Simba

Male · Adult · 10 years

Simba is a white male cat who originally came to us just for a quick spay/neuter and treatment of dermatological issues related to very sensitive, white ears. Unfortunately, during the diagnostic process, it became clear that his health condition requires much greater care, and Simba has already thoroughly won our hearts. ❤️ This older kitten likely had never had contact with a vet before. Thanks to the performed tests, several chronic conditions were detected. Simba suffers from kidney disease (stage III kidney failure and proteinuria), and also battles gastrointestinal issues, including advanced SIBO and a gastrointestinal-kidney syndrome. In the meantime, liver problems have also appeared, but thanks to treatment, parameters have been stabilized. Simba also underwent treatment for giardia and currently remains under control due to toxoplasmosis. The diseases are chronic but are being treated and are currently more or less stabilized. Recently, Simba also underwent a procedure to remove all teeth and today is already a brave toothless kitty. 😺Despite this, he manages very well and it in no way hinders his daily functioning.

PL·Show original

Simba to biały kocurek, który miał trafić do nas jedynie „na chwilę” -na kastrację oraz leczenie problemów dermatologicznych związanych z bardzo wrażliwymi, białymi uszami. Niestety podczas diagnostyki okazało się, że jego stan zdrowia wymaga znacznie większej opieki, a sam Simba już na dobre skradł nasze serca. ❤️ To starszy kotek, który prawdopodobnie wcześniej nigdy nie miał kontaktu z weterynarzem. Dzięki wykonanym badaniom udało się wykryć u niego kilka przewlekłych schorzeń. Simba choruje na nerki (III stadium niewydolności nerek oraz białkomocz), zmaga się również z problemami jelitowymi, w tym zaawansowanym SIBO i zespołem jelitowo-nerkowym. W międzyczasie pojawiły się także problemy z wątrobą, jednak dzięki leczeniu parametry udało się ustabilizować. Simba przeszedł również leczenie giardii oraz obecnie pozostaje pod kontrolą w związku z toksoplazmozą. Choroby mają charakter przewlekły, ale są leczone i obecnie pozostają w miarę ustabilizowane. Niedawno Simba przeszedł także zabieg usunięcia wszystkich zębów i dziś jest już dzielnym bezzębnym kocurkiem. 😺Mimo tego świetnie sobie radzi i w żaden sposób nie przeszkadza mu to w codziennym funkcjonowaniu.

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a adult cat waiting at Fundacja Dla Zwierząt Animalia Poznań in Poznań.

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 Simba, answered.

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