Zuzia

Female · Young · 1 year

Zuzia is a very young kitten with a delicate, sensitive nature. A new situation is difficult for her, so she tends to withdraw and needs time to feel safe. At the same time, she does not react with aggression, rather she observes her surroundings and tries to find her way through what has happened. This is a kitten that needs the most peace, patience and warmth from a human. In the right home, with a understanding caretaker, Zuzia can gradually gain trust and a sense of security. Zuzia is looking for a place where she will get a chance for a better life - full of care, love and stability. We invite you to complete the pre-adoption questionnaire: Before adoption, make sure your home/apartment is safe and properly prepared for welcoming a new family member. Warning: If you decide to adopt a cat or are considering it, please bring a carrier or transport bag for cats to the animal shelter.

Zuzia to młodziutka koteczka o delikatnej, wrażliwej naturze. Nowa sytuacja jest dla niej trudna, dlatego bywa wycofana i potrzebuje czasu, aby poczuć się bezpiecznie. Jednocześnie nie reaguje agresją, raczej obserwuje otoczenie i stara się odnaleźć w tym, co ją spotkało. To kotka, która najbardziej potrzebuje spokoju, cierpliwości i ciepła ze strony człowieka. W odpowiednim domu, przy wyrozumiałym opiekunie, będzie mogła stopniowo nabierać zaufania i poczucia bezpieczeństwa. Zuzia szuka miejsca, w którym dostanie szansę na nowe, lepsze życie - pełne troski, miłości i stabilizacji. Zapraszamy do zapoznania się z ankietą przedadopcyjną: Przed adopcją upewnij się, że Twój dom/mieszkanie jest bezpieczne i odpowiednio przygotowane do przyjęcia nowego członka rodziny. Uwaga: Decydując się na adopcję kota lub rozważając ją, koniecznie weź ze sobą do schroniska transporter lub torbę transportową do przewozu kotów.

About Zuzia

What life with Zuzia looks like

Zuzia is a small young adult cat waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

A young 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.

Note from the shelter: Needs patient owner due to shy, sensitive nature and difficulty adjusting to new situations

🇵🇱Adopting from Poland

Polish shelters maintain established transport routes to Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden. Many animals leave sterilized and chipped, and adopters often cover transport. Confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zuzia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zuzia?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Schronisko Na Paluchu handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zuzia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zuzia if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Schronisko Na Paluchu whether they will for Zuzia, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Zuzia already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Schronisko Na Paluchu lists Zuzia as spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Schronisko Na Paluchu, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Zuzia isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Schronisko Na Paluchu about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zuzia 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.
