Adopt Snizhok (Сніжок)

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

IT WAS SIMPLY THROWN OUT IN THE COLD IN THE SNOW. A small white kitten was lying in a snowdrift and didn't know where to go, blending in with the snow so much that it was almost run over by a car. It was almost invisible... if not for one movement - a tiny body stirred. This saved its life. They picked it up - cold, scared... And then it became clear: it is an incredible gentle, kind boy who just wants to live and be next to a person. He is about 5 months old, and they named him Snowflake - because they found him in the snow, and he is completely white, like a little snowflake. Snowflake is very tactile, affectionate, reaches out to people, trusts, purrs and cuddles. He doesn't know what betrayal is - although he has already experienced it. Now his fate is being decided. And the heart breaks at the thought that he might end up on the street again, in the cold, in the snow, where they once left him to die... He really needs a family. Very much. But so far no one wants to take him... Please help Snowflake find a home. A home that will be warm, safe and forever. He survived in the snow - let him now live in love at home. Share. Maybe you are his only hope for life.

Read original (uk)

Його просто викинули на мороз в сніг. Маленьке біле кошенятко лежало в сугробі і не знало куди дітися, зливаючись зі снігом так, що його ледве не переїхала машина. Він був майже невидимий… якби не один рух — крихітне тільце зашевелилося. Саме це врятувало йому життя. Його взяли на руки — холодного, наляканого… І тоді стало зрозуміло: це неймовірно ніжний, добрий хлопчик, який просто хоче жити й бути поруч з людиною. Йому близько 5 місяців, і його назвали Сніжок — бо знайшли в снігу, і він повністю білий, мов маленька сніжинка. Сніжок дуже тактильний, ласкавий, тягнеться до людей, довіряє, муркоче й тулиться. Він не знає, що таке зрада — хоча вже пережив її. Зараз вирішується його доля. І серце розривається від думки, що він може знову опинитися на вулиці, в холоді, в снігу, де його одного разу вже залишили помирати…Йому дуже потрібна родина. Дуже. Але поки що ніхто не хоче його забрати… Будь ласка, допоможіть Сніжку знайти дім. Дім, де буде тепло, безпечно й назавжди. Він вижив у снігу — нехай тепер живе в любові вдома Поділіться. Можливо, саме ви — його єдина надія на життя.

About Snizhok (Сніжок)

What life with Snizhok (Сніжок) looks like

Snizhok (Сніжок) is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Happy Paw Kyiv in Ukraine.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇺🇦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 Snizhok (Сніжок), answered.

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