Malwa

Female · Senior · 11 years

Malwa...a senior cat who urgently needs a home... Malwa has been through a lot ☹ The cat lived in poor conditions with other cats and dogs... She approaches people cautiously. We don't know what her relations with humans were, but her uncertainty and distance say a lot ☹ Malwa needs a quiet home and people who will love her and give her time to build a relationship... The cat very much needs love and someone who will show her that humans are loved and will always surround her with care ❤ We suggest completing the pre-adoption questionnaire and coming to the animal shelter with the form already filled out: Attention: If you decide to adopt a cat or are considering it, be sure to bring a carrier or transport bag for cats 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.

Malwa...kocia seniorka, która pilnie potrzebuje domu... Malwa dużo już przeszła ☹ Kotka mieszkała w złych warunkach z innymi kotami i psami... Do ludzi podchodzi ostrożnie. Nie wiemy jakie były jej relacje z człowiekiem, ale jej niepewność i dystans mówią wiele ☹ Malwa potrzebuje spokojnego domu i ludzi, którzy ją pokochają i dadzą czas na zbudowanie relacji... Kocia bardzo potrzebuje miłości i kogoś, kto pokaże jej, że człowiek jest kochany i zawsze otoczy ją troską ❤ 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 Malwa

What life with Malwa looks like

Malwa is a small senior cat waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

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.

Note from the shelter: Requires patient, calm home environment due to past trauma and trust issues

🇵🇱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 Malwa, answered.

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