Deda (Деда)

Mixed Breed · Male

Our beloved Dedushka could become a symbol and mascot of "Old Cat". But we so want him to protect someone else... His family! In the house that he finally finds, at least in his old age. Dedushka is a universal favorite and a little heartbreak... They brought him to us dying: Dedushka was then struck by the variety of his ailments, accumulated over a long homeless life, even the most experienced employees! And yet... How Dedushka rejoices in every new day. Warmth, tasty preserves (we think he will never eat enough), the attention of people... Good fellow, a puddle, a plush toy. All he needs: a little quiet, peace and love. Like all of us, right? In recent times, he sits by the door every day, as if waiting to be taken home... It's almost unbelievable, but will his dream come true? Call:

Наш любимый Деда мог бы стать символом и талисманом “Старого кота”. Но нам так хочется, чтобы он оберегал кого-то другого… Свою семью! В доме, который он наконец обретет хотя бы на склоне лет.Деда всеобщий любимчик и горюшко... Привезли его к нам умирающим: Деда тогда поразил разнообразием своих болячек, накопленных за долгую бездомную жизнь, даже самых опытных сотрудников!И вместе с тем... Как же Деда радуется каждому новому дню. Теплу, вкусной пресерве (нам кажется, он не наестся досыта никогда), вниманию людей... Добряк, тюфячок, плюшечка. Всё, что ему нужно: немного тишины, покоя и любви. Как и всем нам, правда?В последнее время он каждый день сидит под дверью, будто ждёт, что его заберут домой… Почти невероятно, но вдруг его мечта сбудется?Звоните:

About Deda (Деда)

What life with Deda (Деда) looks like

Deda (Деда) is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Старый Кот (Old Cat) in Minsk.

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 Belarus

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 Deda (Деда), answered.

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