How do I contact the shelter about Stein?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja Puszatek handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Stein on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Stein if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Puszatek 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 Stein 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 Stein 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 Puszatek early rather than rehoming privately; they know Stein 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.

Stein

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Stein arrived at the shelter in October 2025. He had a paralysis of his hind legs and was suspected to have been involved in an accident. His stay at the shelter proved very stressful for Stein. Initially, he was terrified of humans. We do not know what happened to him in life, but we know that he desperately needs peace and his own corner. He does not like sudden movements. For now, he stays in his bed where he feels safe. He allows people he knows to pet him for a moment. Stein is slowly opening up. He needs someone who will show him the world is beautiful. A caregiver who shows him love and dedicates time. Today, Stein moves better and better, but he will require further observation of his health. We are looking for a quiet home for Stein that will not immediately expect friendship from him. An experienced person in caring for such a sensitive kitten. We believe that with a little understanding, in a peaceful home, among people who give him love and patience, he can become a great feline companion. Come, love, adopt! NAME: Stein (415/25) SEX: Tomcat AGE: Approximately 5 years CASTRATION / STERILIZATION: Yes VACCINATION / DEWORMING / FLEA TREATMENT: Yes / Yes / Yes HEALTH: He arrived with paralysis of his hind legs, but now he moves fairly well. CHARACTER: The tomcat is withdrawn and needs time to trust a human. FOR WHO: We are looking for a patient caregiver who will surround him with care, help him regain peace and a sense of security. Stein stays at the OTOZ Animals "Ciapkowo" homeless animal shelter in Gdynia. For adoption, please contact us by phone 786 423 527 or 58 622 25 52 or email:

Stein trafił do schroniska w październiku 2025 rok. Miał niedowład tylnych łapek, podejrzewano, że mógł ulec wypadkowi. Pobyt w schronisko okazał się dla Steina bardzo stresujący. Początkowo panicznie bał się człowieka. Nie wiemy, co go w życiu spotkało, ale wiemy, że bardzo potrzebuje spokoju i własnego kąta. Nie przepada za gwałtownymi ruchami. Na razie przebywa w swoim legowisku, w którym czuje się bezpiecznie. Osobom, które zna, pozwala się chwilkę pogłaskać. Małymi kroczkami Stein otwiera się. Potrzebuje osoby, która pokaże mu, ze świat jest piękny. Opiekuna, który okaże mu serce i poświęci czas. Dziś Stein porusza się coraz lepiej, będzie wymagał dalszych obserwacji stanu zdrowia. Szukamy dla Steina spokojnego domku, który nie będzie od razu oczekiwał od niego przyjaźni. Doświadczonego w opiece nad tak wrażliwym kocurkiem. Wierzymy, że przy odrobinie wyrozumiałości, w spokojnym domu, wśród ludzi którzy obdarzą go miłością i cierpliwością, może stać się świetnym kocim kompanem. Przyjdź, pokochaj, adoptuj!

About Stein

What life with Stein looks like

Stein is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja Puszatek in Warszawa.

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.
