How do I contact the shelter about Ilka (Ілька)?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dobri Ruky handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ilka (Ілька) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ilka (Ілька) if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dobri Ruky 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 Ilka (Ілька) 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 Ilka (Ілька) 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 Dobri Ruky early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ilka (Ілька) 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.

Ilka (Ілька)

Mixed Breed · Female

Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast! Looking for a family! Ilka – a beautiful kitten! And there seems to be some misunderstanding, why this lady, in the true sense of the word, is still at the animal shelter as a kitten. Her coat color is ordinary, but what? Green eyes, which are now becoming rare. She has a wonderful personality, and at this time, that means a lot. She is independent, intelligent, and affectionate. She won't be clingy, but she will be content to lie next to you. She is a very worthy kitten. Such kittens as these have never stayed with us, but here… Her conditional date of birth is January 2018. Coat color – striped tabby, green eyes. Vaccinated, sterilized, with a veterinary passport. House-trained, eats quality dry pet food.
