Maya (Мая)

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Meet Maya! We gave her this name, we don't know what she was called before. Her story is now common, but no less tragic. The first owner of Maya died at the beginning of the war and was taken in by a neighbor who already had many stray kittens. Later, the village was completely evacuated, the neighbor's house, like many others in the village, was destroyed. Thus, Maya and other rescued kittens ended up under our care. Now the cat needs long, painful, and expensive treatment. First, it's a severe inflammation in the mouth and a terrible condition of the teeth, which need to be removed. Right now, the cat has pain when eating and has started losing weight. Second, it's sick paws, the girl has pain when walking, it hurts even when you just touch her paws. We don't know exactly how to treat it yet, but certainly, if nothing is done, the condition will get worse. Estimated treatment cost 13,000 UAH. Updated Information as of February 2026. After completing treatment, Maya returned to the animal shelter, after some time, she showed symptoms of a stomach disease, after a doctor's examination and tests, it was found: gastroenterocolitis and triaditis. Estimated amount for treatment:

Знайомтесь це- Мая! Таке ім'я дали їй ми, як її звали до цього нам не відомо. Історія її в наш час уже банальна, але від того не менш трагічна. Перший господар Маї помер на початку війни і її забрала до себе сусідка у якої вже було багато підібраних котиків. Згодом село було повністю євакуйоване, дім сусідки, як і багато інших в тому селі зруйновано. Так Мая і інші врятовані котики опинилися під нашою опікою. Зараз киця потребує тривале, болісне і дороговартісне лікування. Перше- це страшне запалення в ротовій порожнині і жахливий стан зубів, які необхідно видаляти. На разі кішці боляче їсти і вона почала втрачати вагу. Дгуге- це хворі лапки, дівчинці боляче ходити, їй боляче навіть коли ти просто торкаєшся лапок. Як саме це лікувати ми поки не знаєм, але однозначно якщо нічого не робити стан буде погіршуватись. Орієнтовна вартість лікування 13 000 грн. Оновлена Іноформація станом на Лютий 2026р. Після завершення лікування Мая повернулась до притулку, через деякий час, у неї виявили симптоми захворювання шлунку, після огляду у лікаря та проведених аналізів було виявлено: гастроентероколіт та триадіт. Орієнтовна сума до лікування: 6000 грн

About Maya (Мая)

What life with Maya (Мая) looks like

Maya (Мая) is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Happy Paw Sumy Oblast 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 Maya (Мая), answered.

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