Adopt Lunya (Луня)

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Luna is my little eccentric with a big heart. I want to tell you about a cat whom I cannot call anything other than special. His name is Luna. He is dark, like a night sky, and in his eyes there is an entire universe of strength, kindness and hope. When he was very small, Luna faced something that even breaks adults - a deadly disease, struggle, IVs, days on the edge ... But he stood up. A small warrior in a black coat defeated death. Although the disease receded, it left its mark - not painful, but rather ... a special accent in his movements. When Luna runs or walks, he is slightly blown to the sides - as if a breeze pushes him from both sides. It looks funny, and that's his charm. But it's not his steps that make him unusual. It's his heart. Luna is cheerful, sincere, and joyful. He easily lights up the surroundings with light and gives love without asking for anything in return. His charisma is in every glance, every purr, every funny maneuver. I don't ask for pity for him - it's not needed. He lives fully and happily, he just needs a bit more understanding. I ask for a family where Luna will not be "a cat with a disability", but a beloved, a friend, a home sun that knows not only to survive, but to inspire. Poltava - if you have a place for love, tested by life - it is waiting for you in the form of Luna. Some stars shine brighter precisely because they were born in darkness. Sometimes they have paws.

Луня — мій маленький дивак із великим серцем Хочу розповісти вам про одного котика, якого я не можу назвати інакше, як особливий. Його звати Луня. Він чорненький, мов нічне небо, і в його очах — цілий всесвіт сили, доброти й надії. Ще зовсім малим Луня зіткнувся з тим, що ламає навіть дорослих — смертоносна хвороба, боротьба, крапельниці, дні на межі... Але він вистояв. Маленький воїн у чорній шубці переміг смерть. І хоча хвороба відступила, вона залишила по собі слід — не болісний, а радше… особливий акцент у його рухах. Коли Луня біжить чи йде, його трохи заносить в боки — ніби вітерець підштовхує його з обох сторін. Це виглядає кумедно, і в цьому — його шарм. Та не його кроки роблять його незвичайним. А його серце. Луня — життєрадісний, щирий, веселий. Він легко запалює навколо себе світло і дарує любов, не просячи нічого взамін. Його харизма — в кожному погляді, в кожному муркотінні, у кожному кумедному маневрі. Я не прошу для нього жалості — вона йому не потрібна. Він живе повноцінно і щасливо, просто йому потрібно трохи більше розуміння. Я прошу для нього родину, в якій Луня стане не «котиком із особливістю», а улюбленцем, другом, домашнім сонечком, яке вміє не лише виживати, а надихати. Полтава — якщо у вас є місце для любові, що перевірена життям — воно чекає на вас у вигляді Луні. Деякі зірки світять яскравіше саме тому, що народилися у темряві. Іноді вони мають лапки.

About Lunya (Луня)

What life with Lunya (Луня) looks like

Lunya (Луня) is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Happy Paw Poltava 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 Lunya (Луня), answered.

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