How do I contact the shelter about Zinaida (Зинаида)?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Старый Кот (Old Cat) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zinaida (Зинаида) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Zinaida (Зинаида) if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Старый Кот (Old Cat) 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 Zinaida (Зинаида) 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 Zinaida (Зинаида) 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 Старый Кот (Old Cat) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zinaida (Зинаида) 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 (RU). 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.

Zinaida (Зинаида)

Mixed Breed · Female

Zina's first winter nearly ended in disaster: this fragile little one, vainly trying to warm up, climbed under the hood of a bulldozer. The terrible iron "beast" almost killed little Zina, leaving terrible wounds on her body and, most importantly, on her trusting heart. We tried for a long time to return Zina not only to a full life, but also to the joy of it! The joy of interacting with people and fellow animals, the joy of playing, the joy of every day... And we finally managed to do it. Yes, our plump Zina-basket (as our staff lovingly and playfully call her) is still a bit scared (and who wouldn't be, after such an ordeal!), but she is already wholeheartedly drawn to a new life, in which there will definitely be cat friends (Zina adores them!), a cozy home where warmth doesn't need to be obtained at the risk of one's own life, and a loved one who will no longer allow her to suffer!

Первая зима в жизни Зины едва не закончилась катастрофой: эта хрупкая малышка, тщетно пытаясь согреться, забралась под капот бульдозера. Страшный железный “зверь” чуть не убил маленькую Зину, оставив страшные раны на ее теле и, главное, на ее доверчивом сердечке.Мы долго пытались вернуть Зине не только полноценную жизнь, но и радость от нее! Радость общения с людьми и сородичами, радость от игр, радость от каждого дня… И нам это наконец удалось.Да, нашей кругленькой Зине-корзине (так ее, любя и шутливо, называют наши сотрудники) еще немного боязно (а кто бы не боялся, попав в такую передрягу!), но она уже всей душой тянется к новой жизни, в которой обязательно будут друзья-коты (Зина их обожает!), уютный дом, где тепло не нужно будет добывать с риском для собственной жизни, и любимый человек, который больше не позволит ей страдать!Звоните:
