Maja

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 13 years

My name is Maja and I am 13 years old. Together with Łacia, Kropka, and the dogs Ozzy, Roco, and Alex, I arrived at the shelter on June 11, 2026. Our previous caretaker could no longer take care of us. This change has been very difficult for me. I am shy and scared, and the noise in the shelter makes it hard for me to find my place. I need time to trust a human and feel safe.I'm not looking for a home full of noise and constant changes. I dream of a quiet place where no one will rush me and let me open up at my own pace. I believe that when I regain a sense of security, I will show my gentle nature.I use the litter box. I am vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and spayed, so I can move into a new home right away.If you have patience and a heart for shy cats, maybe it's me who is waiting for you. Sometimes the greatest love comes from those cats that are most afraid at first.

Mam na imię Maja i mam 13 lat. Razem z Łacią, Kropką oraz psami Ozzym, Roco i Alexem trafiłam do schroniska 11 czerwca 2026 roku. Nasz dotychczasowy opiekun nie mógł się już nami dłużej zajmować.To dla mnie bardzo trudna zmiana. Jestem nieśmiała i wystraszona, a schroniskowy hałas sprawia, że trudno mi się odnaleźć. Potrzebuję czasu, aby zaufać człowiekowi i poczuć się bezpiecznie.Nie szukam domu pełnego gwaru i ciągłych zmian. Marzę o spokojnym miejscu, w którym nikt nie będzie mnie poganiał i pozwoli mi otworzyć się we własnym tempie. Wierzę, że kiedy odzyskam poczucie bezpieczeństwa, pokażę swoją łagodną naturę.Korzystam z kuwety. Jestem zaszczepiona, odrobaczona, zaczipowana i wysterylizowana, więc mogę od razu zamieszkać w nowym domu.Jeśli masz cierpliwość i serce dla nieśmiałych kotów, być może to właśnie ja czekam na Ciebie. Czasem największą miłość okazują te koty, które na początku najbardziej się boją.

About Maja

What life with Maja looks like

Maja is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇵🇱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 Maja, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maja?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Zabrze 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 Zabrze 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 Zabrze 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.
