Zhana (Жана)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

🧡 Zhanah. The war took her paws, but it didn’t take away her desire to live and love... Zhanah is only 10 months old. She was brought to us from a combat zone. There, the war changed her life forever—due to an injury, she can no longer stand on her hind legs. But Zhanah hasn’t given up. She moves around independently on her front paws, reliably uses the litter box by herself, eats and drinks well. She’s completely healthy, despite her special condition. Most amazingly, she hasn’t lost faith in people. Zhanah is incredibly gentle, loves playing very much, and will crawl up to a person on her own, as if asking: “Play with me... Don’t leave me alone.” For her, attention and warmth are true happiness. Zhanah is spayed and vaccinated. Because of her unique situation, almost no one notices her. And every day, she grieves in the shelter, where loneliness hurts far more than her old injury ever did. Give Zhanah a home. She doesn’t need perfect paws—she needs a loving heart nearby. ❤️

🧡 Жана. Війна забрала її лапки, але не забрала бажання жити й любити… Жані всього 10 місяців. Її привезли із зони бойових дій. Там війна назавжди змінила її життя — через травму вона більше не стає на задні лапки. Але Жана не здалася. Вона самостійно пересувається на передніх лапках, справно самостійно ходить на лоточок, добре їсть і п'є. Повністю здорова, незважаючи на своюособливість. Найдивовижніше те, що вона не втратила віру в людей. Жана неймовірно ніжна, дуже любить гратися, сама підповзає до людини і ніби просить: «Пограйся зі мною… Не залишай мене саму». Для неї увага й тепло — це справжнє щастя. Жана стерилізована, вакцинована. Через свою особливість її майже ніхто не помічає. А вона щодня сумує в притулку, де самотність болить набагато сильніше, ніж стара травма. Подаруйте Жані дім. Їй не потрібні ідеальні лапки — їй потрібне любляче сердечко поруч. ❤️

About Zhana (Жана)

What life with Zhana (Жана) looks like

Zhana (Жана) 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 Zhana (Жана), answered.

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