Mania

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 8 months

Mania has been with us for some time now, and we haven't had a cat like her in our shelter for a while. Mania is a 7-8 month old, slightly long-haired kitten with a gently flattened face. She is alive and adorable, but the photos frightened her – she doesn't like when people show interest in her. When that happens, she panics and gets scared. We are "fighting" for her "normalcy" using various methods. We tried to do things her way – we gave her plenty of peace and quiet, but unfortunately, even after a long time, she didn't break. We also tried a little bit of force, picking her up and cuddling her. After some time, Mania even started to purr during cuddles, but when she has the chance to escape, she takes it. Currently, she has been living in a small temporary home for over a month, and there has been progress, but it all takes a huge amount of time. She still fears the caretaker. What she has achieved: she has shown interest in a dog, started leaving the cage and exploring the apartment, lying loosely on her side and scratching the scratching post, and she doesn't seem very interested in cat companionship. We really hope that a patient person will give her a home and time, because even if we manage to do more, she will surely forget everything after adoption. The most commonly adopted cats are those that are trusting and friendly, those that cling to humans. Could Mani find a patient caregiver? We really hope so. The kitten couldn't return to her place of residence. We trapped her entire litter, and the feeder is currently selling her home. Kruszyna wouldn't have been able to handle it.

Mania, jest z nami już jakiś czas, dawno nie mieliśmy pod opieką takiej bidy. Bidy, która boi się nam zaufać. Mania, to kilkumiesięczna (7-8 miesięcy), troszkę długowłosa kotka, z delikatnie płaskim pyszczkiem. Na żywo, przeurocza, zdjęcia nieco ją przeraziły – ona nie lubi kiedy człowiek się nią interesuje. Towarzyszy jej wtedy panika i strach. „Walczymy” o jej „normalność” różnymi metodami. Próbowaliśmy zrobić, tak jak ona sobie życzy – daliśmy święty spokój, niestety, nawet po dłuższym czasie nie przełamała się. Spróbowaliśmy również troszkę na siłę, braliśmy na ręce, tuliliśmy. Mania po pewnym czasie tulasków zaczyna nawet mruczeć, jednak kiedy ma okazję uciec, korzysta z tego. Aktualnie od ponad miesiąca mieszka w kameralnym domu tymczasowym, jest progres, ale to wszystko wymaga ogromu czasu. Nadal obawia się opiekunki. Co osiągnęła: zainteresowała się psem, zaczęła opuszczać klatkę i zwiedzać mieszkanie, luźno leżeć na boku i drapać drapak, nie bardzo interesuje ją kocie towarzystwo. Bardzo nam zależy by dobry człowiek dał jej dom i czas., bo nawet jeśli my wypracujemy jeszcze więcej, z całą pewnością po adopcji zostanie przez nią wszystko zapomniane. Najczęściej adoptowane są koty ufne, przyjazne, takie które lgną do człowieka. Czy Mani uda się znaleźć cierpliwego opiekuna? Bardzo byśmy chcieli. Kotka nie mogła wrócić w miejsce bytowania. Odłowiliśmy całe jej stado, dodatkowo karmicielka jest w trakcie sprzedaży domu. Kruszyna zupełnie by sobie nie poradziła.

About Mania

What life with Mania looks like

Mania is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja Psy Ulicy Warszawa in Warszawa.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇵🇱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 Mania, answered.

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