How do I contact the shelter about Ris (Рись)?

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

Can I adopt Ris (Рись) if I live in another country?

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

Ris (Рись)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

A girl was found on the street, lost and scared. It turned out she lived in one of the courtyards of the city, where she was fed until some people took her to an unknown place and left her. We did not return her to that courtyard - she deserves a real family! Named Rysya for her characteristic coat color. Currently staying at VetExpert clinic. The girl is very social, constantly asking for attention! She can become your faithful friend. Eats dry and wet pet food. Familiar with the litter box. Healthy, treated for parasites, will be vaccinated in a few days. If you fell in love with Rysya, are ready to give her a home (with a soft bed, nets on the windows and quality pet food) and have a carrier - we are waiting for your call! We will help with spaying. Curator Lyudmila, phone.

Дівчинку знайшли на вулиці, розгублену та налякану. Як виявилось, вона проживала в одному з дворів міста, де її підгодовували, поки якісь люди не винесли її в незнайоме місце і не покинули. В той двір ми її повертати не стали - вона заслуговує на справжню сім'ю! Назвали Рись за характерне забарвлення. Наразі перебуває в клініці VetExpert. Дівчинка надзвичайно контактна, постійно просить уваги! Вона може стати для вас вірним другом) Їсть сухий і вологий корм. Знайома з лотком. Здорова, оброблена від паразитів, через декілька днів вакцинуємо. Якщо ви закохались в Рись, готові подарувати їй дім (з м'якою лежанкою, сітками на вікнах та якісним кормом) і маєте переноску - чекаємо на ваш дзвінок! Зі стерилізацією допоможемо.
