How do I contact the shelter about Silva (Сільва)?

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 Silva (Сільва) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Silva (Сільва) 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 Silva (Сільва) 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 Silva (Сільва) 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 Silva (Сільва) and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Silva (Сільва)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Silva may not be able to handle life in the animal shelter... The girl cats are 3 years old. She is an incredible beautiful ginger British Shorthair who not long ago still had a home. But due to family circumstances, she ended up in the animal shelter. For many cats, the animal shelter becomes a temporary haven. But for Silva, it has become a real trial. The girl is extremely stressed in the cage. She cannot understand why she lost her home, her person, her normal life. With each day, she becomes more depressed. It is harder and harder to watch the kitten that was once domestic and happy fade away. And it is already clear that Silva is simply not made for life in the animal shelter. She cannot cope with the stress. She desperately needs a home. Silva is spayed, housebroken, and does well on the litter box. She is calm, well-raised, and very much needs a person with whom she can again feel safe. Every night she whines in the cage, though she should be whining on the couch with her caregiver. And my heart aches to think that her life has been changed so unjustly. Please give Silva a second chance. Do not let this domesticated kitten fade away from loneliness and stress. She has already lost her home once. Help her find a new one.

Сільва може не витримати життя в притулку... Кото-дівчинці 3 роки. Вона неймовірно красива попеляста британочка, яка ще зовсім недавно мала дім. Але через сімейні обставини опинилася в притулку. Для багатьох котиків притулок стає тимчасовим прихистком. Та для Сільви він став справжнім випробуванням. Дівчинка дуже сильно стресує в клітці. Вона не може зрозуміти, чому втратила свій дім, свою людину, своє звичне життя. З кожним днем вона стає все сумнішою. Все важче дивитися на те, як згасає киця, яка ще недавно була домашньою і щасливою. І вже очевидно, що Сільва просто не створена для життя в притулку. Вона не справляється зі стресом. Їй терміново потрібен дім. Сільва стерилізована, охайна, чудово ходить на лоточок. Спокійна, вихована і дуже потребує людину, поруч з якою знову зможе відчути себе в безпеці. Щовечора вона засинає в клітці, хоча мала б засинати на дивані поруч із господарем. І серце розривається від думки, що її життя змінилося так несправедливо. Будь ласка, подаруйте Сільві другий шанс. Не дайте цій домашній киці згаснути від самотності та стресу. Вона вже втратила свій дім одного разу. Допоможіть їй знайти новий.
