Sambuka (Самбука)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Dnipro. The elusive Sambuka is finally ready for meeting. Eight cats were brought from the military, but for some reason there was always seven in the kennel run. They counted, got nervous, until they figured out to look under the bed. Sambuka hid there for the first two weeks. Finally, she started coming out for feeding and even allows herself to be petted. How can one not be afraid here? At first, the owners threw her away in a village near the front line, then the soldiers took her along with them on positions (so as not to lose her), and now she ended up in an animal shelter, with so many unfamiliar smells. When Sambuka realized she was safe, then she came into contact. What do we have? A young healthy cautious cat, spayed, litter box trained, friendly with furry neighbors, sits on hands anxiously, but does not resist. In size, small. Ready to trust kind people, get used to a new home, cozy, without loud companies and small children. Come meet Sambuka at the animal shelter in the center of the city.

Дніпро. Невловима Самбука нарешті готова до знайомства. Котів від військових привезли вісьмох, але в вольєрі чомусь весь час було сім, рахували, нервували, доки не здогадались заглянути під лежанку. Саме там Самбука ховалась перші два тижні. Нарешті почала виходити на годування та навіть дозволяє себе погладити. Ну а як тут не боятись? Спочатку кинули хазяї в прифронтовому селі, потім військові возили із собою по позиціях (щоб не загубити), а тепер опинилась в притулку, де стільки незнайомих запахів... Коли Самбука зрозуміла, що в безпеці, тоді й вийшла на контакт. Що маємо? Молода здорова обережна кішка, стерилізована, привчена до лотка, дружня з вусатими сусідами, на руках сидить занепокоєно, але не опирається. За розміром невеличка. Готова довіритись добрим людям, звикати до нового дому, затишного, без гучних компаній та маленьких дітей. Приходьте познайомитись із Самбукою в притулок в центрі міста. 83 99 Телефонуйте/пишіть (Viber, Telegram, WhatsApp) Розглядається вкотовлювання котиків з притулку в інше місто за умовою активної участі вкотовлювачів в організації переїзду.

About Sambuka (Самбука)

What life with Sambuka (Самбука) looks like

Sambuka (Самбука) is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Happy Paw Dnipro 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sambuka (Самбука), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sambuka (Самбука)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Happy Paw Dnipro handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sambuka (Самбука) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sambuka (Самбука) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Happy Paw Dnipro 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 Sambuka (Самбука) 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 Sambuka (Самбука) 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 Dnipro early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sambuka (Самбука) 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.
