Adopt PESTKA

Mixed Breed · Unknown

PESTKA arrived at our shelter from Turniowa Street. PESTKA doesn't approach people right away—she first needs time to observe from a hiding spot and build trust. Once she feels safe, she initiates contact, rubs against them, seeks to be petted, and loudly purrs. She most enjoys being petted around her ears, whiskers, and tail. Initially, she hissed at other cats, but over time she became more neutral toward them, though she clearly prefers peace and avoids cat company. PESTKA is looking for a home that will provide her with quiet, patience, and lots of affection.

Pestka o maści tricolor trafiła do schroniska z ul. Turniowej. Pestka nie od razu podchodzi do ludzi – najpierw potrzebuje czasu, by z ukrycia poobserwować i nabrać zaufania. Gdy już poczuje się bezpiecznie, sama nawiązuje kontakt, ociera się, dopomina o głaskanie i głośno mruczy. Najbardziej lubi pieszczoty w okolicach uszu, bródki i ogona. Początkowo syczała na inne koty, jednak z czasem stała się wobec nich bardziej neutralna, choć wyraźnie preferuje spokój i unika kociego towarzystwa. Pestka szuka domu, który zapewni jej ciszę, cierpliwość i dużo czułości.

About PESTKA

What life with PESTKA looks like

PESTKA is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko Lublin in Lublin.

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 PESTKA, answered.

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