How do I contact the shelter about Sonia?

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 Sonia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Sonia 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Sonia 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 Sonia 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 Sonia 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.

Sonia

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

Unfortunately our beloved senior Sonia has returned to us due to the owner's health condition :-( 2026-04-24I have a great home in Zabrze :-) 5.03.2026Hello! I am Sonia, a lovely Scottish Fold cat with beautiful golden eyes. My story began in Ukraine, where I was born in 2013. I moved to Poland with my family to enjoy a new life together. Unfortunately, fate can be fickle. After certain disturbances, I ended up in an animal shelter for the first time on July 30, 2023, as a result of police intervention. However, I soon returned to my caretaker. Recently, on September 23, 2025, I again found myself on the street, hungry and sick. My caretaker no longer lived at the old address, and her phone was not responding. I am an older cat who requires special care. I have various moods - sometimes I come happily for pets, and sometimes I can show my claws. I use a litter box, but I require regular visits to the veterinarian to take care of my health. I am already neutered and vaccinated, and soon, when I feel better, I will be vaccinated and spayed. I am looking for a quiet home where I can spend my golden years in proper care.

Niestety nasza kochana seniorka Sonia, wróciła do nas z uwagi na stan zdrowotny właściciela :-( 2026-04-24Mam super dom w Zabrzu :-) 5.03.2026Cześć! Jestem Sonia, urocza kotka rasy szkocki zwisłouchy o pięknych złotych oczach. Moja historia zaczęła się na Ukrainie, gdzie przyszłam na świat w 2013 roku. Przeprowadziłam się do Polski z moją rodziną, by razem cieszyć się nowym życiem. Niestety, los bywa kapryśny. Po pewnych perturbacjach, znalazłam się w schronisku po raz pierwszy 30 lipca 2023 roku w wyniku interwencji Policji. Wkrótce jednak wróciłam do mojej opiekunki. Niedawno, 23 września 2025, ponownie znalazłam się na ulicy, głodna i schorowana. Moja opiekunka już nie mieszkała pod dawnym adresem, a jej telefon nie odpowiadał. Jestem starszą kotką, która potrzebuje specjalnej troski. Miewam różne humory – czasami z radością przychodzę po pieszczoty, a czasem potrafię pokazać pazurki. Korzystam z kuwety, ale wymagam regularnych wizyt u weterynarza, aby zadbać o moje zdrowie. Już jestem odrobaczona i zaczipowana, a wkrótce, kiedy poczuję się lepiej, zostanę zaszczepiona i wysterylizowana. Szukam spokojnego domu, gdzie będę mogła spędzić moje złote lata w odpowiedniej opiece.

About Sonia

What life with Sonia looks like

Sonia is a 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. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.
