Szakal

Mixed Breed · Male

We don't even know where to begin the story of the Jackal. The beginning was quite innocent. In April, we received a request to help fund a visit to a homeless kitten who had been castrated two days earlier as part of a municipal program. Unfortunately, he felt very unwell after the procedure. On the same day, he was taken to a clinic that cooperates with us. And then it turned out that the situation was much more serious than anyone had suspected. The Jackal had a huge scrotum swelling, a very large castration wound, a hematoma in the scrotum, and a developing bacterial infection that began to affect the pelvic tissues as well. The surgery clearly did not go as it should. We decided that he could not return to the street. The Jackal was taken to the hospital under the care of our Foundation. Unfortunately, his list of problems did not end there. It turned out that he had very sick, even rotting teeth. In addition, he had a broken tail and problems with defecation. An orthopedic consultation and a set of X-rays were necessary to check if the pelvis was damaged in addition to the tail injury. Fortunately, the pelvis turned out to be intact. Today, the Jackal feels much better. He has come a long way and we can finally start thinking about his future, not just about saving him from further health problems. There is one problem left - the Jackal sometimes loses feces. It does not happen often, but you have to be aware that such a situation may also happen in the future. Does this rule out his chance of finding a home? Absolutely not. The Jackal has suffered enough already. Now he needs a person who will look at him not through the prism of what happened to him, but will see a cat who has been given a second chance at life. We are looking for a responsible, calm home for him that will accept his minor problem and give him a sense of security. Do you want to give the Jackal a chance? Fill out the adoption form, and we will make an appointment with you. Send a message on Facebook > 504 803 311 Link to the form

Nie wiemy nawet, od czego zacząć historię Szakala.Początki były dość niewinne. W kwietniu dostaliśmy prośbę o pomoc w sfinansowaniu wizyty u bezdomnego kocurka, który dwa dni wcześniej został wykastrowany w ramach gminnego programu. Niestety po zabiegu bardzo źle się poczuł.Jeszcze tego samego dnia trafił do współpracującej z nami przychodni. I wtedy okazało się, że sytuacja jest znacznie poważniejsza, niż ktokolwiek przypuszczał.Szakal miał ogromny obrzęk moszny, bardzo dużą ranę po kastracji, krwiaka w mosznie oraz rozwijające się zakażenie bakteryjne, które zaczęło obejmować również tkanki miednicy. Zdecydowanie zabieg poszedł nie tak jak powinien. Podjęliśmy decyzję, że nie może wrócić na ulicę. Szakal został w szpitalu pod opieką naszej Fundacji.I niestety na tym lista jego problemów się nie skończyła.Okazało się, że miał bardzo chore, wręcz gnijące zęby. Do tego złamany ogon i problemy z oddawaniem kału. Konieczna była konsultacja ortopedyczna oraz wykonanie kompletu zdjęć RTG, aby sprawdzić, czy poza urazem ogona nie doszło również do uszkodzenia miednicy.Na szczęście miednica okazała się cała.Dziś Szakal czuje się zdecydowanie lepiej. Przeszedł długą drogę i wreszcie możemy zacząć myśleć o jego przyszłości, a nie tylko o ratowaniu go z kolejnych problemów zdrowotnych.Pozostał jeden problem – Szakalowi zdarza się gubić kał. Nie dzieje się to często, ale trzeba mieć świadomość, że taka sytuacja może się zdarzyć również w przyszłości.Czy to przekreśla jego szansę na dom?Absolutnie nie.Szakal już wystarczająco dużo wycierpiał. Teraz potrzebuje człowieka, który spojrzy na niego nie przez pryzmat tego, co mu się przydarzyło, ale zobaczy kota, który dostał drugą szansę na życie.Szukamy dla niego odpowiedzialnego, spokojnego domu, który zaakceptuje jego drobny problem i da mu poczucie bezpieczeństwa. Chcesz dać szansę Szakalowi? Wypełnij ankietę adopcyjną, a my umówimy się z Tobą na spotkanie. Wyślij wiadomość na Facebooku > 504 803 311 Link do ankiety

About Szakal

What life with Szakal looks like

Szakal is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja Pomocy Zwierzętom Kłębek in Poland.

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. Adopters usually cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Szakal, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Szakal?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja Pomocy Zwierzętom Kłębek handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Szakal on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Szakal if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Pomocy Zwierzętom Kłębek 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Szakal 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 Szakal 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 Pomocy Zwierzętom Kłębek early rather than rehoming privately; they know Szakal 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.
