Shiba

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Shiba is a cat who came to the animal shelter as a mother - exhausted, quiet, brave. She brought along an entire litter of kittens... only one survived. Although fate was not kind to her, Shiba did not give up. Hidden in her corner, she lovingly cared for the kitten and accepted everything that each new day brought with quiet dignity. She is calm and gentle. She does not draw attention, nor does she demand it. She carefully observes, as if wanting to first understand whether the person approaching her deserves her trust. But when she does gain it... magic happens. Shiba gently curls into your arms, accepts petting with her eyes closed and forgets about the whole world. This cat mother deserves a home where someone will finally take care of her - patiently, with love, and peace. We are looking for a warm place for Shiby, where she can finally think only about herself and sleep safely - no longer in vigilance, but in peace. Shiba is waiting... for a person who will see her - and truly love her. 🖤 FIV/ FeLV tests:

PL·Show original

Shiba to kotka, która do schroniska trafiła jako matka – wyczerpana, cicha, dzielna. Przyniosła ze sobą cały miot maluszków… z których tylko jedno przetrwało. Choć los nie był dla niej łaskawy, Shiba nie poddała się. Schowana w swoim kąciku, troskliwie opiekowała się maleństwem i z cichą godnością przyjmowała wszystko, co przynosił każdy kolejny dzień. Jest spokojna i delikatna. Nie rzuca się w oczy, nie domaga się uwagi. Obserwuje uważnie, jakby chciała najpierw zrozumieć, czy człowiek, który się do niej zbliża, zasługuje na jej zaufanie. Ale gdy już je zdobędzie… dzieje się magia. Shiba z ogromną czułością wtula się w ramiona, przyjmuje głaskanie z zamkniętymi oczami i zapomina o całym świecie. Ta kocia mama zasługuje na dom, w którym wreszcie ktoś zaopiekuje się nią – cierpliwie, z miłością, spokojem. Szukamy dla Shiby miejsca pełnego ciepła, gdzie będzie mogła po raz pierwszy pomyśleć tylko o sobie i bezpiecznie zasnąć – już nie w czujności, lecz w spokoju. Shiba czeka… na człowieka, który ją zobaczy – i pokocha naprawdę. 🖤 Testy FIV/ FeLV: ujemne

About Shiba

What life with Shiba looks like

Shiba is a medium-sized adult mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko Tomaszów Mazowiecki in Poland.

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 Shiba, answered.

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