Werek

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Werek male cat, who came to our animal shelter on August 1, 2024, after the death of his beloved caretaker. It has been determined that Werek was born in 2019, he has never been a stray cat, he has always been well cared for, and his owner took him in a carrier to the veterinarian. Unfortunately, the animal shelter turned out to be very stressful for him, the first days he hardly moved from his spot and was afraid of every movement. Much has changed since then, now he demands attention and likes to spend time close to the caretakers, but it cannot be said that everything is perfect - the presence of other cats probably causes him unpredictable reactions. It would be best to find him a quiet home - without other animals and small children, it can be seen that this is what he lacks the most in our shelter. He loves to lounge around and watch the world through the window. Uses a litter box.

Werek kocurek, który w naszym schronisku zamieszkał 1 sierpnia 2024 roku po śmierci swojej ukochanej opiekuni. Udało na się ustalić, że Werek urodził się w 2019 roku, nigdy nie był kotem wychodzącym, zawsze był zadbany, a jego Pani zabierała go w kocyku do weterynarza. Niestety schronisko okazało się dla niego bardzo dużym stresem, pierwsze dni niemalże w ogóle nie ruszał się z miejsca i bał się każdego ruchu. Dużo się zmieniło od tego czasu, teraz domaga się uwagi i chętnie spędza czas blisko opiekunek, jednak nie można powiedzieć, żeby było idealnie - prawdopodobnie obecność innych kotów powodu u niego nieprzewidywalne reakcje. Najlepiej byłoby znaleźć mu spokojny dom - bez innych zwierząt i małych dzieci, widać, że to właśnie stabilizacji brakuje mu u nas najbardziej. Uwielbia leniuchować i obserwować świat za oknem.Korzysta z kuwety.

About Werek

What life with Werek looks like

Werek is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko Zabrze in Zabrze.

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 Werek, answered.

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