Luka (Лука)

Mixed Breed · Male

Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast! Looking for a family! This is Luca, the pretty one, right? This sweet kitty showed up near a trading booth and wouldn’t go anywhere, and there wasn’t even a place to hide from the rain, cold, or dogs, so we decided to take him in. He didn’t make contact for a long time, only responding to the staff member who cares for the cats. He lived in a room with another staff member, who was also fine. This cat is for a family that will love him like a dog. Indeed, now he’s taking notice of other people. Cats don’t forgive betrayal easily. Luca had an otogematomy, someone operated on him, a poorly done operation, but after that, he was released onto the streets. Sadly, Luca can’t tell us his story. Now, he’s a sweet lap cat with whom you can build beautiful relationships. Birth date: December 24, 2018. Coat color: tabby, long-haired. Vaccinated, neutered, with a veterinary passport. House-trained, eats quality pet food.

Київ і Київська область! Шукаємо родину! Це Лука, красень, правда ж? Цей милий котик з’явився біля торгівельної палатки та нікуди звідти не йшов, а там навіть не було де сховатись від дощу, холоду, собак і тоді ми вирішили його забрати. Довго не йшов на контакт, сприймав тільки співробітницю, яка доглядає за котами. Жив у кімнаті іншого співробітника, теж було все добре. Кіт для однієї родини, якій буде відданий, як собака. Правда, зараз він приймає увагу і інших людей. Коти довго не пробачають зраду. У кота була отогематома, хтось його оперував, якісно зроблена операція, але після цього випустив на вулицю. На жаль, лука не може розказати нам свою історію. А зараз, він солоденький плюхан, з яким можна скласти прекрасні відносини. Умовна дата народження 24 грудня 2018 року. Забарвлення – таббі, довгошерстий. Вакцинований, кастрований, з ветеринарним паспортом. До лотка привчений, їсть якісний корм. Надаємо інформаційну підтримку, консультацію зоопсихолога та ветеринарного лікаря.

About Luka (Лука)

What life with Luka (Лука) looks like

Luka (Лука) 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 Luka (Лука), answered.

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