How do I contact the shelter about Berta (Берта)?

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 Berta (Берта) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Berta (Берта) 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 Berta (Берта) 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 Berta (Берта) 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 Berta (Берта) 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.

Berta (Берта)

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

🖤 Berta. She lost everything because of the war... Will she now lose the rest of her life? Berta is a black and white cat of a respectable age (8-10 years), who was brought from the war. There she lost everything she had: her home, her usual life, her peace. Now she is safe, but she lives in a cage, and this is a real suffering for her. Berta is spayed, vaccinated, and regularly uses the litter box. She is incredibly gentle, kind, and very tactile - she needs human hands, warmth, and just the opportunity to be close to someone. A third of her life is still ahead. And it's so painful to think that she can spend this third behind bars... Berta has already lost so much. Will she now just have to live out her days in a cage? She doesn't need much. She needs a home where she will be accepted for who she is, where she can sleep warm, feel affection, and know that she no longer needs to run away. Please give the cat-girl a chance at a decent and happy life. ❤️

🖤 Берта. Вона втратила все через війну… Невже тепер втратить і решту життя? Берта — чорно-біла кішечка поважного віку (років 8-10), яку привезли з війни. Там вона втратила все, що мала: свій дім, звичне життя, спокій. Тепер вона в безпеці, але живе в клітці, і це для неї справжнє страждання. Берта стерилізована, вакцинована, справно ходить на лоточок. Вона неймовірно ніжна, добра й дуже тактильна — їй так потрібні людські руки, тепло і просто можливість бути поруч із кимось. Третина життя у неї ще попереду. І так боляче думати, що цю третину вона може провести за ґратами… Берта вже стільки втратила. Невже тепер вона має просто доживати свої дні в клітці? Їй не потрібне багато. Їй потрібен дім, де її приймуть такою, яка вона є, де вона зможе спати в теплі, відчувати ласку й знати, що більше нікуди не потрібно тікати. Будь ласка, подаруйте кото-дівчинці шанс на гідне й щасливе життя. ❤️
