Shalfeya (Шалфея)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Shalfeya, 1 year old. They simply put her outside. In winter. In the cold. In the snow. A homebound, quiet, gentle girl... Gray like a cloud. She couldn't survive outdoors. She only knew how to love. She stood under the entrance and waited. She didn't run away. She thought someone would come back for her. But no one came back. Now she is in the animal shelter. Spayed. Neat. Perfectly uses the litter box. Calm, gentle, very polite cat. She is a ready-made child. No problems. No "but". Only the cage breaks her. She sits very quietly. Almost doesn't meow. Just looks. And feels sick. She is scared. She is cold. She is lonely among the metal bars. She doesn't understand why they are doing this to her. Such cats shouldn't live in cages. They were created for the sofa, warm hands and home. If she is not taken - she will just fade away. Not from illness. From loneliness. Please... Give her a home. She has already experienced abandonment. Let her now find out what love is. Write. Come. Take her. She is waiting very much.

Шалфея 1 рік. Її просто виставили за двері. Взимку. В мороз. У сніг. Домашню, тиху, чемну дівчинку… Сіру, як хмаринка. Вона не вміла виживати надворі. Вона вміла тільки любити. Стояла під під’їздом і чекала. Не тікала. Думала, що за нею повернуться. Але ніхто не повернувся. Тепер вона в клітці притулку. Стерилізована. Охайна. Ідеально ходить на лоток. Спокійна, ніжна, дуже чемна кішечка. Вона — готова домашня дитина. Без проблем. Без «але». Тільки клітка її ламає. Вона сидить тихо-тихо. Майже не нявкає. Просто дивиться. І нудиться. Їй страшно. Їй холодно. Їй самотньо серед металевих прутів. Вона не розуміє, за що з нею так. Такі кішки не повинні жити в клітках. Вони створені для дивана, теплих рук і дому. Якщо її не заберуть — вона просто згасне. Не від хвороби. Від самотності. Будь ласка… Подаруйте їй дім. Вона вже пережила зра́ду. Хай тепер дізнається, що таке любов. Напишіть. Приїдьте. Заберіть її. Вона дуже чекає.

About Shalfeya (Шалфея)

What life with Shalfeya (Шалфея) looks like

Shalfeya (Шалфея) 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 Shalfeya (Шалфея), answered.

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