Adopt Ada (Ада)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

ADA is looking for a home. She and Zara were not related by blood, yet life put them in the same box — literally. On that rainy June day, among soggy cardboard and heavy drops hitting the walls of the box, kittens of various ages lay next to each other. The older ones embraced the younger ones, someone was purring through fear, someone was already barely breathing. Ada was the smallest. A little ball of warmth, which was still hard to call a cat — more like a petal that had just fallen from a tree into the very heart of a storm. They saved her. They warmed her up, fed her, gave her a name — and now she's growing, like quiet joy. Ada is a young lady with a big future. She combines curiosity, like that of a world explorer, and trust, like that of someone who doesn't yet know what betrayal is. She is gentle, cheerful, quick, like a summer ray that runs across the floor and hides in the shadow. She can still be taught everything — but the most important thing she has already learned on her own is to love. Love quietly, but sincerely. Reach out with a paw when you are noticed. Fall asleep in a warm hand and believe that tomorrow will be good again. Ada is looking for someone who wants to grow together with her. Someone who won't be scared of her young age, but will see happiness in it. Because those like her become not just family pets. They become part of the heart. 📍 Poltava 📞 Adoption conditions: • Living only in a building (no outdoor roaming) • Genuine love, responsibility and patience until the first purr — mandatory "Those we meet in the rain often become those without whom we cannot imagine the sun."

Ада шукає дім. Її з Зарою не єднала кров, та життя посадило їх в одну коробку — буквально. Того дощового червневого дня, серед розмоклого картону і важких крапель, що били по стінках коробки, поруч лежали кошенята різного віку. Старші обіймали молодших, хтось муркотів крізь страх, хтось уже майже не дихав. Ада була найменшою. Маленькою грудочкою тепла, яку ще важко було назвати кішкою — радше пелюсткою, що тільки-но впала з дерева в саме серце бурі. Її врятували. Обігріли, нагодували, дали ім’я — і тепер вона росте, мов тиха радість. Ада — це юна леді з великим майбутнім. У ній поєднуються допитливість, як у дослідника світу, і довіра, як у того, хто ще не знає, що таке зрада. Вона ніжна, весела, швиденька, мов літній промінь, що пробігає по підлозі і ховається за тінню. Її ще можна навчити всьому — але головне, чого вона вже навчилася сама, — це любити. Любити тихо, але щиро. Тягнутися лапкою, коли тебе помічають. Засинати в теплій долоні й вірити, що завтра знову буде добре. Ада шукає того, хто захоче рости разом із нею. Хто не злякається юного віку, а побачить у ньому щастя початку. Бо такі, як вона, — стають не просто домашніми улюбленцями. Вони стають частиною серця. 📍 Полтава 📞 Умови всиновлення: • Проживання тільки в приміщенні (без самовигулу) • Щира любов, відповідальність і терпіння до першого муркання — обов’язкові «Ті, кого ми зустрічаємо в дощ, часто стають тими, без кого не уявляємо сонця.»

About Ada (Ада)

What life with Ada (Ада) looks like

Ada (Ада) is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Happy Paw Poltava in Ukraine.

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.

🇺🇦Adopting from Ukraine

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ada (Ада), answered.

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