Stjesza

Female · Adult · 6 years

Stjesza is a 5-year-old, beautiful cat who is really struggling with being in the animal shelter. A new place and environment strongly overwhelm her, so for now she tries to stay in the background and needs peace. She doesn't show aggression, but clearly shows that she needs time to get used to the situation and feel safe. With the right conditions and a patient and calm caregiver, Stjesza will be able to gradually gain confidence and find balance. We are looking for a home that respects her boundaries and allows her to open up at her own pace. Before adoption, we recommend completing the pre-adoption questionnaire and coming to the animal shelter with the completed form: Attention: If you decide to adopt a cat or are considering it, make sure to bring a carrier or transport bag for cats to the animal shelter. Before adoption, make sure your home/apartment is safe and properly prepared for the new family member. Remember to secure the windows and balcony.

Stjesza to około 5-letnia, piękna kotka, która bardzo przeżywa pobyt w schronisku. Nowe miejsce i otoczenie mocno ją onieśmielają, dlatego na razie stara się trzymać na uboczu i potrzebuje spokoju. Nie wykazuje agresji, po prostu jasno pokazuje, że potrzebuje czasu, by oswoić się z sytuacją i poczuć się bezpiecznie. W odpowiednich warunkach, przy cierpliwym i spokojnym opiekunie, Stjesza będzie mogła stopniowo nabierać pewności i odnaleźć równowagę. Szukamy dla niej domu, który uszanuje jej granice i pozwoli jej otwierać się we własnym tempie. Przed adopcją sugerujemy zapoznanie się z kwestionariuszem przedadopcyjnym i przyjazd do schroniska z już wypełnioną ankietą: Uwaga: Decydując się na adopcję kota lub rozważając ją, koniecznie weź ze sobą do schroniska transporter lub torbę transportową do przewozu kotów. Przed adopcją upewnij się, że Twój dom / mieszkanie jest bezpieczne i odpowiednio przygotowane do przyjęcia nowego członka rodziny. Pamiętaj, żeby zabezpieczyć okna i balkon.

About Stjesza

What life with Stjesza looks like

Stjesza is a small adult cat waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

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.

Note from the shelter: Needs quiet environment and patient owner to overcome shelter stress

🇵🇱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 Stjesza, answered.

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