Rizhulya (Рижуля)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

She is just a furry kitten... and she is waiting for the street. She is a trusting, sunny little cat who believes in people and reaches out to every touch. When you pick her up, she immediately presses against you, softly purrs, as if afraid that she will be let go right away... And the biggest fear is that this can really happen. She can be sent back to the street. There, where it is cold. Where it is hungry. Where it is scary. There, where such gentle, homebound souls simply cannot survive... She does not know how to fight for life. She only knows how to love. In her eyes is panic and plea: "Please... don't send me there..." She will run after a person, will cry, will wait... but no one will turn back. And this will break her. Rizhulya is not "just another cat". It is a little heart that can fade simply because no one took her home in time... Please save her. Don't let her end up where she has no chance. Come. Take her. Give her life... before it's too late.

UK·Show original

Вона просто шерстяна кото-дитина… і її чекає вулиця. Вона довірлива сонячна котуся, яка вірить людям і тягнеться до кожного дотику. Коли береш її на руки — вона одразу притискається, тихенько муркоче, ніби боїться, що її зараз відпустять… І найбільший страх у тому, що це правда може статися. Її можуть повернути на вулицю. Туди, де холод. Де голодно. Де страшно. Туди, де такі ніжні, домашні душі просто не виживають… Вона не вміє боротися за життя. Вона вміє лише любити. В її очах — паніка і благання: «Будь ласка… не віддавай мене туди…» Вона буде бігти за людиною, буде плакати, буде чекати… але ніхто не обернеться. І це зламає її. Рижуля — це не «ще одна кішка». Це маленьке серце, яке може згаснути просто тому, що ніхто не забрав її додому вчасно… Будь ласка, врятуйте її. Не дайте їй опинитися там, де в неї немає шансів. Приїдьте. Заберіть. Подаруйте їй життя… поки ще не пізно.

About Rizhulya (Рижуля)

What life with Rizhulya (Рижуля) looks like

Rizhulya (Рижуля) is a young 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 Rizhulya (Рижуля), answered.

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