Puszczyk

Male · Adult · 8 years

Puszczyk has grown accustomed to the bustling activity at the cat shelter where he’s staying, and it turns out he’s a really playful guy. He loves playing with mice and fishing rods. Puszczyk gently nips at other cats, encouraging them to join in on the fun—especially the boys—and Teddy is his main buddy for mischief. He absolutely loves relaxing with catnip, and when he gets his paws on matatabi sticks, he goes into a state of euphoria! Puszczyk isn’t entirely convinced about humans yet, but we’re working on it. He definitely needs time, but we can see significant progress, so we’re optimistic.

PL·Show original

Puszczyk przyzwyczaił się do schroniskowego zgiełku na kociarni w której przebywa i okazuje się, że to bardzo zabawowy chłopak. Lubi bawić się myszkami i wędkami. Puszczyk delikatnie zaczepia inne koty i zachęca ich tym sposobem do zabawy, głównie chłopaków, a Teddy to jego główny kompan do psot. Uwielbia odprężać się dzięki kocimiętce, a przy patyczkach matatabi wpada w euforię! Puszczyk nie do końca jest przekonany do człowieka, ale pracujemy nad tym. Na pewno potrzebuje czasu, ale widać duże postępy, dlatego jesteśmy dobrej myśli.

About Puszczyk

What life with Puszczyk looks like

Puszczyk is a small adult cat waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

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 Puszczyk, answered.

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