Richard

Male · Young · 3 years

You can meet Richard at our Ochota na Kota shelter, located at 79 Grójecka Street in Warsaw. Our Richard has a little frown, as if he’s constantly worried. But that’s just an impression—Richard is a fluffy, wonderful, and well-balanced kitten. He poses perfectly for photos and stretches out beautifully on his scratching post—all to show off his long, gorgeous coat. The first thing that catches your eye about Richard is, of course, his fur—but what really won us over is his character. Richard is simply the perfect cat. He loves playing, enjoys human company, and is incredibly friendly. At the same time, he doesn’t focus exclusively on interacting with people; after all, he still has his feline business to attend to, like chasing a little ball. Richard can be the only cat in the home, but he can also live with another calm cat—of course, provided that the animals are properly introduced. Before adopting Richard, it’s worth familiarizing yourself with the care guidelines for longer cat coats and being prepared to regularly groom his fur. Richard once had a home and was adopted—but after four months, he returned to the shelter—not through any fault of his own. He’s a wonderful cat who didn’t deserve such a story. Now we’re looking for a responsible, loving home for him—one that will never let him down and will become his safe haven forever. We invite you to meet our Richard at Ochota na Kota! Before adopting, make sure your home or apartment is safe and properly prepared to welcome a new family member. For adoption inquiries: Ochota na kota 604 866 488. The adoption process at Ochota na Kota takes 2 days!

Richarda można poznać w naszym punkcie Ochota na Kota, który znajduję się przy ul. Grójeckiej 79 w Warszawie Nasz Richard ma minkę, jakby był ciągle zdenerwowany. Ale to tylko pozory. Richard to puchaty, cudowny i zrównoważony kocurek. Potrafi perfekcyjnie zapozować do zdjęcia, pięknie wyciągnąć się na drapaku – wszystko po to, żeby można było podziwiać jego długie futerko. Pierwszą cechą, która przyciąga uwagę w Richardzie, jest oczywiście jego futerko, ale nas najbardziej zachwycił jego charakter. Richard jest po prostu kotem idealnym. Kocha zabawę, lubi towarzystwo człowieka i jest bardzo przyjaźnie nastawiony. Jednocześnie nie skupia się wyłącznie na kontakcie z ludźmi, bo przecież ma też swoje kocie sprawy do załatwienia, na przykład gonitwy za piłeczką. Richard może być jedynym kotem w domu, ale może także zamieszkać z innym spokojnym kotem – oczywiście pod warunkiem przeprowadzenia prawidłowego procesu zapoznania zwierząt. Przed adopcją Richarda warto zapoznać się z zasadami pielęgnacji dłuższego kociego futra i być przygotowanym na regularne dbanie o jego sierść. Richard miał już swój dom i został adoptowany, jednak po czterech miesiącach wrócił do schroniska – nie ze swojej winy. To wspaniały kot, który nie zasłużył na taką historię. Teraz szukamy dla niego odpowiedzialnego, kochającego domu, który już go nie zawiedzie i będzie jego bezpieczną przystanią na zawsze. Zapraszamy do zapoznania się z naszym Richardem w Ochota na Kota! Przed adopcją upewnij się, że Twój dom / mieszkanie jest bezpieczne i odpowiednio przygotowane do przyjęcia nowego członka rodziny. Kontakt w sprawie adopcji: Ochota na kota 604 866 488 Proces adopcyjny w Ochota na Kota trwa 2 dni!

About Richard

What life with Richard looks like

Richard is a small young 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.

🇵🇱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 Richard, answered.

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