Adopt Gendalf (Гендальф)

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

18 June he came to us in the garden with a broken paw for help. This is not the easiest one in terms of health, but his tail deserves a calm and caring life. He is a kind cat with a will to live, a great appetite and a working purr. Gandalf is an adult cat of indeterminate age, but not old. In the last month he had to go through amputation of the right hind leg and two weeks of hospitalization in the clinic. After the operation, he healed well. In his medical history FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). Previously lived on the street, but in foster care he shows himself as a good household cat. The character is good and grateful, not picky, loves to be next to a person. Very likes to be scratched, eats willingly. Potty trained. Does not jump high, but improvised steps from furniture help him to be next to a person, for example, on the couch. So far, the following procedures were done: amputated the right hind leg, neutered, vaccinated against rabies + combined vaccination (Feligen, Rabigen), treated the ears and eliminated all parasites. With Gandalf go: all discharge documents from the hospital, contacts of doctors in Dnipro, as well as all basic accessories and furniture (carrier, vertical and horizontal scratching post, bowls, toys, grooming tools). Conditions for mutual comfortable existence: you are dreaming of a cat, do not have cats / or already have cats with FIV ready to take an older cat ready financially for the cat (if you decide to give immunomodulating drugs, you cannot withdraw them anymore and this is lifelong support). Location: Dnipro and region.

18 червня він прийшов до нас в сад зі зламаю лапкою по допомогу. Це не самий простий за здоровʼям друг, але хвостик заслуговує на спокійне і турботливе життя. Він ласкавий кіт з жагою до життя, з чудовим апетитом і працюючою урчалкою. Гендальф — дорослий котик невизначеного віку, але не старий. За останній місяць йому прийшлось пережити ампутацію задньої правої лапки і 2 тижні стаціонару у клініці. Після операції чудово загоївся. В анамнезі ВІК (FIV, вірус імунодефіциту). Раніше жив на вулиці, але на перетримці чудово показує себе як домашній котик. Характер добрий і вдячний, невибагливий, любить бути поруч з людиною. Дуже любить чухатись, охоче їсть. Привчений до туалету. Високо не стрибає, але імпровізовані сходинки з меблів допомагають бути йому поруч з людиною, наприклад, на дивані. Наразі йому зробили наступні процедури: ампутували задню праву лапку стерилізували вакцинували від сказу + комплексна вакцинація (Феліген, Рабіген) пролікували вушка і потравили всіх поганців Разом з Гендальфом ідуть: всі виписки з лікарні, контакти лікарів в Дніпрі, а також всі базові аксесуари і меблі (переноска, кігтеточка вертикальна і горизонтальна, мисочки, іграшки, інструменти для грумінгу) Умови для взаємного комфортного існування наступні: мрієте про котика не маєте котів / або вже є коти з ВІК готові взяти немолодого кота готові фінансово до кота (якщо вами буде прийняте рішення давати імуномодулюючі препарати, то відміняти їх вже не можна буде і це пожиттєва підтримка) Локація: Дніпро та область. Київ теж розгляну 👌🏼

Frequently asked

Adopting Gendalf (Гендальф), answered.

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