Aystra (Айстра)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

It is another face of this terrible war. Astra came to us from the village Kizomys, located in Kherson region. From the city under constant shelling, which unfortunately left almost nothing behind. We had a small opportunity to go there together with the military. And among the ruins we found her. She is one of many animals wounded by the war, explosions, shelling... When we found her, she hardly moved. Very thin, with severely damaged eyes. In the veterinary clinic they examined her. She lost one eye, the other almost does not work. Astra has gone through a long rehabilitation path. And now she is a very gentle cat! Yes, with her own characteristics, with her difficult past - but despite this she can become a faithful companion who will warm the careful new owners. Considering the situation with her vision - Astra requires very careful treatment and a caring family.

Вона — ще одне обличчя цієї страшної війни. Айстра потрапила до нас із села Кізомис, що на Херсонщині. З міста під постійними обстрілами, від якого, на жаль, майже нічого не залишилося. Нам випала маленька можливість зайти туди разом із військовими. І серед руїн знайшли її. Вона з багатьох тих тварин, яких скалічила війна, вибухи, обстріли... Коли ми її знайшли, вона майже не рухалась. Дуже худа, з сильно пошкодженими очима. У клініці ветеринари оглянули її. Вона втратила одне око, інше майже не діє. Айстра пройшла довгий шлях реабілітації. І зараз це дуже ніжна киця! Так, зі своїми особливостями, зі своїм непростим минулим — але попри це може стати вірною подружкою, що зігріватиме обережних нових власників. Враховуючи ситуацію з зором — Айстра потребує дуже уважного ставлення та дбайливу сім'ю.

About Aystra (Айстра)

What life with Aystra (Айстра) looks like

Aystra (Айстра) is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Happy Paw Kyiv Oblast 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 Aystra (Айстра), answered.

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