Adopt Maruska (Маруська)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Lviv, Opera Theater district. A cat was found, hiding in our basement for almost two weeks. Yesterday we managed to catch her. She is a pet, very affectionate, comes to hands, plays with toys, knows how to bring back the ball, uses the toilet, allows brushing. I suspect she got lost, because she behaves like a pet. Now we are waiting for your visit for a vet examination for sterilization. I have a bit of time to keep her in foster care, but I also have my three cats. Repost is welcome.

Львів, Район Оперного Театру. Знайдено кішку, ховалася у нас в підвалі майже два тижні. Вчора вдалося впіймати. Домашня, дуже ласкава, йде на руки, бавиться іграшками, вміє назад приносити мʼячик, користується туалетом, дозволяє вичесувати. Підозрюю, що загубилася, бо поводиться як домашня. Зараз очікуємо наш візит для лікаря для проходження обстеження на стерилізації. Маю можливість трошки часу тримати на перетримці, але також маю своїх три котика. Репост вітається.

About Maruska (Маруська)

What life with Maruska (Маруська) looks like

Maruska (Маруська) is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Happy Paw Lviv 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 Maruska (Маруська), answered.

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