Zala (Зала)

Mixed Breed · Female

Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast! Seeking a family! Zala is looking for a home, where she will never be betrayed... This home-loving kitten was taken down from a tree. She had been up there for quite some time—scared, tired, lonely. We were very hopeful that her owners would come forward, that this was just a random occurrence. But sadly, the wait was in vain. Zala arrived with us emaciated, subdued, with a heavy heart. Yet, she did not lose her faith in humanity. We gradually brought her into our home: delicious food, care, and peace. And now before us is a completely different kitten. Zala has recovered, looks great, her fur shines, and her gaze has become softer and warmer. She is quiet, restrained in her emotions, a very delicate girl. Not scared, not pushy—just a balanced, calm cat who will bring quiet happiness to a home. Zala does not need noise and fuss. She needs a family that will never betray her. A family that will cherish her gentleness and give her a permanent sense of security. If you are ready to be everything to her, write to us. Maybe she was waiting for you up there, high on the tree... Date of birth: November 25, 2018. Coat color: blue-cream tortoise. Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, with a veterinary passport. House-trained, eats quality pet food.

Київ і Київська область! Шукаємо родину! Зала шукає дім, де її більше ніколи не зрадять… Цю домашню кішечку ми зняли з дерева. Вона просиділа там доволі довго — налякана, виснажена, самотня. Ми дуже сподівались, що озвуться господарі, що це просто прикра випадковість. Але, на жаль, дива не сталося. Зала приїхала до нас худенькою, знесиленою, з сумом в очах. Та вона не втратила головного – довіри до людини. Ми поступово привели її до тями: смачна їжа, турбота, спокій – і ось перед нами вже зовсім інша кішечка. Зала поправилась, чудово виглядає, її шерсть блищить, а погляд став м’якшим і теплішим. Вона тиха, стримана в емоціях, дуже делікатна дівчинка. Не ляклива, не нав’язлива – просто спокійна, врівноважена кішка, яка буде тихим щастям у домі. Залі не потрібен шум і метушня. Їй потрібна родина, яка не зрадить. Яка цінуватиме її ніжність і подарує відчуття безпеки назавжди. Якщо ви готові стати для неї всім світом, напишіть нам. Можливо, саме на вас вона чекала там, високо на дереві… Умовна дата народження 25 листопада 2018 року. Забарвлення – блакитно-кремова черепаха. Кастрована, вакцинована, чипована, з ветеринарним паспортом. До лотка привчена, їсть якісний корм. Надаємо інформаційну підтримку, консультацію зоопсихолога та ветеринарного лікаря.

About Zala (Зала)

What life with Zala (Зала) looks like

Zala (Зала) is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dobri Ruky in Kyiv.

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 Zala (Зала), answered.

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