Serafina

Female · Adult · 4 years

Serafina is a cat who doesn’t trust humans—certainly not right away. Thanks to the work of staff and volunteers, the cat now feels reasonably comfortable in human company, though she still doesn’t allow herself to be touched. However, she’s extremely curious. She observes carefully and sits nearby, happily coming over to sniff new people. She also loves playing with fishing rods or balls. Building a close bond with her will take several meetings. Serafina is very calm, and it’s clear that she approaches new acquaintances rationally; given enough patience and space, she’ll surely open up quickly. She has excellent rapport with other cats at the cattery, so she’d happily go out in pairs—especially with her sister Amelia.

Serafina jest kotem, który nie ufa ludziom, a na pewno nie tak od razu. Dzięki pracy pracowników i wolontariuszy kotka w miarę swobodnie czuje się już w towarzystwie człowieka, jednak nie daje się dotknąć. Za to jest bardzo ciekawska. Obserwuje i siada niedaleko, chętnie przychodzi obwąchać nowych ludzi, nie pogardzi zabawą wędką czy piłeczkami. By nawiązała bliskość z człowiekiem trzeba jej poświęcić kilka spotkań. Serafina jest też bardzo spokojna i widać, że racjonalnie podchodzi do nowej znajomości także przy okazaniu jej cierpliwości i przestrzeni z pewnością szybko się otworzy. Ma bardzo dobry kontakt z innymi kotami na kociarni, więc chętnie ją opuści w dwupaku, zwłaszcza ze swoją siostrą Amelią.

Frequently asked

Adopting Serafina, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Serafina?: 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 Serafina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Serafina 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Serafina 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 Serafina 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 Serafina 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.
