Velia

Female · Young · 2 years

Velia is a young, black kitten with an extraordinary, hypnotic gaze. From the very first moments, it is clear that people are important to her. She willingly approaches, rubs against you, waits for pets, and attentively observes every movement. She is friendly, gentle, and very curious about the world. New places, smells, and toys immediately attract her attention, and contact with people brings her real joy. Velia dreams of her own home, where she can blossom, play, and enjoy the company of her caregiver. If you are looking for a beloved, companionable young cat, Velia is waiting just for you. We invite you to review the pre-adoption questionnaire and come to the animal shelter with the completed form: Before adoption, make sure your home / apartment is safe and properly prepared to welcome a new family member. Warning: If you decide to adopt a cat or are considering it, be sure to bring a carrier or transport bag to the animal shelter for transporting cats.

Velia to młoda, czarna koteczka o wyjątkowym, hipnotyzującym spojrzeniu. Od pierwszych chwil widać, że człowiek jest dla niej ważny. Chętnie podchodzi, ociera się, czeka na głaskanie i z zainteresowaniem obserwuje każdy gest. Jest przyjazna, delikatna i bardzo ciekawa świata. Nowe miejsca, zapachy i zabawki od razu przyciągają jej uwagę, a kontakt z człowiekiem sprawia jej prawdziwą radość. Velia marzy o własnym domu, w którym będzie mogła rozkwitnąć, bawić się i cieszyć bliskością swojego opiekuna. Jeśli szukasz kochanej, towarzyskiej młodej kotki Velia czeka właśnie na Ciebie. Zapraszamy do zapoznania się z ankietą przedadopcyjną i przyjazd do schroniska z już wypełnioną ankietą: 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 Velia

What life with Velia looks like

Velia 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.

🇵🇱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 Velia, answered.

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