How do I contact the shelter about Shurik (Шурік)?

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 Shurik (Шурік) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Shurik (Шурік) 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 Shurik (Шурік) 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 Shurik (Шурік) 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 Shurik (Шурік) 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.

Shurik (Шурік)

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Kyiv! Time is passing, and the little one is waiting every day with impatience for his family, but no one comes. Will he be destined to remain homeless? 💔 Meet Shurik - a sweet, funny, incredibly handsome, and joyful kitten. 📍Age ~ 8 months, vaccinated, has a veterinary passport, neutered, knows the litter box. ❤️‍🩹 The kitten was rescued from a deep basement where his mother cat gave birth. At that time, the small one was already undernourished. He was weak and the smallest, but grew up under the care of such a handsome one. He loves to play, gets along with other kittens, is sociable, accepts affection, and relies on a person he trusts (needs time for adaptation). ☎️ Right now, the tail is in an animal shelter, this post is his only chance to find his people, contact for details:

Київ! Час йде, малюк кожен день з нетерпінням виглядає свою родину, а ніхто так і не приходить. Невже він приречений залишится безпритульним? 💔 Знайомтеся, це Шурік - милий, кумедний, неймовірно гарний і життєрадісний котик. 📍Вік ~ 8 місяців, щеплений, є паспорт, кастрований, знає лоточок. ❤️‍🩹 Котика врятували з глибокого підвалу, де його народила мама-киця. Маленький не доїдав вже на той момент. Був кволий та найменший, а виріс під опікою в такого красеня. Любить гратися, ладнає з іншими котиками, компанійський, приймає ласку та орієнтується на людину, якій довіряє (потрібен час для адаптації). ☎️ Зараз хвостик сидить у притулку, цей пост - єдиний шанс для нього знайти своїх людей, за деталями звертайтеся: Ірина 87
