Raya (Рая)

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Raya was dumped at the animal shelter. They just released her on the road, where there are cars, where dogs are walked. Spayed, clean, well-groomed and very scared of the street, Raya crawled on her stomach to the dish where we put the stray pet food. They picked her up, brought her into the animal shelter as a child. Raya is still in shock! She is afraid of other cats, hides in her cage from everyone. We don't know why they got rid of her. We just want to find her a new home as soon as possible. Because for Raya, the animal shelter is a real hell. The kitten only eats wet pet food. Very quiet and shy. She sits on your hands. Urgently needs a home!

Раю підкинули під притулок. Просто випустили на дорогу, де машини, де вигулюють собак. Стерилізована, чистенька, доглянута і дуже налякана вулицею, Рая приповзла на животі до мисочки, де насипаємо вуличним корм. Взяли на руки, занесли у притулок дитину. Рая до сих пір у шоці! Вона боїться інших котів, ховається у своїй кліточці від усіх. Чому її позбулися, ми не знаємо. Хочемо тільки скоріше знайти для неї новий дім. Бо в притулку для Раї - справжній ад. Кішечка їсть тільки вологий корм. Дуже тиха і сором'язлива. Сидить на руках. Терміново потрібен дім!

About Raya (Рая)

What life with Raya (Рая) looks like

Raya (Рая) is a 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 Raya (Рая), answered.

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