Miriam

Mixed Breed · Female

Miriam is a calm cat with a white-brown coat. Gets along well with other cats, but prefers her own company. Likes static activities, such as observing her surroundings or sunbathing. Does not seek contact with humans - usually flees from people she does not know well. However, this changes over time - her "friends" can stroke her head and cuddle, for which she thanks with purring. The caregiver Miriam should respect her independence. It is recommended to gain trust through "small steps" - through treats or slow blinking (so-called "cat kisses"). It is also possible to try to encourage the cat to interact using a fishing toy, while also taking care of her physical activity.

PL·Show original

Miriam to spokojna kotka o biało-burym umaszczeniu. Dobrze współgra z innymi kotami, lecz preferuje swoje własne towarzystwo. Lubi statyczne aktywności, czyli obserwację otoczenia czy wygrzewanie się w promieniach Słońca. Nie dąży do kontaktu z człowiekiem – zazwyczaj czmycha od dotyku osób, których dobrze nie zna. Stan ten jednak zmienia się z czasem – swoim „znajomym” kotka pozwala na mizianie po główce i pieszczoty, za które dziękuje mruczeniem. Opiekun Miriam powinien szanować jej niezależność. Zaleca się zdobywanie zaufania metodą „małych kroczków” – przez smakołyki czy powolne mruganie (tzw. „kocie pocałunki”). Można również spróbować zachęcać kotkę do kontaktu za pomocą zabawy wędką, dbając zarazem o jej aktywność fizyczną.

About Miriam

What life with Miriam looks like

Miriam is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

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 Miriam, answered.

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