How do I contact the shelter about Melisa (Меліса)?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Happy Paw Kirovohrad handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Melisa (Меліса) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Melisa (Меліса) if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Happy Paw Kirovohrad 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 Melisa (Меліса) 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 Melisa (Меліса) 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 Kirovohrad early rather than rehoming privately; they know Melisa (Меліса) 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.

Melisa (Меліса)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

We posted an ad a couple of months ago about a kitten that appeared in the area of the dendropark, near an apartment building. The kitten was disoriented, and it became clear that she had simply been abandoned in the yard. Then it turned out that she was pregnant... In early July, we took the animals to be sterilized, and we took her too. After sterilization, we left the kitten at the shelter. We named her Melissa and are patiently waiting for her to start trusting us. Adoption is slow, Melissa seeks solitude and we sometimes look for her for a long time. But time is doing its job. She is getting used to us, lets herself be petted, and has had no problems with the booster shots. She is also incredibly beautiful, like all our cats. And we dream of the best family for Melissa. Sterilized. Has all vaccinations.

Пару місяців тому ми виставляли допис про кішечку, яка зʼявилась в районі дендропарку , біля багатоповерхівки . Кішечка була розгублена , стало зрозуміло що її просто підкинули у двір … А потім зʼясувалось , що вона вагітна …. На початку липня ми возили тваринок на стерилізацію , забрали і її , а після стерилізації залишили кішечку в притулку . Назвали Меліса і терпляче чекаємо коли вона почне нам довіряти Адоптація проходить повільно, Меліса шукає усамітнення і ми іноді довго її шукаємо. Але час робить свою справу. Звикає, дає себе погладити , без проблем зробили повтор щеплення. Вона теж неймовірно гарна , як і всі наші котики І ми мріємо про найкращу родину для Меліси Стерилізован Має всі щеплення
