Kuzya (Кузя)

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

He was simply thrown away in the cold. In the cold snow. Small, helpless... Kuzia was sitting in the snowdrift and crying, running after people, looking into their eyes and begging: "Please, don't walk by..." And they heard him. They took him from the cold, saved his life. But now Kuzia is in the animal shelter. He is only 7 months old, but he already knows what betrayal and loneliness are. He sits behind the bars, stretching his paws, waving them, catching every look and waiting very eagerly for his person. He seems to ask: "Is it you? Have you come for me?" Kuzia is neutered, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms. He is ready for home. Ready to love. But with each day in the cage, he is getting more and more sad, quietly fading away without warmth, without hands, without his place in someone's heart. Please, don't let Kuzia grow up in the cage. He survived the cold - help him start a life at home. He really, really needs a person.

Його просто викинули в мороз. У холодний сніг. Маленького, беззахисного… Кузя сидів у заметі й плакав, біг за людьми, дивився в очі й благав: «Будь ласка, не проходьте повз…» І його почули. Забрали з холоду, врятували життя. Але тепер Кузя — в клітці притулку. Йому лише 7 місяців, а він уже знає, що таке зрада і самотність. Він сидить за ґратами, тягне лапки, махає ними, ловить кожен погляд і дуже чекає на свою людину. Він ніби питає: «Це ти? Ти прийшов за мною?» Кузя кастрований, вакцинований, оброблений від бліх та глистів. Він готовий до дому. Готовий любити. Але з кожним днем у клітці він все більше сумує, тихо згасає без тепла, без рук, без свого місця в чиємусь серці. Будь ласка, не дайте Кузі дорослішати в клітці. Він вижив у мороз — допоможіть йому почати життя вдома. Йому дуже, дуже потрібна людина.

About Kuzya (Кузя)

What life with Kuzya (Кузя) looks like

Kuzya (Кузя) is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Happy Paw Kyiv in Ukraine.

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 Kuzya (Кузя), answered.

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