How do I contact the shelter about Matviy (Матвій)?

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 Matviy (Матвій) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Matviy (Матвій) 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 Matviy (Матвій) 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 Matviy (Матвій) 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 Matviy (Матвій) 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.

Matviy (Матвій)

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Matvii is a special military kitten, he is 5 years old. The military saved him from the Chernihiv direction. What he went through is hard to imagine... The consequence was a chronic illness - diabetes. Every day he needs insulin twice a day. But Matvii is polite and calmly allows injections. The boy is neutered, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms. He has tests, documents, knows litter box on 5+. Despite everything he has been through, he is very gentle and trusting. But will he have a future?.. Will there be someone who will give a place in their home for this special little kitten? Matvii deserves to live his life not in a cage, but in warmth, love and with care. He doesn't need much - just a little space, stability and a sincere person by his side.

Матвій — особливий воєнний котик, йому 5 рочків. Військові врятували його з Чернігівського напрямку. Те, що він пережив, важко уявити… Наслідком стало хронічне захворювання — діабет. Кожен день йому потрібен інсулін двічі на день. Але Матвій чемний і спокійно дозволяє робити уколи. Хлопчик кастрований, вакцинований, оброблений від бліх і глистів. Має тести, документи, знає лоточок на 5+. Попри все пережите, він дуже ніжний і довірливий. Але чи буде в нього майбутнє?.. Чи знайдеться той, хто подарує місце у своєму домі для цього особливого котусика? Матвій заслуговує прожити своє життя не в клітці, а в теплі, любові та з турботою. Йому не треба багато — лише трошки простору, стабільність і щира людина поруч. Якщо Ви готові переписати його історію — телефонуйте. Добро повертається, а Матвій подарує Вам усе своє серце ❤️📞 Приїжджайте знайомитися.
