How do I contact the shelter about Maja?

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 Maja on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Maja 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 Maja 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 Maja 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 Maja 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.

Maja

Female · Adult · 6 years

Maja is a beautiful little cat with a gentle disposition who is still getting used to her new reality. At the moment, she’s still shy and cautious. She carefully observes her surroundings and explores each new situation at her own pace. Although she maintains a certain distance during initial interactions, she becomes increasingly brave with each passing day. Slowly but surely, she’s starting to trust people and taking small steps toward closer contact. We believe that in a calm and patient home, she’ll quickly reveal her true, warm personality. Maja will thrive best by the side of an owner who respects her pace and allows her to gradually build a sense of security. Above all, this little cat needs peace, understanding, and time to fully blossom. We invite you to fill out our pre-adoption questionnaire and come to the shelter with the completed form already prepared. Please note: If you’re considering adopting a cat or have already decided to do so, be sure to bring a carrier or transport bag for cats to the shelter. Before adopting, make sure your home or apartment is safe and properly prepared to welcome a new family member. Remember to secure windows and balconies.

PL·Show original

Maja wyraźnie nabrała już pewności siebie i coraz lepiej odnajduje się w schroniskowej rzeczywistości. To nadal delikatna koteczka, ale dziś jest zdecydowanie bardziej śmiała niż na początku. Coraz chętniej wychodzi ze swojego bezpiecznego miejsca i z większą odwagą obserwuje wszystko, co dzieje się wokół niej. Ogromnym wsparciem jest dla niej obecność Rudego (523/26), z którym przyjechała do Schroniska. Koty obecnie mieszkają wspólnie w salce i widać, że towarzystwo Rudego bardzo pomaga Mai poczuć się pewniej. W jego obecności łatwiej jej przełamywać nieśmiałość i poznawać nowe otoczenie. Dlatego chcielibyśmy, aby ta dwójka mogła rozpocząć nowe życie razem. Maja potrzebuje jeszcze trochę czasu, aby w pełni rozwinąć skrzydła, ale jej postępy pokazują, że jest na dobrej drodze. Wierzymy, że w spokojnym i troskliwym domu, u boku Rudego, będzie mogła dalej budować swoją pewność siebie i coraz śmielej odkrywać uroki kociego życia. Szukamy dla Mai i Rudego wspólnego, kochającego domu na zawsze. Mamy nadzieję, że znajdzie się ktoś, kto zechce otworzyć przed nimi swoje serce i dać im szansę na bezpieczne, wspólne życie. Zapraszamy do zapoznania się z ankietą przedadopcyjną 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 Maja

What life with Maja looks like

Maja 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.

🇵🇱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.
