Adopt Zuzia

Female · Kitten · 7 months

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 puppy/kitten cat waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

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.

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. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zuzia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zuzia?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this 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?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Na Paluchu 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 Zuzia 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 Zuzia 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 Na Paluchu 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
