Zhivchik (Живчик)

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

This 10-month-old puppy already knows what it's like to be cold, hungry and neglected. This gentle striped kitten ended up on the street, where instead of childhood he had to fight for survival. But Jivchik didn't give up - he approached people, asked for food and water, looked for warmth. That is how he ended up in the animal shelter, where he now fears the cage. The boy has been neutered, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, tested, and there are all documents. And another good news - he knows the litter box perfectly. But the kitten-child misses his home. He asks to be held, reaches out to people, asks for warmth, tenderness and a home that he so desperately wants. Jivchik is a green-eyed ball of goodness who really wants to become a pet and happy. He has already gone through too much. Maybe you can change his fate and give him a future that he deserves?

Живчику лише 10 місяців, а він уже знає, що таке вуличний холод, голод і байдужість. Цей ніжний полосатий котик опинився на вулиці, де замість дитинства мав боротися за виживання. Але Живчик не здався — підходив до людей, просив їсти і пити, шукав тепла. Так він і потрапив до притулку, де тепер боїться клітки. Хлопчика вже кастрували, вакцинували, обробили від бліх і глистів, зробили тести, є всі документи. І ще одна гарна новина — лоточок він знає на відмінно. Але кото-дитина сумує. Він проситься на ручки, тягнеться до людей, просить тепла, ніжності і дому, якого так прагне. Живчик — зеленоокий комочок добра, що дуже хоче стати домашнім і щасливим. Він уже пережив занадто багато. Можливо, саме ви зможете переписати його долю і подарувати йому майбутнє, на яке він заслуговує? ❤️

About Zhivchik (Живчик)

What life with Zhivchik (Живчик) looks like

Zhivchik (Живчик) 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 Zhivchik (Живчик), answered.

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