Szelvik

Mixed Breed · Male

Hello, I'm Szelvik! I'm a small gray kitten who was probably born in late August or early September 2026. I came to the shelter on September 19th with my three sisters. We used to live in a garden allotment. Although I'm a boy full of energy, I'm still not brave around people. I'm shy and scared, so I don't seek contact with humans. I need time to convince myself that nothing bad is going to happen to me. But when I'm with my sisters, my fear takes a back seat! I love to play, run, and participate in all the cat antics. I'm a cheerful little guy with a lot of energy to expend. The company of other cats gives me a sense of security, so it would be ideal if I could live with one of my sisters, or maybe even with most of our four of us? I use the litter box nicely. I've already been vaccinated, dewormed, and chipped, and in the future, I should go to the shelter for a free castration procedure. I'm looking for a quiet, understanding home where I'll get as much time as I need to open up to humans. I believe that with the right support, I'll show how wonderful I can be as a feline companion!

Cześć, jestem Szelvik! Jestem małym, szarym kocurkiem, który urodził się prawdopodobnie na przełomie sierpnia i września 2026 roku. Do schroniska trafiłem 19 września razem z moimi trzema siostrami. Wcześniej mieszkaliśmy na ogródkach działkowych.Choć jestem chłopakiem pełnym energii, to odwagi wobec ludzi jeszcze mi brakuje. Na razie jestem nieufny i wystraszony, dlatego nie szukam kontaktu z człowiekiem. Potrzebuję czasu, żeby przekonać się, że nic złego mi nie grozi. Za to kiedy jestem z siostrami, strach schodzi na dalszy plan! Uwielbiam się bawić, biegać i uczestniczyć we wszystkich kocich wygłupach. Jestem wesołym maluchem, który ma mnóstwo energii do spożytkowania. Towarzystwo innych kotów daje mi poczucie bezpieczeństwa, dlatego idealnie byłoby, gdybym mógł zamieszkać z jedną z moich sióstr, a może nawet z większą częścią naszej czwórki?Ładnie korzystam z kuwety. Zostałem już zaszczepiony, odrobaczony i zaczipowany, a w przyszłości należy zgłosić się ze mną do schroniska na bezpłatny zabieg kastracji.Szukam spokojnego, wyrozumiałego domu, w którym dostanę tyle czasu, ile będę potrzebował, żeby otworzyć się na człowieka. Wierzę, że przy odpowiednim wsparciu jeszcze pokażę, jak wspaniałym potrafię być kocim towarzyszem!

About Szelvik

What life with Szelvik looks like

Szelvik is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Szelvik, answered.

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