Today, he’s a beautiful, dignified cat who has everything you could look for in a feline—except for one thing: his own person. Rufus loves to play, is curious, and always present. But in the shelter, it’s hard to find what matters most—the bond that’s uniquely his. He’s not “someone’s.” Not yet. And yet, he could be the kind of cat who jumps onto the couch in the evening, greets you at the door in the morning, and simply… just is there by your side.

Dziś to piękny, dostojny kocur, który ma w sobie wszystko, czego szuka się w kocie, tylko brakuje mu jednego swojej osoby. Rufus lubi zabawę, jest ciekawski i obecny. Ale w schronisku trudno o coś najważniejszego, relację, która jest tylko jego. Nie jest „czyjś”. Jeszcze nie. A przecież mógłby być tym kotem, który wieczorem wskakuje na kanapę, rano wita przy drzwiach i po prostu… jest obok. ZOBACZ INNE KOTYDO ADOPCJIStrona stworzona zdla zwierząt przez

About Rufus

What life with Rufus looks like

Rufus is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko Gliwice in Poland.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇵🇱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 Rufus, answered.

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