Tamaris

Male · Young · 3 years

Tamaris has come a long way since arriving at the animal shelter. This journey has been long not only because of the time spent waiting for his person, but also due to changes in the kitten's behavior. Initially, he was terrified. He spent entire days hiding in the crate. He tried not to draw attention. Over time, he became braver. He remained out of hiding even when a person was nearby. Now Tamaris observes the area with curiosity and is also eager to play. Although he will probably never be a particularly bold cat, it can be seen that he is gradually opening up to his surroundings and contact with people. In a quiet home, feeling safe, it will be much easier for him to build a lasting relationship with his caregiver. Tamaris should definitely already move into his new home, he is a young cat, and it is easiest to reach him through play. ;) We are looking for a patient and understanding caregiver who will give him time to open up to people. We invite you to review the pre-adoption questionnaire: Before adoption, make sure your home/apartment is safe and properly prepared for welcoming a new family member. Attention: When deciding to adopt a cat or considering it, be sure to bring a carrier or transport bag for cats to the animal shelter.

Tamaris przeszedł długą drogę od przyjazdu do schroniska. Ta droga jest długa nie tylko z powodu czasu oczekiwania na swojego człowieka, ale również ze względu na zmiany w zachowaniu kocurka. Początkowo był przerażony. Całe dnie spędzał ukryty w budce. Próbował nie rzucać się w oczy. Z czasem odważył się na więcej. Pozostawał poza ukryciem nawet jak w pobliżu znajdował się człowiek. Teraz Tamaris z ciekawością obserwuje teren, jest również chętny do zabawy. Choć prawdopodobnie nigdy nie będzie kotem szczególnie odważnym to widać, że coraz mocniej otwiera się na otoczenie i kontakt z człowiekiem. W spokojnym domu, w poczuciu bezpieczeństwa będzie mu o wiele łatwiej zbudować trwałą relację z opiekunem. Tamaris zdecydowanie powinien się już przeprowadzić do swojego domu, to młody kot, do którego najłatwiej dotrzeć poprzez zabawę. ;) Szukamy dla niego cierpliwego i wyrozumiałego opiekuna, który da mu czas na otwarcie się na człowieka. Zapraszamy do zapoznania się z ankietą przedadopcyjną: Przed adopcją upewnij się, że Twój dom/mieszkanie jest bezpieczne i odpowiednio przygotowane do przyjęcia nowego członka rodziny. Uwaga: Decydując się na adopcję kota lub rozważając ją, koniecznie weź ze sobą do schroniska transporter lub torbę transportową do przewozu kotów.

About Tamaris

What life with Tamaris looks like

Tamaris is a small young 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.

Note from the shelter: Requires patient owner for socialization, was initially very fearful

🇵🇱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 Tamaris, answered.

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