Zironka (Зіронька)

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten

She was brought from the war. Little Zironka. Four months old, she was born. Still a very small kitten. Instead of a mother - explosions. Instead of home - the road. Instead of warmth - a tight cage. They took her out because there she would not survive. She is reaching out to people. Presses her nose to fingers. Climbs onto hands. Freezes when she is petted - as if afraid that it will end. She is very gentle. Very tactile. One of the kittens that fall asleep on palms. Already spayed. Clean. Perfectly uses the litter box. A golden kitten baby. No problems. No "but". The only "but" - she is still in the cage. At this age, kittens should run around the house, fall with funny paws, chase toys ... But she just sits in the dark and waits. Waits until someone finally becomes her person. Please ... Don't let her grow up in the cage. Take her home while she still believes that the world can be kind. Give her childhood. And she will give you all her little kitten heart.

Її привезли з війни. Маленьку Зіроньку. Чотири місяці, як з’явилася на світ. Ще зовсім мала кото-дитина. Ще зовсім кошеня. Замість мами — вибухи. Замість дому — дорога. Замість тепла — тісна клітка. Її вивезли, бо там вона б не вижила. Вона тягнеться до людей. Тулиться носиком до пальців. Лізе на руки. Завмирає, коли її гладять — ніби боїться, що це закінчиться. Вона дуже ніжна. Дуже тактильна. З тих кошенят, які засинають на долонях. Вже стерилізована. Охайна. Ідеально ходить на лоточок. Золота кото-малявочка. Без проблем. Без «але». Єдине «але» — вона досі в клітці. У такому віці кошенята мають бігати по дому, падати зі смішних лапок, ганяти іграшки… А вона просто сидить у темряві і чекає. Чекає, коли хтось нарешті стане її людиною. Будь ласка…Не дайте їй дорослішати в клітці. Заберіть її додому, поки вона ще вірить, що світ може бути добрим. Подаруйте їй дитинство. І вона віддасть вам усе своє маленьке кото-серденько.

About Zironka (Зіронька)

What life with Zironka (Зіронька) looks like

Zironka (Зіронька) is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Happy Paw Kyiv in Ukraine.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇺🇦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 Zironka (Зіронька), answered.

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