Stepashka (Степашка)

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Kyiv and the suburbs! Our guys took in this kitten, he lived with them in a bunker, they brought him to Kupiansk. We don't know if he was ever a pet or if he spent his whole life trying to survive in those terrible conditions. He had to find food on his own and hide from explosions, rain, and cold. Now he's in Kyiv, but he really wants to live in warmth with a person who will love him. The cat is not small, but large, neutered, has a rabies vaccination, very gentle, loves to eat, non-confrontational with other animals, has a soft tiger coat. Just look, what an incredible handsome cat dreams of a cozy home and a loving family nearby! He awaits his people every day with impatience. Age is unknown, but approximately 4-5 years old, healthy, treated, has a rabies vaccination, litter box trained.

Київ і передмістя! Котика прихистили наші хлопці, він мешкав з ними в бліндажу, привезли його Купʼянська. Нам не відомо чи був він колись домашнім улюбленцем, чи все своє життя намагався вижити в тих страшних умовах. Йому треба було самотужки шукати їжу і де сховатися від вибухів, дощу та холоду. Зараз він вже в Києві, та дуже хоче жити в теплі з людиною яка буде його любити. Котик не маленький, а великий, кастрований, має щеплення від сказу, дуже лагідний, любить поїсти, не конфліктний з іншими тваринами, в нього м’яка тигрова шубка. Ви тільки подивіться, який неймовірний красень кіт мріє про затишну домівку і люблячу родину поряд! Він кожного дня з нетерпінням чекає на своїх людей! Вік - точно не відомо, але приблизно 4-5 рочків, здоровий, оброблений, має щеплення від сказу, привчений до лотка.

About Stepashka (Степашка)

What life with Stepashka (Степашка) looks like

Stepashka (Степашка) is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Happy Paw Kyiv Oblast 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

Frequently asked

Adopting Stepashka (Степашка), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Stepashka (Степашка)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Happy Paw Kyiv Oblast handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Stepashka (Степашка) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Stepashka (Степашка) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Happy Paw Kyiv Oblast 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 Stepashka (Степашка) 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 Stepashka (Степашка) 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 Oblast early rather than rehoming privately; they know Stepashka (Степашка) 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.
