How do I contact the shelter about Richard (Річард)?

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 Richard (Річард) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Richard (Річард) 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 Richard (Річард) 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 Richard (Річард) 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 Richard (Річард) 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.

Richard (Річард)

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Richard's life has just begun, and he has already learned what fear, pain, and cold are. This green-eyed kitten-boy went through the war - he was brought from Sloviansk, where he fought for survival among explosions and hunger. Despite all this, Richard remains extremely gentle, smart, and grateful. He looks at people with trust, as if saying: "I still believe in good, please take me home..." Richard is about 8 months old. He is already neutered, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, has all tests and documents, and knows the litter box well. The boy is tidy and calm, behaves politely in the animal shelter, although he suffers greatly from loneliness. When someone approaches him, he immediately reaches out with his paws, asks to be picked up, and purrs - so sincerely that even the coldest heart would melt. Give Richard a chance for a happy life. Let him forget about the cold and the war, and instead learn what a real home, care, and love are.

У Річарда життя тільки почалося, а він уже пізнав, що таке страх, біль і холод. Цей зеленоокий кото-хлопчик пройшов крізь війну — його привезли зі Слов’янська, де він боровся за виживання серед вибухів і голоду. І попри все це, Річард залишився надзвичайно ніжним, розумним і вдячним. Він дивиться на людину з довірою, ніби каже: «Я ще вірю в добро, просто забери мене додому…» Річарду близько 8 місяців. Він уже кастрований, вакцинований, оброблений від блох і глистів, має всі тести й документи, чудово знає лоточок. Хлопчик охайний і спокійний, у притулку поводиться чемно, хоч і дуже страждає від самотності. Коли до нього підходять, він одразу тягнеться лапками, проситься на руки й муркоче — так щиро, що розтане будь-яке серце. Подаруйте Річарду шанс на щасливе життя. Нехай він забуде про холод і війну, а замість цього дізнається, що таке справжній дім, турбота і любов. Він віддячить вам безмежною відданістю, ніжністю і теплом, яке тільки може подарувати врятоване котяче серце ❤️
