during which most of the bullet fragment was removed, but one piece was too deep and had become too embedded in the bone to be safely removed. Luc beautifully endured the difficult operation and the recovery period. Now he is moving around the house more spritely, with the removal of part of the bullet fragment allowing partial spinal cord regeneration, and there is still time and hope for further improvement. To achieve as much improvement as possible, we need support for Luc. Stay his virtual caregiver and support his fight for a leg!

Kiedy Lucjan do nas trafił, nie stawał na tylną łapę. Podejrzewano potrącenie… Po tygodniowej hospitalizacji i konsultacji ortopedycznej dowiedzieliśmy się, że ma zaniki mięśni i podejrzenie uszkodzenia nerwu strzałkowego. Niestety, dalsze badania odkryły straszną prawdę – Luc został postrzelony i w jego plecach tkwił śrut uciskający rdzeń kręgowy. Zapadła szybka decyzja o przeprowadzeniu operacji, podczas której usunięto większość śrutu, niestety jeden z kawałków tkwił zbyt głęboko i był już zbyt wrośnięty w kość, aby można było go bezpiecznie usunąć. Luc pięknie przeszedł ciężką operację i okres rekonwalescencji. Teraz coraz sprawniej porusza się po domu, usunięcie części śrutu pozwala na częściową regenerację rdzenia kręgowego, i jest jeszcze czas i szansa na dalszą poprawę.Aby poprawa ta zaszła jak najdalej, potrzebujemy wsparcia dla Lucka. Zostań jego opiekunem wirtualnym i wspieraj go walce o łapkę!

About Lucjan

What life with Lucjan looks like

Lucjan is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Trzymaj Się Kocie 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 Lucjan, answered.

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