Żurek

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 10 months

Żurek, also known as Żulkiem, arrived at our shelter in April 2026. Żurek was a "lucky escape" cat until a communication accident occurred, after which the owners decided not to treat Żurka and instead asked for euthanasia. The vet saw a chance for treatment and contacted us; the owners relinquished Żurka, and the kitten came under our care. After six weeks of orthopedic surgery, Żurek spent six weeks in cages, but after six weeks of confinement, it turned out that everything had healed properly and Żurek could enjoy freedom with other kittens in the temporary home. Żurek is a sweet, cheerful, trusting, and very positively disposed cat towards everything. Other cats are loved with the whole heart. At the moment, Żurek is about 10 months old (born in the summer of 2025). Before that, Żurek will undergo physiotherapy, which aims to make his return to full functionality as easy as possible, and Żurek will be ready for a permanent home.

Żurek, nazywany też Żulkiem, trafił do nas w kwietniu 2026. Żurek był kotem „szczęśliwie wychodzącym” do momentu wypadku komunikacyjnego, po którym właściciele zdecydowali się nie leczyć Żurka, a poprosić zamiast tego o eutanazję. Lekarz widział możliwość leczenia złamań i skontaktował się z nami; właściciele zrzekli się Żurka, a kociak trafił pod naszą opiekę. Po operacji ortopedycznej Żurek przez sześć tygodni nie wychodził z klatki, a po sześciu tygodniach niewoli okazało się, że wszystko ładnie się zrosło i wygoiło i Żurek może cieszyć się wolnością z innymi kotkami w domu tymczasowym. Żurek jest słodkim, wesołym, ufnym i bardzo pozytywnie nastawionym do wszystkiego kotem. Inne koty kocha całym sercem. W tej chwili ma około 10 miesięcy (urodził się latem 2025 r.). Przed nim jeszcze fizjoterapia, która ma na celu jak najbardziej ułatwić mu do powrót do pełnej sprawności, i Żurek będzie gotowy na wyprowadzkę do domu Na Zawsze.

About Żurek

What life with Żurek looks like

Żurek is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Trzymaj Się Kocie in Poland.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇵🇱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 Żurek, answered.

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