Lapa (Лапа)

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten

Help us find a family for the wonderful, gentle little cat named Lapka. Her story is truly remarkable. After being bitten by a dog, no one thought she’d survive—but she fought with all her might to stay alive. We found her with a broken hind leg and took her to the clinic, where she underwent surgery. Then came injections, pills, and a long recovery period. Each day, her leg grew stronger, yet she never stopped trusting people. Despite all the procedures she had to endure to ensure a full recovery, Lapka never once hissed or showed any aggression toward humans. She loves nothing more than climbing onto laps and softly purring. Lapka is spayed and ready to move into a loving home where she’ll be cherished just as she deserves ❤️

About Lapa (Лапа)

What life with Lapa (Лапа) looks like

Lapa (Лапа) is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Happy Paw Kyiv Oblast in Ukraine.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇺🇦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 Lapa (Лапа), answered.

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