How do I contact the shelter about Świstakosław?

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

Can I adopt Świstakosław if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu 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 Świstakosław 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 Świstakosław 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 dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu early rather than rehoming privately; they know Świstakosław 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.

Świstakosław

Mixed Breed · Male

Świstakosław was a stray cat, so we don't know his whole story. However, the way he greets every touch of a hand suggests that he wasn't always wild, and at some point he may have had a home and people. We would like him to experience it again - this time forever. Świstak is a shy little cat who is currently sitting in a wicker house and reluctantly peeks out of it. He feels very uncertain in the cattery, so he would be better off in a home as a single cat, or possibly with another calm cat who isn't looking for trouble. How does he feel about contact with people? When a person looks inside his house, he may curl up because Świstak will only glance sideways at the approaching hand. However, don't be fooled! Once you touch this fluffy ball, Świstak will melt on the floor, delighted by every second of contact. After a few such petting sessions, Świstakosław will get up from the floor and start rubbing against anything he can to prolong the experience. This is an amazing kitten who just needs a person for himself to completely open up and gain confidence. Maybe you will be that person?

PL·Show original

Świstakosław był kotem wolnożyjącym, więc cała jego historia nie jest nam znana. Jednak to, z jaką radością przyjmuje każde dotknięcie dłonią, sugeruje nam, że nie zawsze żył dziko, a kiedyś mógł mieć swój dom i swoich ludzi. Chcielibyśmy, by ponownie mógł tego doświadczyć – tym razem na zawsze. Świstak to nieśmiały kocurek, który siedzi na ten moment w wiklinowym domku i niechętnie wychyla z niego głowę. Na kociarni czuje się bardzo niepewnie, dlatego lepiej by trafił do domu jako jedynak, ewentualnie do innego spokojnego kota, który nie szukałby zaczepki. A jak czuje się w kontakcie z ludźmi? Gdy człowiek zajrzy do środka jego domku, może się zlęc, bo Świstak spojrzy tylko spode łba na zbliżającą się dłoń. Jednak nie dajcie się zwieść! Gdy już dotkniecie tego zbitego futerka, Świstak rozpłynie wam się po podłodze, zachwycony każdą sekundą kontaktu. Po kilku takich sesjach miziania, Świstakosław wstanie z podłogi i zacznie ocierać się o co tylko może, by przedłużyć doznania. To niesamowity kociak, który potrzebuje tylko człowieka dla siebie, by kompletnie się otworzyć i nabrać pewności siebie. Może to właśnie Ty będziesz tym człowiekiem?
