How do I contact the shelter about Nova?

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 Nova on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nova 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 Nova 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 Nova 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 Nova 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.

Nova

Female · Adult · 10 years

Nova is a wonderfully charming senior cat with a stunning tortoiseshell coat, captivating not only with her unique coloration but also with her cheerful and friendly nature. She arrived at the shelter together with her kittens. At first, she was very frightened—avoiding human contact and seeking refuge from the unfamiliar world around her. Today, she has undergone a remarkable transformation and is increasingly confident in showing just how wonderful a cat she truly is. Currently, Nova is sweet, approachable, and thoroughly enjoys human company. She loves spending time with her caregivers, and after playing together, she’ll come to them herself for petting and affection. Despite her age, she’s bursting with energy. She adores chasing toys and surprises everyone with her agility—no cardboard box or obstacle poses any challenge for her. She’s a true feline athlete who proves that age is just a number. Right now, Nova remains under veterinary care. Due to some missing teeth, she’ll soon undergo a dental examination, including an X-ray of her oral cavity. We’re looking for a loving forever home for Nova—a place where she can enjoy close human companionship, daily playtime, and a peaceful life alongside caring guardians. We believe this special senior cat has many beautiful years ahead of her and will repay her new family with her warm and gentle personality. We invite you to fill out our pre-adoption questionnaire and bring it along when you visit the shelter. Before adopting, please make sure your home or apartment is safe and properly prepared to welcome a new family member. Please note: If you decide to adopt a cat or are considering adoption, be sure to bring a carrier or transport bag suitable for transporting cats to the shelter.

Nova to przeurocza szylkretowa seniorka, która zachwyca nie tylko swoim wyjątkowym umaszczeniem, ale również pogodnym charakterem. Do Schroniska trafiła razem ze swoimi kociętami. Początkowo była bardzo przestraszona – unikała kontaktu i szukała schronienia przed nieznaną rzeczywistością. Dziś przeszła ogromną przemianę i coraz śmielej pokazuje, jak wspaniałą jest kotką. Obecnie Nova jest miła, kontaktowa i bardzo lubi towarzystwo człowieka. Chętnie spędza czas z opiekunami, a po wspólnej zabawie sama przychodzi po głaski i czułość. Mimo swojego wieku ma w sobie mnóstwo energii. Uwielbia ganiać za zabawkami i zaskakuje sprawnością – żaden karton ani przeszkoda nie stanowią dla niej problemu. To prawdziwa kocia atletka, która udowadnia, że wiek to tylko liczba. Obecnie Nova pozostaje pod opieką lekarzy. Ze względu na braki w uzębieniu w najbliższym czasie czeka ją diagnostyka stomatologiczna, w tym wykonanie zdjęcia RTG jamy ustnej. Szukamy dla Novy kochającego domu na zawsze. Takiego, w którym będzie mogła cieszyć się bliskością człowieka, codzienną porcją zabawy i spokojnym życiem u boku troskliwych opiekunów. Wierzymy, że ta wyjątkowa seniorka ma jeszcze przed sobą wiele pięknych lat i odwdzięczy się nowej rodzinie swoim ciepłym charakterem. Zapraszamy do zapoznania się z ankietą przedadopcyjną i przyjazd do schroniska z już wypełnioną ankietą: Przed adopcją upewnij się, że Twój dom / mieszkanie jest bezpieczne i odpowiednio przygotowane do przyjęcia nowego członka rodziny. Uwaga: Decydując się na adopcję kota lub rozważając ją, koniecznie weź ze sobą do schroniska transporter lub torbę transportową do przewozu kotów

About Nova

What life with Nova looks like

Nova 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.
