SMERFIK

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

Smerfik arrived at the shelter in very poor condition. He was lonely, untreated, and the feline flu had already caused extensive damage. Unfortunately, his eyes could not be saved. At the shelter, he underwent enucleation, a procedure to remove the diseased eye. One might think that after all this, he would lose trust in people. That he would be afraid of an outstretched hand. Smerfik is a wonderful, beloved tomcat who really likes people. When he wants to be on your lap, he can purr loudly and beautifully, as if to say: "Take me away, I want to be close to you." And when he's not sitting on your lap? He runs, climbs, and enjoys life as if nothing had happened. The lack of an eye doesn't bother him at all. Smerfik copes perfectly and is an energetic, curious kitten.

Smerfik trafił do schroniska w bardzo złym stanie. Był samotny, nieleczony, a koci katar zdążył wyrządzić ogromne szkody. Niestety, jego oczka nie udało się już uratować. W schronisku przeszedł zabieg enukleacji, czyli usunięcia chorego oczka. Można by pomyśleć, że po tym wszystkim straci zaufanie do ludzi. Że będzie bał się wyciągniętej ręki. Smerfik jest cudownym, kochanym kocurkiem, który bardzo lubi człowieka. Kiedy chce na kolanka, potrafi głośno i pięknie mruczeć, jakby chciał powiedzieć: „Zabierz mnie stąd, chcę być blisko Ciebie”. A kiedy akurat nie siedzi na kolanach? Biega, wspina się i korzysta z życia tak, jakby nigdy nic się nie wydarzyło. Brak oczka w niczym mu nie przeszkadza. Smerfik doskonale sobie radzi i jest pełnym energii, ciekawym świata kotkiem.

About SMERFIK

What life with SMERFIK looks like

SMERFIK is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko Świdnica in Poland.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇵🇱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 SMERFIK, answered.

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