How do I contact the shelter about Rysiu?

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 Rysiu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Rysiu 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 Rysiu 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 Rysiu 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 Rysiu and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Rysiu

Male · Kitten · 11 months

We don't hide that adopting Rysio♥️ (as well as his brother Czesio♥️) will be a certain challenge... People who take him into their family will therefore have the task of helping this shy and fearful little cat open up to them and trust them. Rysiu is a gentle, delicate kitten, unfortunately withdrawn - he does not seek contact with humans, rather he avoids it. We are working on this with the help of a behaviorist, but results will have to be waited for. In home conditions it would certainly be easier to achieve than in the cattery where Rysiu currently lives. He definitely should go to a quiet home, to people who will patiently and slowly convince him and allow him to get used to them at his own pace. Rysiu is very young, so he likes play, he can have great fun with balls and chasing the lure - he then forgets for a moment that he is actually a shy and withdrawn cat. After all the excitement, he falls asleep curled up in his favorite spot. Rysiu gets along very well with other cats of his age - his brother Czesio and five other young ones, with whom he lives in the cattery. They play together, run around, fight, and rest together. Rysio should go to a home together with another cat, or a home where there is already another cat that has no problem with contact with people.

Nie ukrywamy, że adopcja Rysia♥️ (a także jego brata Czesia♥️) będzie pewnym wyzwaniem… Ludzie, którzy przyjmą go do rodziny, będą bowiem mieć za zadanie, żeby nieśmiały i strachliwy kocurek otworzył się na nich i zaufał im. Rysiu jest łagodnym, delikatnym kotkiem, niestety wycofanym – nie szuka kontaktu z człowiekiem, raczej go unika. Pracujemy nad tym z pomocą behawiorysty, ale na efekty trzeba będzie poczekać. W domowych warunkach na pewno byłoby łatwiej to osiągnąć niż w kociarni, w której Rysiu teraz mieszka. Na pewno powinien trafić do spokojnego domu, do ludzi, którzy zechcą cierpliwie i pomału przekonywać go do siebie i pozwolić mu oswajać się we własnym tempie. Rysiu jest młodziutki, lubi więc zabawę, potrafi się pięknie bawić piłeczkami i biegać za wędką – zapomina wtedy na chwilę, że przecież jest nieśmiałym i wycofanym kotem. Po szaleństwach zasypia zwinięty w kłębek w swoim ulubionym miejscu. Rysiu doskonale dogaduje się z innymi kotami w swoim wieku – bratem Czesiem oraz pięcioma innymi młodziakami, z którymi mieszka w kociarni. Razem się bawią, szaleją, psocą, razem odpoczywają. Rysiulek powinien trafić do domu razem z innym kotem, albo takim w którym jest już inny kot, nie mający problemu z kontaktem z ludźmi.

About Rysiu

What life with Rysiu looks like

Rysiu is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Fundacja Dla Zwierząt Animalia Poznań in Poznań.

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.
