How do I contact the shelter about ZETKA?

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

Can I adopt ZETKA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Świdnica 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 ZETKA 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 ZETKA 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 Świdnica early rather than rehoming privately; they know ZETKA 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.

ZETKA

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Zetka is a lovely young cat looking for a peaceful and loving home. She is a bit shy and needs time to fully trust humans. She is not one of those cats that is always first in line - initially she may be cautious and withdrawn, but with a calm and patient approach, she has the chance to open up beautifully. Zetka loves cat climbs, she enjoys higher places from which she can observe her surroundings, but she also loves lazy and relaxing moments. It would be great if she were to find a home with a friendly and calm cat. The presence of a more open feline companion could give her confidence and show her that there is nothing to be afraid of. Zetka is a very clean cat and uses the litter box beautifully. We are looking for a quiet, patient home for her, which will allow her to acclimate at her own pace and give her time to build trust. We believe that when she feels safe, she will show more of her charming personality. Adopting a pet is a big responsibility. Take a few minutes to read our FAQ to make sure you want to adopt an animal. Meet Czarnuszka! Czarnuszka came to us from Lubin with five of her siblings, unfortunately no one came for her. Probably... Meet Helen! Helen is a shy cat who is slowly learning that contact with humans can be pleasant, she needs time to get to know people.

Zetka to urocza, młoda kotka, która szuka spokojnego i kochającego domu. Jest troszkę nieśmiała i potrzebuje czasu, aby w pełni zaufać człowiekowi. Nie należy do kotek, które od razu są wszędzie pierwsze – początkowo może być ostrożna i wycofana, ale przy spokojnym i cierpliwym podejściu ma szansę pięknie się otworzyć. Zetka lubi kocie wspinaczki, chętnie korzysta z wyższych miejsc, z których może obserwować swoje otoczenie, ale równie mocno ceni sobie chwile błogiego leniuchowania i odpoczynku. Bardzo fajnie byłoby, gdyby trafiła do domu, w którym mieszka już przyjazny i spokojny kot. Obecność bardziej otwartego kociego towarzysza mogłaby dodać jej pewności siebie i pokazać, że nie ma się czego bać. Zetka jest czyściutką kotką i pięknie korzysta z kuwety. Szukamy dla niej spokojnego, cierpliwego domu, który pozwoli jej zaaklimatyzować się we własnym tempie i da jej czas na zbudowanie zaufania. Wierzymy, że kiedy poczuje się bezpiecznie, pokaże znacznie więcej ze swojego uroczego charakteru. Adopcja pupila to wielka odpowiedzialność.

Czarnuszka przyjechała do nas z Lubina razem z piątką swojego rodzeństwa, niestety nikt się po nią nie zgłosił. Prawdopodbnie... Poznajcie Helen!

About ZETKA

What life with ZETKA looks like

ZETKA is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko Świdnica 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.
