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.

Matyusha (Матюша)

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Matyusha was rescued from a freezing street. He is 3.5 months old. He was frozen and asked for help. Matyusha is still a very small kitten, who has seen more than children's eyes should see... He is still thin, but already incredibly gentle, kind and loving. Very good and tactile. Loves everyone. Constantly reaches for people, cries and wants to be held, because he is scared and lonely in the cage. It is hard for him in the cat nursery - he does not understand why again without his person. He is very smart, uses the litter box, loves warmth and softly purrs when petted. Very grateful for food. This kitten is not for the street or the cage - he really needs a home. He is waiting. Waiting for his family, who will say: "All right, little one, you are home. Your paws will no longer freeze." Please pay attention to him. Maybe you are his only chance for a full, peaceful and happy life.

Матюша врятований з морозної вулиці. Йому 3,5 місяці. Замерзав і просив про допомогу. Матюша ще зовсім маленьке кошеня, яке бачило більше, ніж мали б бачити дитячі оченята…Він ще худенький, але вже неймовірно ніжний, добрий і ласкавий. Дуже хороший і тактильний. Всіх любить. Постійно тягнеться до людини, плаче і проситься на ручки, бо йому страшно і самотньо в клітці. В кото-дитбудинку йому важко — він не розуміє, чому знову без своєї людини Він дуже розумний, ходить на лоточок, любить тепло і тихо муркотить, коли його гладять. Дуже вдячний за їжу. Це кошеня не для вулиці і не для клітки — йому дуже потрібен дім. Він чекає. Чекає свою родину, яка скаже:«Все, малюк, ти вдома. Більше лапи відмерзати не будуть». Будь ласка, зверніть на нього увагу Можливо, саме ви — його єдиний шанс на сите, спокійне і щасливе життя.
