Makon

Male · Young · 2 years

Makon came to us after an accident (probably hit by a car), dragging his back legs behind him. His prognosis was initially cautious, but Makon exceeded our wildest expectations! After the first physiotherapy sessions, it became clear that he would fight for his mobility. This young cat, despite his situation, is full of energy and has made significant progress. He can now move without holding on, is eager to play with a fishing rod, and above all, he is drawn to humans. He wants to be stroked, rubs against you. His limited movements do not prevent him from seeking affection. Makon is quickly regaining mobility in his back legs, but requires patience and simple, regular exercises. We will teach him everything, and you can discuss the details of his health situation with our veterinarians. At the moment, he takes painkillers and occasionally needs help with urination, but he knows perfectly well what the litter box is for. He is a wonderful, small cat who still has a lot of trust in people, despite what happened to him. We don't want him to spend his youth in a shelter.

PL·Show original

Makon trafił do nas po wypadku (prawdopodobnie potrącony przez samochód), ciągnąc tylne łapki za sobą. Jego rokowania początkowo były ostrożne, ale Makon przeszedł nasze najśmielsze oczekiwania! Już po pierwszych sesjach fizjoterapeutycznych okazało się, że będzie walczył o swoją sprawność. To młody kot, mimo swojej sytuacji pełen energii, który szybko zrobił naprawdę duże postępy. Teraz już potrafi się poruszać bez przytrzymywania, jak każdy inny kot jest chętny do zabaw wędką, a przede wszystkim ciągnie go do człowieka. Chce być głaskany, ociera się. Jego ograniczone na razie ruchy wcale nie przeszkadzają mu w wyłudzaniu czułości. Makon bardzo szybko odzyskuje sprawność w tylnych łapkach, ale wymaga cierpliwości i prostych, regularnych ćwiczeń. Wszystkiego nauczymy, a o szczegółach jego sytuacji zdrowotnej będzie można porozmawiać z naszymi weterynarzami. Na ten moment przyjmuje leki przeciwbólowe i sporadycznie wymaga pomocy przy oddawaniu moczu, ale doskonale wie, do czego służy kuweta. To wspaniały, drobny kot, który wciąż ma mnóstwo zaufania do ludzi, mimo tego, co mu się przytrafiło. Nie chcemy, żeby spędził młodość w schronisku.

About Makon

What life with Makon looks like

Makon is a small young adult 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 Makon, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Makon?
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 Makon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Makon 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 Makon 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 Makon 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 Makon 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.
