Adopt Rayan (Райан)

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Ryan. A marble boy who has been through too much for such a young kitten... He and his little brother were rescued from the war. From the war zones, he was taken in a bag, transferred to a train, passed from hand to hand, just to survive. Finally, they took him to Kyiv — alive. Saved. But for now... without a family. His little brother was almost immediately taken home. And Ryan remained sitting in the cat dormitory cage and doesn't understand why, after everything he's been through, he is alone again. He looks with eyes full of hope, reaches out to people, begs for affection, begs for warmth. He is a cuddle kitten, a kiss kitten — gentle, kind, very affectionate by nature. Ryan: 8 months old, neutered, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, young, amazing handsome guy, infinitely affectionate and social. His fate is being decided right now. And it's so painful to realize that a kitten who has gone through war, fear and cold still doesn't have his own home... He doesn't ask for much — just hands that will stroke, arms in which it will be safe, and a person to love. Give Ryan a home. Let his story end not in a cage, but on a couch, with warmth and love. He is waiting very much. Very much.

Райан. Мраморний хлопчик, який занадто багато пережив для такого молодого котика… Його разом з братиком врятували з війни. Із зон бойових дій його вивозили в мішку, перекидали на потяг, передавали з рук у руки, аби тільки вижив. У Києві його нарешті забрали — живого. Врятованого. Але поки що… без родини. Братика майже відразу забрали додому. А райан лишився сидіти у клітці кото-дитбудинку і не розуміє, чому після всього пережитого він знову сам. Він дивиться очима, повними надії, тягнеться до людини, просить ласки, просить тепла. Він котик-обнімака, котик-цілувака — ніжний, добрий, дуже ласкавий душею. Райан: вік 8 міс, кастрований, вакцинований, оброблений від бліх і глистів, молодий, неймовірний красень, безмежно ласкавий і контактний. Його доля вирішується прямо зараз. І так боляче усвідомлювати, що котик, який пройшов війну, страх і холод, досі не має свого дому… Він не просить багато — лише руки, які будуть гладити, обійми, в яких буде безпечно, і людину, яку можна любити. Подаруйте Райану дім. Нехай його історія закінчиться не кліткою, а диваном, теплом і любов’ю. Він дуже чекає. Дуже.

About Rayan (Райан)

What life with Rayan (Райан) looks like

Rayan (Райан) is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Happy Paw Kyiv in Ukraine.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇺🇦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 Rayan (Райан), answered.

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