Matyusha (Матюша)

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Matyusha can no longer stand living in a cat shelter. He is very offended and bullied by other cats. The boy is still very young, only 1.5 years old, and cannot stand up for himself. He is very nice and beautiful, gentle and very good. He should live in love, not in constant stress in a cat shelter. Noise, many animals, strange smells - it's a real test for him. He gets lost, gets scared, can't find his place and just silently waits for it to end. But without a home, this will not end... Matyusha is a smart and sensitive cat who needs a cozy home, peace and a person by his side. Where he can finally relax, trust and be happy. Matyusha is neutered, vaccinated, and perfectly knows the litter box. He was not created for a cage, for bullying. He was created for a home. Please give Matyusha a chance to stop being afraid and start living.

Матюша просто вже не витримує життя в кото-дитбудинку Його дуже ображають і гноблять інші котики. Хлопчик ще зовсім молоденький, йому 1,5 року, не вміє за себе постояти. Він дуже мило-красивий, ніжний і дуже хороший. Мав би жити в любові, а не в постійному стресі в кото-булінгу. Шум, багато тварин, чужі запахи — для нього це справжнє випробування. Він губиться, лякається, не знаходить собі місця і просто тихо чекає, коли це закінчиться. Але без дому це не закінчиться… Матюша розумний і чутливий котик, якому потрібен домашній затишок, спокій і своя людина поруч. Там, де він зможе нарешті розслабитися, довіритися і бути щасливим. Матюша вже кастрований, вакцинований, ідеально знає лоточок. Він не створений для клітки, для знущань. Він створений для дому. Будь ласка, подаруйте Матюші шанс перестати боятися і почати жити. Можливо, саме поруч із вами він нарешті відчує, що таке спокій і любов

About Matyusha (Матюша)

What life with Matyusha (Матюша) looks like

Matyusha (Матюша) is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Happy Paw Kyiv 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 Matyusha (Матюша), answered.

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