Mateja

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

I enjoy being petted, but on my own terms – I'm not fond of the company of other cats and I get overstimulated quickly.

Lubię głaski, ale na własnych warunkach – nie przepadam za towarzystwem innych kotów i szybko się przebodźcowuję.

About Mateja

What life with Mateja looks like

Mateja is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Koty Spod Bloku in Poland.

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. Adopters usually cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mateja, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mateja?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Koty Spod Bloku handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mateja on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mateja if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Koty Spod Bloku 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Mateja 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 Mateja 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 Koty Spod Bloku early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mateja 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.
