Marta

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Marta Marta arrived at the shelter as a barely two-month-old kitten with an eye infection, pneumonia, and ear swabs. She was already a withdrawn kitten back then and remains that way to this day. She avoids contact with humans, approaching only when food is nearby. We are looking for a home for her that is cat-only, without dogs or children. She might be a home with another cat that is positively oriented towards humans, which could help her open up, but she may never become a lap cat. She knows how to use a litter box and uses the scratching post. The future caregiver must have a carrier for transporting the cat. Gender: FemaleYear of birth: 2025.

About Marta

What life with Marta looks like

Marta is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko Bełchatów in Poland.

A young 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. Many animals leave sterilized and chipped, and adopters often cover transport. Confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Marta, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Marta?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Schronisko Bełchatów handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Marta on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Marta if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Schronisko Bełchatów whether they will for Marta, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Marta already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Schronisko Bełchatów lists Marta as vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Schronisko Bełchatów, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Marta isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Schronisko Bełchatów about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Marta 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.
