How do I contact the shelter about Zuza?

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 Zuza on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Zuza 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 Zuza 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 Zuza 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 Zuza 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.

Zuza

Mixed Breed · Female

Zuza does not live in a cattery with other cats, but in a kennel in the veterinary office of the shelter. Why? Because without a person nearby, she gets depressed and stops eating. 😔 This 15-year-old beauty spent most of her life in a house, by the side of her beloved caretaker, who unfortunately became seriously ill, so Zuza had to go to the animal shelter. It's no wonder that it's hard for her to cope with such a huge loss. Zuza is just as beautiful as she is characterful. You certainly need to respect her independence and give her space to convince herself of us at her own pace, to trust us again and love someone as strongly as her previous beloved cat mother. Due to her health issues, she must take medication on a permanent basis and needs regular visits to the veterinarian. But in exchange for your care, presence and calmness, she will give you her loyalty. (Remember, besides a permanent home, you can also become her temporary home - then the animal shelter will provide food and treatment, and for Zuzy it would be a complete improvement in comfort and quality of her autumn life.)

PL·Show original

Zuza nie mieszka w kociarni z innymi kotami, tylko w kennelu w schroniskowym gabinecie weterynaryjnym. Dlaczego? Bo bez człowieka obok dostaje depresji i przestaje jeść. 😔 Ta kilkunastolenia piękność większość życia spędziła w domku, u boku swojej ukochanej opiekunki, która niestety zachorowała na tyle poważnie, że Zuza musiała trafić do schroniska. Nic dziwnego, że ciężko jej pogodzić się z tak ogromną stratą. Zuza jest równie piękna, co charakterna. Trzeba z pewnością uszanować jej niezależność i dać jej przestrzeń na to, żeby mogła w swoim tempie się do nas przekonać, zaufać i znowu pokochać kogoś tak mocno, jak swoją poprzednią ukochaną kocią mamę. Ze względu na swoje problemy zdrowotne, musi przyjmować leki na stałe i potrzebuje regularnych wizyt u weterynarza. Ale w zamian za Waszą troskę, obecność i spokój, odda Wam swoją wierność. (Pamiętajcie, że oprócz domu stałego, możecie stać się dla niej też domem tymczasowym – wtedy karmę i leczenie zapewnia schronisko, a dla Zuzy byłaby to diametralna poprawa komfortu i jakości jesieni jej życia.) ❤️

About Zuza

What life with Zuza looks like

Zuza is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Schronisko dla Zwierząt w Poznaniu in Poznan.

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.
