Selene

Mixed Breed · Female

Temperament: Selene is an inquisitive and young kitten. She has a friendly temperament towards other cats, but is still not fully convinced about people. She is not aggressive - she interacts through shared play (she loves chasing the fishing rod) and observation. She often seeks eye contact - then she slowly blinks at the person she likes (sending a so-called cat kiss). By remaining calm in the presence of Selene, trust is gained. The kitten can then approach and sniff the person who is relaxed. She is also willing to accept gifts in the form of cat treats (such as cookies or tasty pastes). In such situations, you can try to pet her, but you cannot force it on her. Selene needs a home where her individual character is respected. Her potential owner should show calmness and patience during the kitten's socialization.

Usposobienie: Selene jest ciekawską i młodą kotką. Posiada przyjazne usposobienie względem innych kotów, lecz wciąż nie jest w pełni przekonana do ludzi. Ne jest agresywna – wchodzi w interakcję poprzez wspólną zabawę (uwielbia gonitwy za wędką) oraz obserwację. Często szuka kontaktu wzrokowego – wówczas powoli mruga do osoby, którą darzy sympatią (przesyła tzw. koci pocałunek). Zachowując w obecności Selene spokój, wzbudza się jej zaufanie. Kotka wówczas potrafi podejść i obwąchać człowieka, który siedzi zrelaksowany. Jest również chętna na przyjmowanie podarunków w postaci kocich smaczków (np. ciasteczek czy smakowych past). W takich sytuacjach można podjąć próbę jej pogłaskania, lecz nie można tego na niej wymuszać. Selene potrzebuje domu, w którym zostanie uszanowany jej indywidualny charakter. Jej potencjalny właściciel powinien wykazywać się spokojem i cierpliwością podczas socjalizacji kotki.

About Selene

What life with Selene looks like

Selene is a adult mixed breed 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 Selene, answered.

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