Zhasmina (Жасміна)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

This cat has been through a lot... For months, she didn't leave the basement until she finally dared to come out for a treat. That's how we managed to catch her for spaying, and at the same time save her from danger - there is a shooter in the yard where she lived, who shoots cats and birds. During the examination, the doctor noticed something unusual. X-ray showed an old fused fracture of the hind leg. The cat doesn't have a knee - the bone has grown incorrectly, spreading apart like a horn. Whether it was a fall from height or a failed jump - we don't know. She will limp forever. That's why she was afraid to leave the basement. The prospects are complicated: in the future, pain, and life on the street is a deadly danger for her. It is impossible to repair the leg: there is no joint, no kneecap. What she feels is hard to even imagine. A specialist consultation is needed, but right now the main thing is recovery after spaying, vaccination and getting used to people. This cat desperately needs a chance for home warmth and care.

Ця киця пережила чимало випробувань… Місяцями вона не виходила з підвалу, доки не наважилася через гульки. Саме так її вдалося зловити для стерилізації, а заодно врятувати від небезпеки – у дворі, де вона жила, є стрілок, що відстрілює котів і птахів. Під час огляду лікар помітив щось незвичайне. Рентген показав старий зрослий перелом задньої лапи. У киці немає коліна – кістка зрослася неправильно, розійшовшись, наче рогатка. Чи це падіння з висоти, чи невдалий стрибок – ми не знаємо. Вона хромає назавжди. Ось чому вона боялася виходити з підвалу. Перспективи складні: у майбутньому, можливо, біль, а життя на вулиці для неї – смертельна небезпека. Ремонт лапи неможливий: немає суглоба, немає колінної чашечки. Що вона відчуває – важко навіть уявити. Потрібна консультація спеціаліста, але зараз головне – відновлення після стерилізації, вакцинація та звикання до людини. Цій киці вкрай потрібен шанс на домашнє тепло та турботу.

About Zhasmina (Жасміна)

What life with Zhasmina (Жасміна) looks like

Zhasmina (Жасміна) 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zhasmina (Жасміна), answered.

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