Shira

Female · Young · 3 years

Shira is a little observer who learns by watching and imitating other cats. On the cat premises, you’ll quickly spot those large amber-colored eyes with a hint of green, gazing curiously at whatever this human is doing. Shira is a shy, tiny kitten, but she knows what a food bowl is—and she’s certain that if something has been left out somewhere, it must be good, and her little nose will be the first to investigate. While eating, she gradually allows herself to be petted, so delicious food and tasty treats will definitely help her adjust to her new home. She gets along well in the company of other cats.

Shira ta mała obserwatorka, która uczy się poprzez obserwację i zachowanie innych kotów. Na kociarni szybko można napotkać te wielkie oczy w kolorze bursztynowym z odrobiną zieleni, które z zaciekawieniem patrzą, co ten człowiek robi. Shira jest nieśmiałą drobniutką kotką, ale wie co to miseczka i że na pewno jak zostało coś tam położone, to jest dobre, a jej pyszczek pierwszy się tam pojawia. Podczas jedzenia powoli daje się głaskać, dlatego dobre jedzonko oraz smaczki na pewno pomogą jej w aklimatyzacji w nowym domu. Dobrze sobie radzi w towarzystwie innych kotów.

About Shira

What life with Shira looks like

Shira is a small young adult 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. Adopters usually cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Shira, answered.

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