Adopt Maelle

Female · Adult · 4 years

She is only 4 years old, yet she has already gone through more than she should... A broken tail, fused vertebrae, third eyelid on the eye, faded fur. Her body bears the marks of a difficult past. But her soul? Pure gold. ✨ Maelle immediately jumps onto your lap, snuggles in and purrs sweetly. She is wonderful, gentle, and sensitive. She may not look like a cat model - but she is the most beautiful where it really counts. ❤️ 🏡 She is looking for a home that will love her for her heart, not her looks. Maybe it's you who will show her that life can be good? Before adoption, we recommend getting to know the pre-adoption questionnaire and visiting the animal shelter with the completed form: Warning: When deciding to adopt a cat or considering it, make sure to bring a cat carrier or transport bag to the animal shelter. Before adoption, make sure your home/apartment is safe and properly prepared for the new family member. Remember to secure the windows and balcony.

Ma tylko 4 lata, a już przeszła więcej, niż powinna… Połamany ogonek, zrośnięte kręgi, trzecia powieka na oczku, wypłowiałe futerko. Ciałko nosi ślady trudnej przeszłości. Ale dusza? Czyste złoto. ✨ Maelle od razu wskakuje na kolanka, wtula się i słodko mruczy. Jest cudowna, delikatna, wrażliwa. Może nie wygląda jak kocia modelka – ale jest najpiękniejsza tam, gdzie naprawdę się liczy. ❤️ 🏡 Szuka domu, który pokocha ją za serce, nie za wygląd. Może właśnie Ty pokażesz jej, że życie potrafi być dobre? Przed adopcją sugerujemy zapoznanie się z kwestionariuszem przedadopcyjnym i przyjazd do schroniska z już wypełnioną ankietą: Uwaga: Decydując się na adopcję kota lub rozważając ją, koniecznie weź ze sobą do schroniska transporter lub torbę transportową do przewozu kotów. Przed adopcją upewnij się, że Twój dom / mieszkanie jest bezpieczne i odpowiednio przygotowane do przyjęcia nowego członka rodziny. Pamiętaj, żeby zabezpieczyć okna i balkon.

About Maelle

What life with Maelle looks like

Maelle is a small adult cat waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

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.

Note from the shelter: Currently in cat hospital

🇵🇱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 Maelle, answered.

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