Rysiu

Male · Young · 1 year

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 Rysiu is a gentle, delicate kitten, unfortunately withdrawn - he does not seek contact with humans, rather he avoids it.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he can have great fun with balls and chasing the lure - he then forgets for a moment that he is actually a shy and withdrawn cat.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.

Rysiu to młodziutki kocurek ze śmieszną plamką na pyszczku♥️. Nie ukrywamy, że jego adopcja będzie pewnym wyzwaniem. Nasz Rysiu jest bowiem łagodnym, bardzo wrażliwym stworzeniem, w stosunku do ludzi nieśmiałym i nieco wycofanym. W ich towarzystwie trzyma się trochę na uboczu i zawsze jest we wszystkim ostatni:) 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. Nie powinien natomiast trafić do domu z małymi dziećmi, bo wiadomo że mali ludzie generują wokół siebie dużo hałasu i chaosu:) Poza tym Rysiu jest kotem zabawowym – potrafi się pięknie bawić piłeczkami i lubi biegać za wędką – zapomina wtedy na chwilę, że przecież jest nieśmiały i wycofany. Po szaleństwach zasypia zwinięty w kłębek w swoim ulubionym miejscu. Rysiu doskonale dogaduje się z innymi kotami w swoim wieku – bratem Czesiem oraz innymi młodziakami, z którymi mieszka w kociarni. Razem się bawią, szaleją, psocą, razem odpoczywają. Tak, Rysiu bardzo lubi inne koty. Powinien zostać zaadoptowany z drugim kotem, bądź trafić do domu, w którym jest już inny kot albo koty, koniecznie zsocjalizowane z ludźmi, żeby Rysiu miał z kogo brać dobry przykład:) Rysiu jest przy tym taką trochę kociarnianą gapą, zawsze ostatnią w wyścigu po smaczki. W dodatku bierze je niezdarnie i długo się namyśla, toteż inni często zabierają mu smakołyki sprzed nosa:) Jest prześmieszny w swojej gapciowatości ♥️…

About Rysiu

What life with Rysiu looks like

Rysiu is a young adult cat waiting at Fundacja Dla Zwierząt Animalia Poznań in Poznań.

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 Rysiu, answered.

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.
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.
