Polka

Mixed Breed · Female

Two black female cats live with us who... well... are quite wild. Their names are Polka and Dáma, they are about half a year old, they have been tested and vaccinated, but no one can touch them for more than 2-3 seconds, they hiss, scratch, and run away :( They came to us from Százhalombatta a few weeks ago, along with a Toulouse-named brother, who is also shy and runs away. We are having a very difficult time with them, for now they do not let us out of this state, neither the extra delicious juti nor the game interests them, they do not want to reconcile with people. We would like to ask for a little help from cat whisperers who have experience with such self-sufficient cats, so unfortunately it is impossible to adopt them, but we can not even do a hearing test or give any tablets / dewormers, the next vaccination is impossible to give them. We would like Dáma and Polka to calm down, relax, and they could also find a good little owner where they could live safely and in love. If a determined and experienced cat volunteer would be available regularly and would take on the task of trying to help the two black princesses, we would be eternally grateful to the shelter caregivers and Polka too! We welcome cat whisperers, lion tamers and all volunteers who want to help the Heroszos owner searchers every day of the week from 10 to 15.

Lakik itt nálunk két fekete cicalány akik…nos….eléggé vadorzók még. Polka és Dáma a nevük, fél éves körüliek, teszteltek, oltottak, viszont senki nem tud hozzájuk nyúlni 2-3 másodpercnél tovább, fújnak, karmolnak, elszaladnak :( Százhalombattáról érkeztek hozzánk pár hete, egy Toulouse nevű cirmos testvérkéjükkel, aki szintén félős, menekülős cica. Nagyon nehéz dolgunk van velük, egyelőre nem engednek ebből az állapotból, sem az extra finom juti, sem a játék nem érdekli őket, nem akarnak megbékélni az emberekkel. Szeretnénk egy kis segítséget kérni olyan cicasuttogóktól akiknek van tapasztalatuk ilyen maguknak való cicákkal, így sajnos esélytelen Őket örökbeadni, de még egy fülvizsgálatot sem tudunk megcsinálni vagy bármilyen tablettát/féreghajtót, következő oltást képtelenség nekik beadni. Szeretnénk ha Dáma és Polka megnyugodna, feloldódna és nekik is sikerülhetne egy-egy jó kis gazdit találni akinél biztonságban és szeretetben élhetnének. Ha egy elszánt és tapasztalt cicás önkéntes ráérne rendszeresen és vállalná, hogy megpróbál segíteni a két fekete hercegnőnek, örökké hálásak lennénk mi menhelyi gondozók és Polkáék is! A hét minden napján 10 és 15 óra között várjuk a cicasuttogókat, oroszlánszelidítőket és minden kedves önkéntest aki segíteni szeretne a Heroszos gazdikeresőknek!

About Polka

What life with Polka looks like

Polka is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at HEROSZ Herman Ottó Magyar Országos Állat- és Természetvédő Egyesület in Hungary.

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 Hungary

Hungarian shelters operate at high capacity given the country's stray population. Animals leave sterilized, chipped, and with a passport. Many shelters coordinate transport to Germany, Austria, and the Nordics.

Frequently asked

Adopting Polka, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Polka?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. HEROSZ Herman Ottó Magyar Országos Állat- és Természetvédő Egyesület handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Polka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Polka if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — HEROSZ Herman Ottó Magyar Országos Állat- és Természetvédő Egyesület 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Polka 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 Polka 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 HEROSZ Herman Ottó Magyar Országos Állat- és Természetvédő Egyesület early rather than rehoming privately; they know Polka 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 (HU). 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.
