Silva

Mixed Breed · Female

I am Silva! I am a small gray kitten who was probably born around the turn of August and September 2026. On September 19th, I arrived at the shelter with my siblings. We were found in a community garden. For now, the world of humans is a bit scary for me. I am distrustful, easily frightened, and I still can't enjoy human closeness. I need someone who understands my fears and patiently shows me that I don't have to be afraid anymore. However, I feel great in cat company! I love playing with my siblings, chasing each other, and discovering everything around us. I am a cheerful, energetic girl, although I only show this side of my personality when I feel safe. I would very much like to live with one of my siblings. We are close, and the presence of another kitten could give me courage in a new home. I use a litter box, I have been vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. In the future, you should report to the shelter for a free spay/neuter procedure. Maybe with you, I will learn that human hands can give not only food, but also affection?

Mam na imię Silva! Jestem małą, szarą koteczką, która przyszła na świat prawdopodobnie na przełomie sierpnia i września 2026 roku. 19 września trafiłam do schroniska razem z moim rodzeństwem. Zostaliśmy znalezieni na ogródkach działkowych.Na razie świat ludzi jest dla mnie trochę przerażający. Jestem nieufna, łatwo się wystraszyć i jeszcze nie potrafię cieszyć się z bliskości człowieka. Potrzebuję kogoś, kto zrozumie moje obawy i cierpliwie pokaże mi, że nie muszę się już niczego bać.Za to w kocim towarzystwie czuję się znakomicie! Uwielbiam zabawy z rodzeństwem, wspólne gonitwy i odkrywanie wszystkiego, co znajduje się wokół nas. Jestem wesołą, energiczną dziewczynką, choć na razie tę stronę mojej osobowości pokazuję przede wszystkim wtedy, gdy czuję się bezpiecznie.Bardzo chciałabym zamieszkać z którymś z mojego rodzeństwa. Jesteśmy ze sobą zżyci, a obecność drugiego kotka mogłaby dodać mi odwagi w nowym domu.Korzystam z kuwety, zostałam zaszczepiona, odrobaczona i zaczipowana. W przyszłości należy zgłosić się ze mną do schroniska na bezpłatny zabieg kastracji.Może właśnie u Ciebie nauczę się, że ludzkie dłonie potrafią dawać nie tylko jedzenie, ale również czułość?

About Silva

What life with Silva looks like

Silva is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

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 Silva, answered.

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