Bosya (Бося)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Bozia. One year of life — and an entire year of war in her eyes. She doesn't know what home is. She knows explosions, fear and constant anticipation of misfortune. When it was scary around her — she survived. But the price of this survival is now in her gaze. Bozia is very nice, round-faced, striped, young kitten. But behind this beauty — silence and pain. She silently sits and waits. Not complaining. Just waiting for someone to see her. Her cage is like a continuation of the war. She doesn't understand why after everything she's been through again bars. She just wants to lie next to a person and never be afraid again. Bozia 1 year old, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, knows litter box. But most importantly — she really needs a home. Not tomorrow. Not someday. Now. Please don't pass by. For you it may be just one cat.

Бося. Один рік життя — і цілий рік війни в очах. Вона не знає, що таке дім. Вона знає вибухи, страх і постійне очікування біди. Коли навколо було страшно — вона вижила. Але ціна цього виживання тепер у її погляді. Бося дуже гарна, кругломорденька, полосатенька, молода котєєчка. Та за цією красою — тиша і біль. Вона мовчки сидить і чекає. Не скаржиться. Просто чекає, щоб хтось її побачив. Клітка для неї — як продовження війни. Вона не розуміє, чому після всього пережитого знову ґрати. Вона просто хоче лежати поруч з людиною і більше не боятися. Босі 1 рік, вона вакцинована, оброблена від блох і глистів, знає лоточок. Але найголовніше — вона дуже потребує дому. Не завтра. Не колись. Зараз. Будь ласка, не проходьте повз. Для вас це може бути одна кішечка. А для неї — єдиний шанс на життя без страху, вдома

About Bosya (Бося)

What life with Bosya (Бося) looks like

Bosya (Бося) is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Happy Paw Kyiv 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 Bosya (Бося), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bosya (Бося)?
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 Bosya (Бося) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bosya (Бося) 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 Bosya (Бося) 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 Bosya (Бося) 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 Bosya (Бося) 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.
