Starenka Sonichka (Старенька Сонічка)

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

Sonia's actual age is an absolute mystery. Upon arrival at the shelter, it was reported that she was 8 years old, but she looks like 108... Maybe it's due to the peculiarities of her breed (unknown, but Sonia's appearance is very unconventional). Maybe Sonia needs an additional checkup from veterinarians who will find the reason for her premature aging. Or maybe she's really far from 8 years old. Sonia herself categorically refuses to discuss her age. Sonia eats a lot and doesn't gain weight. She sleeps a lot and always finds the strength to walk around the shelter and meow at all the cats she sees. The cats in response call her "malicious old woman." But none of them said a word to Sonia, they respect her, silently tolerate her. Sonia is also not very friendly with people, although she has moments of weakness when she prefers to sit on her hands. However, she does not allow her claws to be trimmed, let alone comb her, not to mention bathing her majesty. So she walks shaggy, smelly, and clicks her claws on the floor. Honestly, it's not clear at all how to find a home for Sonia to live out her days, because it's not even clear from which side to approach this little grump. We are looking for a very brave and patient person for Sonia. Who will have to go to the groomer (wash/comb), a veterinarian (at least a cat dentist) and high-quality food. Although Sonia will eat everything that is not nailed, it is dangerous for her. Sonia is accustomed to the tray, even without filler. For questions about getting to know Sonia, call: 83 99.

Скільки Соні насправді років - абсолютна загадка. При заїзді у притулок повідомили, що їй 8 років, але виглядає вона на 108... Можливо справа в особливостях її породи (невідомо якої, але зовнішність у Соні дуже нестандартна). Можливо, Соні потрібен додатковий чекап у ветеринарів, які знайдуть причину її дострокового старіння. А можливо їй дійсно далеко вже не вісім. Сама Соня категорично відмовляється обговорювати її вік. Соня багато їсть та не набирає вагу. Багато спить та завжди знаходить сили обійти притулок та нашипіти на всіх котів, яких побачить. Котики у відповідь між собою звуть її "злобна старушенція". Але ніхто з них Соні слова вповперек не сказав, поважають, мовчки терплять. З людьми Соня теж не дуже привітна, хоча і у неї бувають минути слабкості, коли вона воліє посидіти на ручках. Проте кігті собі підстригти не дозволяє, вичесати тим паче, не кажучи вже про те, щоб викупати її величність. Так і ходить кошлата, смердюча та цокає кігтями по підлозі. Чесно, взагалі незрозуміло, як знайти Соні дім на доживання, бо неясно навіть з якої сторони підступитись до цієї маленької буркотунки. Для Соні шукаємо дуже сміливу та терплячу людину. Якій доведеться вкластись в грумера (помити/причесати), ветеринара (як мінімум котячого стоматолога) та якісний корм. Хоча Соня з'їсть все що не приколочено, це небезпечно для неї. До лотка Соня привчена, навіть без наповнювача. З питань знайомства з Сонєю телефонуйте: 83 99 Телефонуйте/пишіть (Viber, Telegram, WhatsApp)

Frequently asked

Adopting Starenka Sonichka (Старенька Сонічка), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Starenka Sonichka (Старенька Сонічка)?
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 Starenka Sonichka (Старенька Сонічка) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Starenka Sonichka (Старенька Сонічка) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Starenka Sonichka (Старенька Сонічка) 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 Starenka Sonichka (Старенька Сонічка) 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 Starenka Sonichka (Старенька Сонічка) 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.
