Żarłacz FeLV+

Male · Adult · 6 years

Don’t be fooled by its intimidating-sounding name. Żarłacz is, in reality, the epitome of feline gentleness and calmness. He’s a large, dignified tomcat who dreams of basking in the warmth of someone’s couch—rather than spending his days in a shelter cat room. So why is Żarłacz such a special cat? A heart on his paw: Although he can be a bit shy at first contact and needs to make sure you have good intentions, he quickly reveals his true, friendly nature. A connoisseur of petting: If you’re looking to earn his trust, we’ve got a tip for you—Żarłacz absolutely loves being stroked under his chin. A perpetual hunger... for love (and not just that!): Żarłacz has a real sweet tooth and adores treats—and as he himself admits, “you can’t hide it!” Good food is the foundation of his happiness and the best motivation for making new friends. A heavyweight champion hunter: Despite his size, Żarłacz still carries a childlike spirit within him. He’ll never say no to playing with a fishing rod. This cat is FeLV-positive. What does FeLV+ mean? It’s the feline leukemia virus, which can ONLY infect CATS—not you or your dog. The virus spreads between cats through saliva contact (shared bowls, grooming), shared litter boxes, and from mother to kittens. Cats with FeLV can live alongside other FeLV-positive cats as well as other animals—such as rabbits. Treatment for FeLV focuses on managing its symptoms (which cats often don’t show for a long time), and with proper care (diet, regular veterinary check-ups, and a safe, stress-free environment), a cat can live a long and comfortable life. 🙂

Nie dajcie się zmylić groźnie brzmiącemu imieniu. Żarłacz to w rzeczywistości kocia definicja łagodności i spokoju. To duży, dostojny kocur, który marzy o tym, by swoje imponujące futerko móc wygrzewać na czyjejś kanapie, a nie w schroniskowej kociarni. Dlaczego Żarłacz to kot wyjątkowy? Serce na łapce: Choć przy pierwszym kontakcie bywa nieco nieśmiały i musi sprawdzić, czy masz dobre zamiary, szybko pokazuje swoją prawdziwą, przyjacielską naturę. Koneser miziania: Jeśli chcesz zdobyć jego zaufanie, mamy dla Ciebie wskazówkę, Żarłacz absolutnie uwielbia głaskanie pod bródką. Wieczny głód… miłości (i nie tylko! ): Żarłacz kocha jedzonko i przysmaki, czego – jak sam przyznaje – „nie da się ukryć”. Dobra karma to dla niego podstawa szczęścia i najlepsza motywacja do zawierania nowych znajomości. Łowca wagi ciężkiej: Mimo swoich rozmiarów, Żarłacz wciąż ma w sobie duszę dziecka. Nie odmówi zabawy wędką. Ten kot jest nosicielem FeLV. Czym jest FeLV+? Jest to wirus białaczki kotów, którym zarazić się mogą TYLKO KOTY – a więc ani Ty, ani Twój pies. Przenosi się między kotami przez kontakt ze śliną (wspólne miski, pielęgnacja), wspólne kuwety i z matki na kocięta. Koty z FeLV mogą mieszkać z innymi kotami zakażonymi FeLV oraz z innymi zwierzętami – np. z królikiem. Leczenie FeLV to leczenie jego objawów (których koty często długo nie wykazują), a przy odpowiedniej opiece (dieta, regularne kontrole weterynaryjne i bezpieczne, spokojne środowisko) kot może żyć długo i komfortowo. 🙂

Frequently asked

Adopting Żarłacz FeLV+, answered.

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