How do I contact the shelter about Żabka?

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

Can I adopt Żabka if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Maukula ry 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 Żabka 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 Żabka 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 Maukula ry early rather than rehoming privately; they know Żabka 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 (FI). 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.

Żabka

Mixed Breed · Female

A loving home is sought for a handsome approximately 2-year-old Żabka cat. Initially, Żabka was very aggressive and did not trust humans at all. As soon as someone approached, Żabka was ready to attack and protect its back. Over time, Żabka has relaxed and enjoys human company, including being fond of petting on the cheeks. However, there have been challenges with cat companions. Either Żabka does not like other cats, and when a cat companion approaches, Żabka warns the other by hissing, or others do not like Żabka's way of playing. Żabka would still benefit from a feline friend, as long as the cat is understanding and playful like Żabka itself. Żabka is a big cat who likes to play more roughly, for example using its paws and stalking. A feline companion may already be found in the future home or, if there is not yet a friend for him in the new home, he can take with him another homeless cat from Maukula. Żabka will be given up vaccinated, chipped, neutered, dewormed and FIV- and FeLV-tested. The adult cat adoption fee is 250 euros. Would you have an offer for a loving home for Żabka?

Loppuelämän kotia etsii komea arviolta 2-vuotias Żabka-kolli. Żabka oli alkuun todella hyökkäävä eikä luottanut ihmisiin tippaakaan. Heti jos ihminen edes lähestyi, oli Żabka valmis hyökkäykseen ja turvaamaan selustaansa. Ajan myötä Żabka on rentoutunut ja viihtyy ihmistenkin seurassa ja muun muassa poskirapsutukset ovat tämän herran mieleen. Kuitenkin kissakaverien kanssa on ollut haasteita. Joko Żabka ei ole pitänyt toisista ja kissakaverin tullessa lähelle on Żabka varoittanut toista sähisemällä tai muut eivät ole pitäneet Żabkan tavasta leikkiä. Żabka varmasti hyötyisi silti kissakaverista, kunhan kissakaveri on ymmärtäväinen ja yhtä leikkisä kuten Żabka itse. Żabka on iso kissaherra, joka tykkää leikkiä rajummin, esimerkiksi käyttäen tassujaan ja vaania. Kissakaveri voi jo löytyä tulevasta kodista tai mikäli uudessa kodissa ei ole vielä hänelle kaveria, voi hän ottaa mukaansa Maukulasta jonkun toisen kotia etsivän kissan. Żabka luovutetaan rokotettuna, sirutettuna, leikattuna, madotettuna sekä FIV- ja FeLV-testattuna. Żabkaa ei luovuteta ainoaksi kissaksi eikä vapaasti ulkoilevaksi. Aikuisen kissan luovutusmaksu on 250 euroa. Olisiko sinulla tarjota rakastava koti Żabkalle? Laita meille sähköpostia ja kerro millaisen kodin voisit hänelle tarjota.
