Adopt USZKO

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Sometimes I might be considered a true challenge. I'm an older cat and it's hard for me to trust people. Occasionally, when I'm in the cage, I might be persuaded to let someone stroke me, but... I'm still not convinced. I'm looking for a temporary home because I want to give people a chance, I want to get closer. Even in the cattery, I'm still scared—I hide and observe, and when someone gets too close—I hiss warningly. I don't want to be afraid, I want to trust someone and simply experience their warmth and care. Some people like challenges. Maybe you'd like to try your luck and take me in?

Przez niektórych mogę być uznany za prawdziwe wyzwanie. Jestem dość wiekowym kotem i trudno mi przekonać się do ludzi, boję się. Czasem gdy siedzę w klatce to ewentualnie dam się namówić, żeby ktoś mnie pogłaskał ale… nadal nie jestem przekonany. Poszukuję domu tymczasowego, ponieważ chcę dać ludziom szansę, chciałbym się przekonać do bliższego kontaktu. Będąc w bawialni nadal się boję- chowam się i obserwuję, a kiedy ktoś podejdzie za blisko – syczę ostrzegawczo. Nie chcę się bać, chcę komuś zaufać i po prostu doświadczyć czyjegoś ciepła i troski. Niektórzy lubią wyzwania. Może i Ty chciałbyś spróbować swoich sił i wziąć mnie do siebie?

About USZKO

What life with USZKO looks like

USZKO is a small senior mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja Głosem Zwierząt in Polska.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇵🇱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 USZKO, answered.

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