Świerk

Male · Kitten · 7 months

Świerk is a roughly six-month-old tabby kitten who arrived at the Shelter together with his brother Modrzew. Modrzew has already been lucky enough to find his own home, while Świerk continues patiently waiting for his turn. He’s a young cat full of energy, curiosity, and joy for life. He’s exceptionally sweet, open, and very people-oriented. He eagerly seeks human contact, takes an active interest in everything going on around him, and makes the most of every opportunity to be petted—with immense pleasure. The closeness of his caregiver clearly brings him great happiness, and it’s hard not to succumb to his cheerful disposition. As befits a young cat, Świerk needs a home where he’ll always have plenty of daily playtime, attention, and affection. We’re looking for a loving family for him—one that will show him what true security feels like and ensure that he never again lacks love. Świerk is a carrier of the FeLV virus; therefore, he can either live as an only cat or in a home with another FeLV-positive cat. The virus poses no threat to humans or other animal species. We invite you to fill out the pre-adoption questionnaire and bring it with you when you visit the Shelter. Please note: When deciding to adopt a cat or considering adoption, be sure to bring a carrier or transport bag for cats to the Shelter. Before adopting, make sure your home or apartment is safe and properly prepared to welcome a new family member. Remember to secure windows and balconies.

Świerk to około półroczny bury kocurek, który do Schroniska trafił razem ze swoim bratem Modrzewiem. Modrzew miał już szczęście znaleźć własny dom, a Świerk wciąż cierpliwie czeka na swoją kolej. To młody kot pełen energii, ciekawości i radości życia. Jest niezwykle miły, otwarty i bardzo proludzki. Chętnie nawiązuje kontakt z człowiekiem, z zainteresowaniem uczestniczy we wszystkim, co dzieje się wokół, a każdą okazję do głasków wykorzystuje z ogromną przyjemnością. Bliskość opiekuna wyraźnie sprawia mu radość i trudno nie ulec jego pogodnemu usposobieniu. Jak na młodego kota przystało, Świerk potrzebuje domu, w którym nie zabraknie codziennej dawki zabawy, uwagi i czułości. Szukamy dla niego kochającej rodziny, która pokaże mu, czym jest prawdziwe bezpieczeństwo i sprawi, że już nigdy nie zabraknie mu miłości. Świerk jest nosicielem wirusa FeLV, dlatego może zamieszkać jako jedynak lub w domu z innym kotem FeLV+. Wirus nie stanowi zagrożenia dla ludzi ani innych gatunków zwierząt. Zapraszamy do zapoznania się z ankietą przedadopcyjną 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. Jeśli masz kota rezydenta, zabierz ze sobą wyniki testów FIV i FeLV.

About Świerk

What life with Świerk looks like

Świerk is a small puppy/kitten cat waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

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 Świerk, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Świerk?
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 Świerk on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Świerk 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 Świerk 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 Świerk 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 Świerk 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.
