Szymon

Mixed Breed · Male

Szymon is a young, approximately one-year-old tomcat who came under our care from an area of one of the markets in Wiskitno, Łódź. His place of residence was not safe - parking lot, noise, car traffic, and he - as if completely unaware of the danger - ran between cars, approached people, and licked the store employees. 😿 He was caught for neutering, but we quickly realized that he deserved a chance and finding a real home. His place of residence was not a place for a cat - neither quiet nor safe. Currently, Szymon lives in Mruczarni, where he is still adapting. The beginning was difficult - as it usually happens when a cat from the street gets to a closed space. But the boy is making progress! What helps him? Other cats. Szymon loves their company. He plays, sleeps with them, feels safe - that's why we are looking for him a home where he will have a feline companion. He can also be adopted together with one of the residents of Mruczarni 🐱🐾. At the moment, Szymon is not a typical cuddler. He allows himself to be petted, but does not initiate contact. He needs more time, silence, stability - and above all: his own home and his own person. We believe that in the right conditions he will flourish, because even before, still in the wild, he was drawn to people who fed him. He knows that a person is not an enemy. He just needs a chance. 🩺 Szymon is healthy and ready for adoption: ✔ neutered ✔ vaccinated ✔ chipped ✔ FIV/FeLV tests - negative 📣 If you have a cat at home and a place in your heart for another - give Szymon a chance. He is not a wild cat, he is a cat with the potential for a wonderful companion who needs a little time to tame. In return, you can gain a friend for life. We invite those interested in adopting Szymon to: 🖋️ fill out the pre-adoption questionnaire, available at 👉 pl/ankieta-przedadopcyjna/ 📞 phone one of the numbers: ☎️ 530 271 003 or ☎️ 798 922 412 . Szymon is currently in Mruczarni, in the town of Słowik (Łódź province) 📍. And if you would like to adopt Szymon virtually 💻, just write to the address wirtualki.pl ✉️, give his name, and then, every month 📆, you will pay the declared amount to the foundation's account 💰. The minimum amount is PLN 30 (there is no upper limit, so you can go wild 🎉💞).

Szymon to młodziutki, około roczny kocurek, który trafił pod naszą opiekę z terenu jednego z marketów na łódzkim Wiskitnie. Miejsce jego bytowania nie należało do bezpiecznych – parking, hałas, ruch samochodowy, a on – jakby zupełnie nieświadomy zagrożenia – biegał między autami, zbliżał się do ludzi, łasił się do pracowników sklepu. 😿 Został odłowiony na zabieg kastracji, ale szybko zrozumieliśmy, że zasługuje na szansę i znalezienie prawdziwego domu. Miejsce jego bytowania, to nie był teren dla kota – ani spokojny, ani bezpieczny. Obecnie Szymon mieszka w Mruczarni, gdzie nadal się adaptuje. Początki były trudne – jak to zwykle bywa, gdy kot z ulicy trafia do zamkniętej przestrzeni. Ale chłopak robi postępy! Co mu pomaga? Inne koty. Szymon uwielbia ich towarzystwo. Bawi się, śpi z nimi, czuje się bezpiecznie – dlatego szukamy mu domu, w którym będzie miał kociego kompana. Może też zostać adoptowany razem z którymś z mieszkańców Mruczarni 🐱🐾. Na ten moment Szymon jeszcze nie jest typowym miziakiem. Pozwala się głaskać, ale nie inicjuje kontaktu. Potrzebuje więcej czasu, ciszy, stabilności – i przede wszystkim: własnego domu i własnego człowieka. Wierzymy, że w odpowiednich warunkach rozkwitnie, bo już wcześniej, jeszcze na wolności, garnął się do ludzi, którzy go dokarmiali. On wie, że człowiek to nie wróg. Potrzebuje tylko szansy. 🩺 Szymon jest zdrowy i gotowy do adopcji: ✔ wykastrowany ✔ zaszczepiony ✔ zaczipowany ✔ testy FIV/FeLV – ujemne 📣 Jeśli masz w domu kota i miejsce w sercu dla drugiego – daj Szymonowi szansę. To nie jest dziki kot, to kot z potencjałem na cudownego towarzysza, który potrzebuje trochę czasu na oswojenie. W zamian możesz zyskać przyjaciela na całe życie. Zainteresowanych adopcją Szymka zapraszamy do: 🖋️ wypełnienia ankiety przedadopcyjnej, dostępnej pod adresem 👉 pl/ankieta-przedadopcyjna/ 📞 telefonu na jeden z numerów: ☎️ 530 271 003 lub ☎️ 798 922 412 . Szymon przebywa obecnie w Mruczarni, w miejscowości Słowik (woj. łódzkie) 📍. A jeśli chcielibyście adoptować Szymonka wirtualnie 💻, wystarczy, że napiszecie na adres wirtualki. pl ✉️, podacie jego imię, a później, co miesiąc 📆, będziecie wpłacać zadeklarowaną sumę na konto fundacji 💰. Minimalna kwota to 30 zł (górnej granicy nie ma, także możecie szaleć do woli) 🎉💞.

About Szymon

What life with Szymon looks like

Szymon is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at PrzytulKota 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 Szymon, answered.

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