Elina (Еліна)

Female · Young · 3 years

We dream of finding a home for this tiny beauty named Elina. She’s a quiet, gentle girl—ones who are never noticed. And to make matters worse, she has a rather unpopular color, to say the least. Elina never demands attention and never forces herself on anyone. Yet how eagerly she waits for someone to notice her! With gratitude, she even responds to a simple glance. Her heart seems to stop as she sits quietly in your arms, softly purring and kneading gently. A cat like this is a true dream come true. But as always, there’s a catch. Elina has leukemia—and that dashes any hope of placing this tender and sweet girl into a loving home. Still, there’s one glimmer of hope left: the hope that she’ll be found by someone who won’t be frightened by her diagnosis. Elina is young—she’s 2 or 3 years old. She’s vaccinated and spayed. She gets along wonderfully with other cats. She desperately needs a home. She simply shouldn’t have to spend her life in a shelter. Ukraine, Europe—we’re open to considering all options.

Мріємо знайти дім для цієї мініатюрної красуні на імʼя Еліна. Тиха, лагідна дівчинка, таких ніколи не помічають. Та і ще такого непопулярного коліру, мʼяко кажучи. Елина ніколи не вимагає уваги та не навʼязується. Але як вона чекає, коли на неї звернуть увагу. З вдячністю відповідає навіть на погляд. З завмиранням серця сидить на руках та тихесенько муркоче та топочеться. Така кішка це мрія. Але як завжди є одне але. В Еліни лейкоз. І це перекреслює всі шанси на прилаштування цієї зворушливої та ніжної дівчинки. Але надія залишається. Надія на те, що її побачить людина, яка не злякається діагнозу Еліну. Еліна молода, їй 2-3 роки. Вакцинована, стерилізована. Чудово ладна я з іншими котами. Їй дуже потрібно додому. Вона не повинна жити в притулку. Україна, Європа, розглянемо всі варіанти

About Elina (Еліна)

What life with Elina (Еліна) looks like

Elina (Еліна) is a small young adult cat waiting at Sirius Shelter in Kyiv.

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 Elina (Еліна), answered.

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