Rikki (Ріккі)

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Hello, I'm Ricky. I was born and lived on Podil with eight brothers and sisters. It was a real test: we were sick a lot and just tried to survive on the street. But fortunately, we were rescued and taken to safety. I am 2 months old. I am completely healthy, treated for parasites and vaccinated. I confess honestly: I am a boy and the biggest troublemaker among our entire cat family! I have a sea of energy, I love playing actively, exploring everything around and inventing new funny pranks. Despite my hooligan and fighting character, I am still a little kitten. I need warmth, understanding and a safe place to really flourish and show all my love. I'm looking for a family that will appreciate my cheerfulness and support my fun games. I'm currently at the "Kotonosiki" shelter in Kyiv and I'm really waiting for my person. Come to get to know me!

Привіт, я Ріккі. Я народився і жив на Подолі разом із вісьмома братиками та сестричками. Це було справжнє випробування: ми багато хворіли і просто намагалися вижити на вулиці. Але, на щастя, нас врятували та забрали в безпеку. Мені 2 місяці. Я повністю здоровий, оброблений від паразитів та вакцинований. Зізнаюся чесно: я хлопчик і найбільший хуліган серед усього нашого котячого сімейства! У мені море енергії, я обожнюю активно гратися, досліджувати все навколо і вигадувати нові кумедні бешкети. Незважаючи на мій хуліганський та бойовий характер, я все ще маленьке кошеня. Мені потрібні тепло, розуміння та безпечне місце, щоб розквітнути по-справжньому і показати всю свою любов. Шукаю родину, яка оцінить мою життєрадісність та підтримає мої веселі ігри. Зараз я знаходжуся в притулку «Котоносики» в Києві і дуже чекаю на свою людину. Приїжджайте знайомитися!

About Rikki (Ріккі)

What life with Rikki (Ріккі) looks like

Rikki (Ріккі) 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 Rikki (Ріккі), answered.

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