Piernik

Male · Young · 1 year

Piernik is a real little volcano of energy — kitten, who doesn't know the word "boredom". 😄 From the very first moments, it's clear that life is treated as a great adventure, and every mouse, ball or crumpling paper is an invitation to play. Loves to play with mice, and when he gets going... he can make a real turbo mess in the cage, which will amuse everyone who looks at him 😄 This kitten is full of life: curious, clever and always ready for new acrobatics. He must look everywhere, check everything and best of all, run away immediately, because after all, the world has so much to discover! His energy is contagious — watching Piernik in action can improve even the worst day's mood. Despite his wild character, he simply needs a home that gives him space to run, toys he can chase and a person who will appreciate this amazing joy of life. For people who like to watch cat antics and play actively with a cat — Piernik will be a perfect match. 🐈❤️ small cat still requires socialization work, so we will gladly give him to the hands of an experienced person with withdrawn cats or someone who will have a lot of patience with him and give him time and space to develop. He feels safe when hidden, in his bed. Despite his fear, it can be seen that petting begins to bring him pleasure.

Piernik to prawdziwy mały wulkan energii — kotek, który nie zna słowa „nuda”.😄 Od pierwszych chwil widać, że życie traktuje jak wielką przygodę, a każda myszka, piłeczka czy szeleszczący papierek to dla niego zaproszenie do zabawy. Uwielbia bawić się myszkami, a kiedy już się rozpędzi… potrafi zrobić w klatce prawdziwą turbo-rozróbę, która rozbawi każdego, kto na niego spojrzy 😄 To kociak pełen życia: ciekawski, sprytny i zawsze gotowy na nowe akrobacje. Wszędzie musi zajrzeć, wszystko sprawdzić i najlepiej od razu pobiec dalej, bo przecież świat ma tyle do odkrycia! Jego energia jest zaraźliwa — oglądanie Piernika w akcji potrafi poprawić humor nawet po najcięższym dniu. Mimo swojego żywiołowego charakteru potrzebuje po prostu domu, który da mu przestrzeń do harców, zabawki, które będzie mógł ganiać i człowieka, który doceni tę niesamowitą radość życia. Dla osób lubiących obserwować kocie wygibasy i bawić się z kotem aktywnie — Piernik będzie strzałem w dziesiątkę.🐈❤️ Kocurek wymaga jeszcze pracy socjalizacyjnej, dlatego chętnie oddamy go w ręce osoby doświadczonej z wycofanymi kotami lub takiej, która będzie miala do niego dużo cierpliwości i da mu czas i przestrzeń by się rozwinął. Czuje się bezpieczny gdy jest schowany, w swoim posłanku. Pomimo strachu, widać że głaskanie zaczyna sprawiać mu przyjemność. 😊

About Piernik

What life with Piernik looks like

Piernik is a small young adult cat waiting at Fundacja Dla Zwierząt Animalia Poznań in Poznań.

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 Piernik, answered.

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