How do I contact the shelter about Viva?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fundacja Stawiamy na Łapy handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Viva on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Viva if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fundacja Stawiamy na Łapy 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 Viva 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 Viva 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 Stawiamy na Łapy early rather than rehoming privately; they know Viva 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.

Viva

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Viva came to the foundation from a street in Krakow together with her brother Antek, and now she shares a temporary home with her brother and our little ward Kasownik. At first, Antek and Vivy were quite distrustful of the idea of becoming friends with humans, but over time they realized that being a house cat is a really cool thing. Viva likes to be petted, and she can sell a very strong ram with her head when a person is distracted and doesn't pet her right away when the cat wants to be petted. She can be carried in arms, but that's not her favorite activity. When the small Kasownik joined the siblings, Viva was not happy, but over time she learned to play with the kitten, and sometimes even grooms her. As Viva writes about herself: Recently a lady photographer came and took our photos. I don't know if I will be satisfied with the results, because this brown mess (Kasownik) that I live with kept bothering me during the posing. I was supposed to have nice photos with a fishing rod, but the small one kept jumping and blocking me. Time will show who is the real model. We are looking for a home for Vivy that is indoor-only, loving, safe, with a secured balcony (if there is one) and/or windows, which will surround her with the best care. We would love to place her with her brother Antek but it is not a necessary condition. WARNING!

Viva trafiła do fundacji z krakowskiej ulicy razem z bratem Antkiem, obecnie dzieli dom tymczasowy z bratem i naszą małą podopieczną Kasownik. Na początku Antek z Vivą byli dość nieufni jeśli chodzi o pomysły zaprzyjaźniania się z człowiekiem ale z czasem przekonali się, że bycie kotem domowym to bardzo fajna fucha. Viva lubi głaskanie, potrafi sprzedać całkiem mocnego baranka głową, gdy człowiek się zagapi i nie pogłaszcze od razu gdy kot ma na to ochotę. Można ją nosić na rękach, ale nie to jej ulubione zajęcie. Kiedy do rodzeństwa dołączyła mała Kasownik o Viva nie była zadowolona, ale z czasem nauczyła się z koteczką bawić, a nawet czasem ją pielęgnuje. Jak pisze Viva o sobie : Ostatnio przyszła Pani fotograf i robiła nam zdjęcia. Nie wiem czy będę zadowolona z efektów, bo ta bura paskuda (Kasownik) z którą mieszkamy ciągle mi przeszkadzała w pozowaniu. Miałam mieć ładne foteczki z wędką, a to małe się rzucało i mnie zasłaniało. Czas pokaże kto jest prawdziwą modelką. Szukamy dla Vivy niewychodzącego, kochającego, bezpiecznego domu, z zabezpieczonym balkonem (jeśli jest) i/lub oknami, który otoczy ją najlepszą opieką. Chętnie w dwupaku z bratem Antkiem ale nie jest to warunek konieczny. UWAGA! Aby adoptować kota postępuj wg poniższych wytycznych: Otwórz ankietę adopcyjną (link: ), wypełnij i poczekaj na kontakt z naszej strony – zadzwonimy lub odpiszemy na maila, żeby umówić się na wizytę przedadopcyjną.

About Viva

What life with Viva looks like

Viva is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Fundacja Stawiamy na Łapy 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. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.
