Mona

Mixed Breed · Female

Mona is a cat with a mysterious past. She was born and lived in urban sewers together with homeless animals who shared their food with her. The cat had no chance to get out to the surface, she lived in almost complete darkness, as only through manholes few sun rays reached her. Due to the planned filling of the sewers, the cats living there were caught, and the manholes were sealed tightly. Mona did not know life on the surface nor the dangers of life in the wild. She never saw cars or the noise of the city. That is why she ended up in an animal shelter. Mona is shy towards people and easily frightened. We are looking for a safe home for her, where she can stay indoors and have patient, calm guardians who will allow her to become accustomed to them at her own pace. Mona gets along very well with other cats, so she can live in a house where there is already a cat or cats.

Mona to kotka z tajemniczą przeszłością. Urodziła się i mieszkała w miejskich kanałach razem z bezdomnymi, którzy dzielili się z nią swoim jedzeniem. Kotka nie miała możliwości wydostania się na powierzchnię, żyła w prawie całkowitych ciemnościach, bo jedynie przez włazy docierały nieliczne promienie słoneczne. W związku z planowanym zasypaniem kanałów, koty tam mieszkające zostały wyłapane, a włazy zamknięte na głucho. Mona nie znała życia na powierzchni ani niebezpieczeństw życia na wolności. Nigdy nie widziała samochodów ani zgiełku miejskiego. Dlatego trafiła do schroniska.Mona jest nieśmiała wobec ludzi i płochliwa. Szukamy dla niej bezpiecznego domu niewychodzącego i spokojnych, cierpliwych opiekunów, którzy pozwolą jej oswajać się w ich własnym tempie. Mona bardzo dobrze dogaduje się z innymi kotami, więc może zamieszkać w domu, w którym jest już kot lub koty. Przed przyjazdem do schroniska prosimy o kontakt z wolontariuszką prowadzącą adopcję.

About Mona

What life with Mona looks like

Mona is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko dla Bezdomnych Zwierząt w Milanówku 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. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mona, answered.

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