How do I contact the shelter about Ben (Бен)?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Happy Paw Kyiv handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ben (Бен) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ben (Бен) if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Happy Paw Kyiv 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 Ben (Бен) 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 Ben (Бен) 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 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ben (Бен) and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Ben (Бен)

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Urgently looking for a home, because he gets very stressed in foster care! Ben is looking for a calm person who is willing to show patience during adaptation, a person who does not like loud music, parties and movement. He would gladly spend quiet, calm evenings with a fluffy cat. For example: watching movies together and scratching behind the ears of the fluffy one. Ben was neutered from the basement, they planned to release him back, but he started bleeding and was urgently taken to the hospital and treatment began. Bladder inflammation and a stone that damaged the channels and caused bleeding. He was lucky, if he had been on the street he would have bled to death and not survived. A big cat but very shy. He is afraid of everything and gets very stressed by everything. He doesn't attack, doesn't run away, he just hides in the corner, lowers his ears and gets stressed. We think he was badly treated, very badly. On temporary foster care when they let him out of the cage for a short time to play, he didn't even come out. He is hand-reared, immediately went to the litter box. Kind, when he gets used to and starts trusting a person. After some time he started to trust and turned into a kind mouser. Will definitely bloom in a loving family. Age: about 2 years old. Health: bladder inflammation was treated. FIV (feline immunodeficiency), must be the only cat or cats with the same diagnosis. Neutered, treated, has vaccination.

Терміново шукає дім, бо дуже стресує на перетримці! Бен шукає спокійну людину, яка готова проявити терпіння під час адаптації, людину, яка не любить гучної музики, вечірок і двіжа. А залюбки проведе тихі спокійні вечори в компанії муркотика. Наприклад: дивитись разом фільми і чухати за вушком пухнастика. Бена взяли на кастрацію з підвалу, планували відпустити назад, але в нього почалась кровотеча і його терміново відвезли в лікарню і почали лікування. Запалення сечового міхура і камінь, який пошкодив канали і через це була кровотеча. Йому пощастило, якби він був на вулиці він стік би кров'ю і не вижив. Великий кіт але дуже боязкий. Боїться всього і дуже стресує від всього. Не нападає, не втікає, а просто забивпється в куток, опускає вушка і стресує. Ми думаємо, що його ображали, сильно ображали. На тимчасовій перетримці коли випускали з клітки ненадовго, щоб погуляв, то він і не виходив з неї. Він ручний, зразу пішов на лоток. Ласкавий, коли звикає і починає довіряти людині. Через деякий час уже почав довіряти і перетворився на ласкавого муркотунчика. Обов'язково розквітне в люблячій сім'ї. Вік: близько 2х років. Здоров'я: вилікували запалення сечового міхура. ВІК(імунодифіцит котів), має бути єдиним котиком або ж котиками з таким же діагнозом. Кастрований, оброблений, має щеплення.
