Piania

Female · Adult · 5 years

Piania is a black-and-white kitten with a very gentle and cautious nature. In the past, she was a free-roaming cat, so living close to humans is completely new for her. She’s currently in the process of getting used to human company, and although her progress is slow, she takes small steps forward every single day. Most of the time, she stays in her cozy little den, which gives her a sense of security. From there, she carefully observes her surroundings and watches closely what’s going on around her. She still keeps her distance from people and doesn’t yet tolerate being petted, so she needs an owner who will respect her pace and won’t put any pressure on her. However, Piania shows that she has a curious streak inside her. She loves playing with the fishing rod toy and happily enjoys treats, which help her associate positive experiences with human presence. It’s through these small moments that she’s gradually becoming more confident in exploring the world around her. She especially feels comfortable in the company of other cats. It’s with them that she opens up the most and draws a sense of security from them. Therefore, an ideal home for her would be one with another calm FIV-positive cat, who could help her settle into her new environment and boost her self-confidence. Piania is a carrier of the FIV virus. This virus weakens the immune system, so the kitten requires careful supervision and regular health monitoring. FIV does not pose a threat to humans or other animal species. The kitten can live as an only cat or with another FIV-positive cat; having a calm feline companion by her side could provide her with great support. We’re looking for a particularly patient and calm home for Piania—one that will accept her just as she is. She’s a cat who doesn’t need much—above all, she needs a sense of security, a predictable daily routine, and an owner willing to give her plenty of time. We believe that under the right conditions, she’ll gradually open up to the world and become more and more confident in enjoying life alongside humans. We invite you to fill out our pre-adoption questionnaire and come visit the shelter with your completed form already prepared. Before adopting, 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 for cats to the shelter.

Pianię można poznać i adoptować w punkcie Ochota na Kota, przy ul. Grójeckiej 79 w Warszawie. Proces adopcyjny trwa 2 dni. Piania to wycofana kotka, która potrzebuje towarzystwa innego kota, żeby poprzez jego zachowanie przekonać się, że życie u boku człowieka może być komfortowe i radosne. Dlatego idealnym miejscem dla Piani na rozpoczęcie nowego życia będzie dom, w którym mieszka już koci rezydent, który pomoże jej odnaleźć się w nowej sytuacji. Większość czasu spędza w swojej budce, która daje jej poczucie bezpieczeństwa. Stamtąd uważnie obserwuje otoczenie i przygląda się temu, co dzieje się wokół. Pinia po chwili delikatnego głaskania zaczyna mruczeć i wyraźnie cieszy się z obecności człowieka. Piania pokazuje, że drzemie w niej ciekawość świata. Lubi zabawę wędką i chętnie korzysta ze smaczków, które pomagają budować pozytywne skojarzenia z obecnością człowieka. Dzięki takim małym, pozytywnym doświadczeniom Pinia z każdym dniem nabiera coraz więcej odwagi i pewniej poznaje otaczający ją świat. Piania jest nosicielką wirusa FIV. Brzmi groźnie? Tylko z nazwy — w praktyce FIV nie oznacza, że kot nie może prowadzić szczęśliwego i komfortowego życia u boku człowieka. ❤️ W kochającym domu ma przed sobą długie i szczęśliwe życie. FIV to wirus wyłącznie koci — nie przenosi się na inne gatunki, nie jest groźny dla ludzi ani innych zwierząt. Opieka nad kotem z FIV praktycznie nie różni się od opieki nad kotem zdrowym. W przypadku nosiciela wirusa należy jedynie unikać sytuacji stresowych. Dla naszych kotów z FIV szukamy dokładnie takich samych domów jak dla kotów bez wirusa — uważnych i troskliwych, które chcą zapewnić kotu komfortowe życie. 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. Jeśli masz kota rezydenta, zabierz ze sobą wyniki testów FIV i FeLV.

About Piania

What life with Piania looks like

Piania 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.

Note from the shelter: FIV positive - requires careful health monitoring and should live alone or with other FIV+ cats only

🇵🇱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 Piania, answered.

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