How do I contact the shelter about Stiva (Стіва)?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dobri Ruky handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Stiva (Стіва) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Stiva (Стіва) if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dobri Ruky 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 Stiva (Стіва) 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 Stiva (Стіва) 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 Dobri Ruky early rather than rehoming privately; they know Stiva (Стіва) 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.

Stiva (Стіва)

Mixed Breed · Female

This is Stevie, and her life didn't start off very happily. She was still in kittenhood when she fell ill, unable to breathe and see. Due to breathing issues, she couldn't eat. Fighting the illness and the harsh realities of street life was also a struggle. One day, Stevie ended up at Stiva (Стіва). She was treated for a long time. Pretty soon, she was feeling better, but it was only the beginning. The eye problem wasn't resolved, and more treatment, surgery, and rehabilitation followed. Then a second surgery. Her eye is better, but not perfect. If Stevie were at home, her owners would gently clean her eye, but in the animal shelter, regular cleaning isn't possible. She's a wonderful, kind-natured kitten with a soft voice, calm and happy to spend time with you. P.S. Stevie doesn't like being photographed, so she's not a model at all. So, sorry for what we could manage. Coat color – tabby, long-haired. Conditional date of birth – June 1, 2018. Vaccinated, sterilized, with a veterinary passport. House-trained, eats quality dry pet food. We are looking for the best owners!

Це Стіва, і її життя почалось не дуже радісно. Ще кошеням вона захворіла, не могла дихати та бачити. Через проблеми з диханням не могла їсти. Боротися з захворюванням та з жорстокою дійсністю вуличного життя теж не могла. Одного дня Стіва потрапила в притулок. Її довго лікували. Доволі скоро їй стало краще, але це був тільки початок. Проблема з оком не вирішувалась і знову лікування, операція, реабілітація. Потім друга операція. Око краще, але не ідеальне. Якби Стіва була дома, за нею піклувались би господарі, протирали б очко, а в притулку робити це регулярно немає можливості. Чудова ласкава киця з м’яким характером і дуже ніжним тихим голосочком, вона спокійна, з задоволенням проведе час поруч з Вами. P.S. Стіва не любить фотографуватись, от не модель вона від слова зовсім. Тому пробачте, все, що змогли) Забарвлення – таббі, довгошерста. Умовна дата народження – 1 червня 2018 року. Вакцинована, стерилізована, з ветеринарним паспортом. До лотка привчена, їсть якісний сухий корм. Шукаємо найкращих господарів! Надаємо інформаційну підтримку, консультацію зоопсихолога та ветеринарного лікаря.
