How do I contact the shelter about Umka (Умка)?

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 Umka (Умка) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Umka (Умка) 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 Umka (Умка) 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 Umka (Умка) 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 Umka (Умка) 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.

Umka (Умка)

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Big white Umka came to us. And on the street he was dirty-yellow, in rags, with bloody scratched ears and neck, swollen eyes, thin and always hungry. No one wanted to take this "beauty" home, and also constantly treat his wounds. Umka eats only hypoallergenic pet food and with each day becomes more and more sleek. After the street he can't eat enough, so it will be necessary to control the amount of food. Umka is very emotional. He loves to climb onto knees, rub against legs, meow, attracting attention. He puts his head under hands and wants that the person is only his, all love and food - only for him! Aggressive towards cats, doesn't pay attention to cats. A playful, active kitten, already weighing about 6 kg. This little bear cub jumps very amusingly with toys. He will be very fluffy (now the fur has not yet grown back after the haircut)!

Великим і білим Умка став у нас. А на вулиці був брудно-жовтим, у ковтунах, з кривавими розчісаними вухами та шиєю, запаленими очима, худим і завжди голодним. Такого "красеня" ніхто не хотів брати додому, як і обробляти весь час рани. Умка їсть тільки гіпоалергенний корм і з кожним днем стає усе гладше. Після вулиці ніяк не може наїстися, тож треба буде контролювати кількість корму. Умка дуже емоційний. Він любить залізти на коліна, потертися об ноги, нявчить, привертаючи увагу. Підставляє голову під руки і хоче, щоб людина була тільки його, всю любов і їжа - тільки йому! З котами агресивний, на кішок уваги не звертає. Грайливий, активний котик, який вже важить біля 6 кг. Цей маленький ведмедик дуже кумедно стрибає з іграшками. Буде дуже пухнастим (зараз шубка ще не відросла після стрижки)! Готовий знайомитися з майбутньою родиною на Троєщині
