Milva

Female · Adult · 4 years

Milva is a beautiful, brown kitten who still doesn't feel confident in her new situation. She is scared and cautious, so she needs time to feel safe and get used to the presence of humans. Despite her uncertainty, Milva allows herself to be touched. This is an important step that shows she is ready to gradually build trust, but she needs a calm approach and patience. Do not expect her to change quickly, but let her discover at her own pace that a human can be a source of security. We believe that in a quiet and predictable home, Milva will have a chance to open up beautifully. She needs a caregiver who will respect her boundaries, give her time and appreciate each step in building trust. We suggest reviewing the pre-adoption questionnaire and arriving at the shelter with the completed questionnaire: Note: When adopting a cat or considering it, be sure to take a transporter or cat transport bag with you to the shelter. Before adoption, make sure your home / apartment is safe and properly prepared to accept a new family member. Remember to secure windows and balcony. If you have a resident cat, bring FIV and FeLV test results.

Milva to piękna, bura koteczka, która wciąż nie czuje się pewnie w nowej sytuacji. Jest wystraszona i ostrożna, dlatego potrzebuje czasu, aby poczuć się bezpiecznie i przyzwyczaić do obecności człowieka. Mimo niepewności Milva pozwala się dotykać. To ważny krok, który pokazuje, że jest gotowa stopniowo budować zaufanie, jednak potrzebuje do tego spokojnego podejścia i cierpliwości. Nie należy oczekiwać od niej szybkich zmian, lecz pozwolić jej we własnym tempie odkrywać, że człowiek może być źródłem bezpieczeństwa. Wierzymy, że w spokojnym i przewidywalnym domu Milva będzie miała szansę pięknie się otworzyć. Potrzebuje opiekuna, który uszanuje jej granice, da jej czas i doceni każdy kolejny krok w budowaniu zaufania. 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. Jeśli masz kota rezydenta, zabierz ze sobą wyniki testów FIV i FeLV.

About Milva

What life with Milva looks like

Milva is a small adult cat waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

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 Milva, answered.

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