How do I contact the shelter about Borya (Боря)?

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 Borya (Боря) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Borya (Боря) 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 Borya (Боря) 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 Borya (Боря) 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 Borya (Боря) 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.

Borya (Боря)

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Black Borя, young, quiet teenager boy. Life is just beginning, he is 8 months old. Yet he has already seen what some have not seen in their whole life. He was taken away by the military during the evacuation from the war. They noticed him accidentally - he was already frozen. A small black ball of cold, who was just waiting until he could no longer endure... From the cold in the box, he was sent by train to Kyiv. He was saved. But the cage is not a home. For him it is captivity, playing, despair and the end of all his cat dreams. He is neutered, vaccinated, clean, and perfectly knows the litter box. Very smart. Quiet. Similar to a domestic mini-puma. He constantly catches stress behind the bars of the cage. All day he sits in the cage and listens to every step. As if waiting: "Maybe it's for me..." He doesn't need much. Just warm hands. Just his person. Just a home. Please take a look at him. Maybe you are his only chance to never feel cold or afraid again.

Боря чорний, молоденький, тихий хлопчик-підліток. Життя лише починається, йому 8 місяців. Та він вже бачив те, що не деякі не бачили за все своє життя. Його вивезли військові з війни під час евакуації. Помітили випадково — він вже замерзав. Маленький чорний клубочок холоду, який вже просто чекав, поки не стане сил терпіти… З морозу в коробці, передали потягом до Києва. Врятували. Але клітка — це не дім. Для нього це неволя, грати, відчай і завершення всіх його кото-мрій. Він кастрований, вакцинований, охайний, ідеально знає лоточок. Дуже розумненький. Тихий. Схожий на домашню міні-пуму. Цілодобово він ловить стрес за гаратами клітки. Цілий день він сидить у клітці й прислухається до кожного кроку. Наче чекає: «Може, це за мною?...» Йому не потрібне багато. Тільки теплі руки. Тільки своя людина. Тільки дім. Будь ласка, придивіться до нього. Можливо, саме ви — його єдиний шанс більше ніколи не мерзнути і не боятися.

About Borya (Боря)

What life with Borya (Боря) looks like

Borya (Боря) is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Happy Paw Kyiv in Ukraine.

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.
