Tom (Том)

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Tom is a tiny kitten, only 1 month old. He has the cutest whiskers on his face. He should live at home in safety. But this little cat has spent his whole life in a cage, where there is no space even to play. He is still very small and it is extremely dangerous for him to stay in the animal shelter. The kitten has no future, and one can say he has no life either. Tom doesn't know what freedom, happiness or tenderness are. But the little one already knows what a litter box is. We are trying to show him to the whole world, and maybe somewhere in someone's home and heart there will be some space for him. Do a good deed - Take him from the animal shelter, and this little cat will reward you with a lot of positive emotions and all his love and warmth.

Том – крошка на ладошку, йому всього 1 місяць. Власник найчарвніших мушок на мордашці. Йому б жити вдома в безпеці. А кото-комочок все життя провів в клітці, де немає місця навіть, щоб погратися. Він ще зовсім крихітка і в притулку йому перебувати вкрай небезпечно. У маля ні майбутнього, та й самого життя можна сказати не має. Том не знає, що таке воля, щастя і ніжність. Зате маля вже знає, що таке лоточок. Робимо спробу показати його всьому світові, і можливо в чиємусь домі і серці знайдеться для нього трішки місця. Зробіть добру справу - Візьміть з притулку, а кото-комочок подарує Вам, за свій шанс на життя, море позитивних емоцій і всю свою любов і тепло.

About Tom (Том)

What life with Tom (Том) looks like

Tom (Том) is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Happy Paw Kyiv 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

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 Tom (Том), answered.

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