Szymek

Male · Adult · 6 years

Meet Szymek, a wonderful little cat who has been seeking human companionship from the very first moments. He’s a true lover of petting and playful interactions, and his charm quickly wins hearts. Szymek is currently on a diet because he’s struggling with being overweight, so we’re looking for a patient and loving home that will take good care of his needs. He’s a feline gentleman who will surely repay you with affection, company, and lots of purring. We invite you to fill out the pre-adoption questionnaire and come visit the shelter with the completed form already prepared. Before adopting, make sure your home or apartment is safe and properly equipped to welcome a new family member. 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.

About Szymek

What life with Szymek looks like

Szymek 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.

🇵🇱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 Szymek, answered.

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