Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Velma - a cat whose FIV takes away her dreams of a home...Velma is a few years old cat with a difficult past. She fought for survival on the streets, often overlooked and avoided by many. When she came to the Foundation, we hoped that someone would love her quickly. Unfortunately, FIV often rules out the chances of cats finding a home.Why? Because many people fear immune deficiency. And yet, Velma does not have a deficiency of love - her heart is huge and ready to give to a human. She still has many years of life ahead of her, which she can spend as a faithful companion.She loves petting and human contact, and she prefers to spend time in the kitchen, where she is always close to her caregiver. She has a unique, smoky fur and big eyes that look deep into human hearts. Velma can also live with healthy cats! Do you want to meet Velma and learn more about living with FIV? Call us.

Velma – kotka, której FIV odbiera marzenia o domu…Velma to kilkuletnia kotka z niełatwym bagażem doświadczeń. Walczyła o przetrwanie na ulicy, przez wielu była niedostrzegana i omijana. Kiedy trafiła do Fundacji, mieliśmy nadzieję, że ktoś szybko ją pokocha. Niestety, FIV często skreśla szanse kotów na dom.Dlaczego? Bo wielu ludzi obawia się niedoboru odporności. A przecież Velma nie ma niedoboru miłości – jej serce jest ogromne i gotowe do oddania człowiekowi. Przed nią jeszcze wiele lat życia, które może spędzić jako wierna towarzyszka.Uwielbia głaskanie i kontakt z człowiekiem, a najchętniej spędza czas w kuchni, gdzie zawsze jest blisko swojego opiekuna. Ma wyjątkowe, przydymione futerko i duże oczy, którymi zagląda w głąb ludzkich serduszek. Velma może także mieszkać ze zdrowymi kotami! Chcesz poznać Velmę i dowiedzieć się więcej o życiu z FIV?

About Velma

What life with Velma looks like

Velma is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja Pomocy Zwierzętom Kłębek 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 Velma, answered.

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