Adopt Ista (Иста)

Mixed Breed · Unknown

All questions are discussed over a phone call, not in correspondence. We strongly request that you call between 10 and 20 hours. It is unbearable to watch our Ista, who used to be a home cat, end up in the lobby, and then with us. As a result, when someone comes to take someone away, she actively tries to make a good impression. But no one looks at the not-so-young tabby cat with an unremarkable coat, and she stays with us, not getting younger. And who would look into a cat's soul? She is kind, non-confrontational, with a good psyche; she wouldn't have made it in a shelter if she had a bad temperament. She could have continued to delight someone for many more years, because for a cat, her age is far from old age. Ista is an adult cat. Birth date: December 29, 2010. Tabby color, large for a cat. Spayed, vaccinated, with a veterinary passport. House-trained, eats quality dry pet food. We are looking for the very best owners! We provide informational support, consultations with an animal behaviorist, and a veterinarian.

Все вопросы обсуждаются в телефонном разговоре, а не в переписке. Большая просьба звонить с 10 до 20 часов. Это невыносимо больно, наблюдать за нашей Истой, когда то она была домашней, потом по какой то причине она оказалась в подъезде. А как следствие, у нас. Когда приезжают кого то забирать, она активно старается понравится. Но никто не смотрит на немолодую кошечку, невыразительного окраса и она остается, и не молодеет у нас. А кто заглянет в кошачью душу? Она добрая, не конфликтная, с хорошей психикой, с плохой не выжила бы в приюте. Могла бы кого то радовать еще много лет, ведь для котов ее возраст совсем не старость. Иста -зрелая кошечка. Условная дата рождения 29 декабря 2010 года. Окрас табби, для кошки крупная. Стерилизована, вакцинирована, с ветеринарным паспортом. К лотку приучена, ест качественный сухой корм. Ищем самых лучших хозяев! Предоставляем информационную поддержку, консультацию зоопсихолога и ветеринарного врача.

About Ista (Иста)

What life with Ista (Иста) looks like

Ista (Иста) is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dobri Ruky 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 Ista (Иста), answered.

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