On June 9, 2026, Molly found her forever home! Her foster home became permanent because it was impossible to part with such a beautiful and clever girl.
Molly is Olive’s, Curry’s, Violet’s, Ganache’s, and Katerina’s sister. She was rescued from the same abandoned construction site as the others.
Like her brother Violet, Molly had dental problems and some teeth were removed. She was also found to have contact dermatitis from metal food bowls — problem solved by switching to ceramics. She has her first vaccination and all anti-parasite treatments; Molly was spayed on May 26, 2026.

Our affectionate little “tiny engine” Blue Whiskers went to his new home in May 2026. His sister Malina was already waiting for him there — she had moved from Yerevan to her new home a little earlier. By the second day, the kittens had already started recognizing each other again and were even eating side by side.
More ...
After almost a year of waiting, Lavash finally found his home in April 2026! This energetic, mischievous, and independent boy constantly created meme-worthy situations while living in foster care. Now he continues doing exactly the same thing — just in his own home. And we regularly receive photo reports of his adventures (and honestly, we are constantly both embarrassed and laughing)

On April 1, 2026, Yoda became a family cat. The miracle happened twice: her sister Ryba found her home at the same time, but in a different family. Yoda and Ryba were rescued from a construction site as tiny kittens and spent almost two years in foster care, but both of them finally found their homes and became beloved, cozy house cats.
More ...
Miracles like this are rare, but exactly one day before her sister Yoda left for her home, Ryba went to a home of her own too. On March 31, 2026, Ryba became a family cat. Now she works as the younger household little monster, while trying not to offend her older cat brother.

Syrnik was never returned to us — and these are our favorite kinds of updates :) She was staying with a wonderful foster family who had previously helped us with post-surgery care for another cat. Then Syrnik came to stay with them — and very soon, a deep bond formed. It became clear that this was a perfect match, and no one even considered separating them.

Gata is home! It’s an incredible family reunion — she now lives with Purry, who is (most likely) her father and also one of our graduates. Gata calmly accepts Purry’s very active care — and recently even gave in and let him groom her. She turned out to be an incredibly gentle and affectionate girl. We’re receiving updates from her new home and are very happy for both of them.
More ...
The best gift our Purri received for the New Year was his family. In the very first days of 2026, he became a home cat. Everything is now behind him — the street, hunger, pain, and fear. There was far too much of that in his past. Ahead of him is only a life full of love, a view of Mount Ararat from his own windowsill, and “mandatory” cuddles with his daughter — also our graduate, named Gata (yes, she is Syrnik’s mom — this is a truly happy family story).

This cat has three names — Vagr / Romeo / Mars — because his story is truly remarkable.
In spring 2023, many cats lived in the yard of one of our volunteers (most of them later passed through the Kotoprovod project — some found homes, others were sterilized and returned). A very affectionate young male was named Vagr (which means “Tiger” in Armenian). He was easy to catch, was sterilized at the clinic, and then released back. Soon after, Vagr disappeared. It was very sad.

In August 2025, Tarakashkin found his loving home, a new brother (also one of our graduates!) named Keks, and a new name — he is now called Belyash. But his journey to this point was long.
Four kittens were born in one yard, but soon only three remained — this is the harsh reality of street life. As soon as they began to come out of their basement shelter, their mother disappeared. The three tiny kittens were left alone. They loved people — whenever someone called them, all three would rush forward at once, getting underfoot and stepping on each other’s paws. It was easy to accidentally step on them in the chaos. That’s how they got their nickname: “little cockroaches” (Tarakashki).

In July 2025, Strudel’s temporary home became her permanent one. By then, no one could bring themselves to separate her from her new older brother — a ginger troublemaker named Lucifer.
Now the two of them have formed a little gang and get into all kinds of mischief. Once, they even managed to break into a locked cabinet to steal a bag of cat food!

In July 2025, Pashtet set off on a long journey to his new home — and now he is living his best life. But his story is a difficult one. You can read it below.
We found Pashtet in July 2024. He was in terrible condition: a very large cat, but extremely emaciated — his ribs were visible through his fur. His jaw shifted unnaturally when he tried to eat. We decided to catch him and take him to the clinic. He behaved very aggressively, which is often a sign of severe pain. He would not let people come near, so we had to use a humane trap.

Martha lived on the grounds watched over by the administration of the venue where we often hold popular science lectures and festivals to raise funds for Kotoprovod. This place is connected with many other cats who came under our care: Sprat, the unnamed festival cat, and Keks.
Letters and Numbers themselves care for many cats, treating and sterilizing them. We actively help each other with cat-related matters. That is what happened when Martha became ill. She developed constant, severe diarrhea and needed medical care and an indoor foster home. At that point, we took over her care and added her to Kotoprovod’s list of cats.

Pusya was taken from the street by other people, who asked our foster home to take her in under their guarantee that they would cover her care. But just a week later they stopped paying for Pusya and stopped replying to messages.
We took Pusya-Prosecco under our care, spayed her, and vaccinated her. Soon Pusya found a home and regularly sent us greetings.

Beautiful Plushka went to her new home in March 2025. She regularly sends us updates, has already set her own rules in the household, and has become the true heart of her home and family. You can read her full story below.
Why is she so special? Here’s her story:
More ...
We found her when she was still a kitten, about 7 months old. It happened by chance — and in a way, she found us, not the other way around. We had come to catch a different cat who was hiding. We were calling for him, but instead, she came out — a small black kitten. She stretched forward her badly injured paw.

In August 2024, Potato moved to his new home together with his foster brother and fellow Kotoprovod graduate, Snacker. Potato and Snacker quickly settled in with their new family, which already included a cat and an elderly dog. They all live together peacefully and regularly send us greetings.
Here is Potato’s story. This tiny, emaciated kitten with rickets was found beside a road in Dilijan. Dogs were nearby, so he could not be left there, and his mother was nowhere to be seen. He was very small, with extremely thin legs that could barely support his little body, swollen and round from worms.
More ...
Snacker was adopted together with his best friend Potato into the same family!
His story, however, is a very hard one. In September 2023, a cat with a torn-open side appeared under our volunteer’s windows, in an inner garden that could not be accessed directly from the house. The wound looked terrible. They managed to lure him to the window with food, and that was how they caught him.
More ...
In July 2024, Jam flew to his family! We are so happy for this ginger boy.
Here is his story. During the coldest days of February, someone abandoned a tiny kitten at the feeding spot for street cats in our volunteer’s yard. The kitten was terrified of everything. For many days he bolted away from people, and we could not even get a proper look at him.
More ...
In September 2023, two black kittens were abandoned at a street-cat feeding spot in our volunteer’s yard. One looked healthy; the other was in terrible condition, with eyes sealed shut by a herpesvirus infection and barely able to see the world.
A caring neighbor who also fed the cats there took the apparently healthy kitten to find it a home. She succeeded, although we do not know what happened to that kitten afterward. The “blind” kitten remained in our care.
More ...
In April 2024, the tiniest little sister found her forever home!
Shawarma was the weakest of the three basement kittens. Her brother, our graduate Tarakashkin, and her sister, our graduate Bitcoin, were braver and more active. When she was still tiny, Shawarma went through an acute infection that almost cost her the sight in one eye.
More ...
Our magnificent king, Tigran the Great, is now living his happiest life. He moved into his home in March 2024 and has already changed countries together with his owner. Tigran regularly sends us greetings and stories about his royal mischief.
But the story behind him is far from easy. In a cold April of 2023, we met a huge but very thin cat. He was staying in a place where other street cats lived, but he clearly did not belong there. The people who fed the cats told us that the ginger cat had appeared recently and had absolutely no idea how to survive outside.
More ...
In February 2024, Bitcoin found her home in the same place where she had been staying temporarily after her spay surgery. We are so happy for her!
Bitcoin is Shawarma’s and Tarakashkin’s sister. In our volunteer’s yard, a cat gave birth to four kittens and hid them in the basement. When the kittens grew older and started climbing out through the basement windows, their mother disappeared. The fourth kitten disappeared at around the same time and most likely died.
More ...
Another one-month-old kitten rescued from Dilijan, with a belly full of worms and rickety little legs. At first we were terribly worried about her and whether her body would be able to pull through.
But Busya made it. She started growing and developing into a wonderful, funny little girl.
On October 19, 2023, Busya found her home. She moved in to work as a little sister for a dog, and she still sends us greetings and videos showing how well the two of them get along.
More ...
Tilda’s foster home became her forever home in September 2023!
We found this tiny kitten emaciated and dying from panleukopenia. Someone had abandoned her outside a clinic and left — that was where our volunteer literally stumbled upon her. The vets gave her very little chance of survival, but they did not yet know Tilda’s character!
More ...
Chipmunk flew home in the summer of 2023. Since then, she has been constantly appearing on social media, bossing her humans around and demanding that they throw her ball so she can proudly carry it back in her teeth like a dog. We are so happy for her! And here is her story.
More ...
Seva fell asleep forever in my arms at the clinic on March 27, 2025.
For a year and a half she was a happy house panther. For a year and a half we fought for her life every day. A year and a half instead of the couple of months the doctors had promised her.
More ...
The little apricot-colored baby — the name Tsiran means “apricot” in Armenian — was abandoned outside our volunteer’s door when he was still tiny. He could not yet eat or even go to the toilet on his own. His fur, eyes, and nose were perfectly clean, which could only mean that he had been born to a house cat. Most likely, someone took him to play with and then threw him out.
More ...
On February 27, 2023, little Potato was found on the border between Georgia and Armenia. She was completely exhausted and had a severe worm infestation.
After all infectious disease tests were done, Potato was moved to a foster home, and adoption posts were shared in all local groups.
On May 6, 2023, Potato was adopted by a family in the same village where her foster home was located.

In September 2022, Leia found her home!
In May 2022, people noticed an exhausted adult dog limping on one paw. The plan was simple: catch her, treat the injury, sterilize her, and release her back. But she skillfully avoided every attempt to catch her. She would only approach food after people moved far away.

In July 2022, Luke found his home!
In May 2022, people noticed an exhausted adult dog limping on one paw. The plan was to catch her, treat the injury, sterilize her, and release her back. But she skillfully avoided every attempt to catch her. She would only approach food after people moved a safe distance away.

During the warm days of December 2025, Cheesecake was returned to the yard where she had originally been rescued from. She is now sterilized and vaccinated, which will make her life — even on the street — safer and easier. We regularly visit her at the release site, and she is doing quite well. She has gained weight and looks healthy and strong.

Marti passed away on September 25, 2025. For more than a month, we and the doctors fought for his life. He even received a blood transfusion, with our Mars as the donor. But nothing helped: his organs failed one after another. A postmortem examination confirmed the diagnosis of FIP.
Martini (white-and-ginger) is a boy, his age is still unclear. Blood tests and an ultrasound were done, but there’s still no clarity about the diagnosis. There are several hypotheses, each worse than the other. Facts: the pancreas, kidneys, and liver are deformed, their structures are impaired. Blood results suggest possible problems with blood formation. The least of his troubles is an old pelvic injury that makes it difficult for him to move. He is likely in pain.

Olive is Violet’s, Molly’s, Ganache’s, Curry’s, and Katerina’s sister. Like the others, she was rescued from the same abandoned construction site where our volunteers carry out trapping and sterilization.
Olive has all her vaccinations and anti-parasite treatments; she was spayed in April 2026. During the surgery we found an early pregnancy — thankfully, we were in time. Her health is great now and she uses the litter box perfectly.
More ...
An endlessly affectionate and gentle cat. He loves sitting in your arms, lying on you, and making “kneading” motions with his paws. He sleeps in bed with people, uses the litter box perfectly, and enjoys playing with toys.
Pumpkin is a fairly mature cat — and cats usually don’t live that long on the street. We later learned that he had once been almost a house cat, living at a hotel. But one day the hotel closed, and the people who cared for him disappeared. Pumpkin was left completely alone on the street.
More ...
Violet (nicknamed Filya) is Curry’s, Olive’s, Ganache’s, Molly’s, and Katerina’s brother. Like the others, he was rescued from the same abandoned construction site where our volunteers carry out trapping and sterilization.
He was the first of his crew to come off the street — because of a persistent cough. The cough has been treated, and during his examination we also found dental problems: some teeth had to be removed. His gums still flare up occasionally and we treat them with metrogil. Otherwise he is in great health and is going to grow into an enormous fluffy guy. He is neutered, vaccinated, has all anti-parasite treatments, and also has a passport and microchip. Litter box use is perfect.
More ...
A young, affectionate, and sociable cat. Manka, this name means “semolina” from Russian. She actively seeks contact with people and gets along well with other cats. She loves being petted and scratched. She doesn’t like carriers and may protest, but she calms down if you gently scratch behind her ears.
More ...
Licorice seems to be a very shy and anxious young cat. She is not used to living indoors and is still trying to hide. We believe she just needs time to feel safe and come out of her shell.
She has already been sterilized and treated for fleas and ticks. The next important step is her dental care. Like many cats who lived on the street, she has inflamed gums and loose teeth due to infections and poor nutrition. Once she recovers from sterilization, she will undergo dental surgery, followed by vaccination.

Looking for a travel buddy
Curry is a delicate and graceful little cat. She was rescued during severe January cold from the same abandoned construction site where several of her relatives were also found and brought into the Kotoprovod project. Our volunteers are working to catch all cats there that can reproduce, sterilize and vaccinate them, and return those who can safely survive on the street.

Hasya is a young Siberian husky. She came to us with a purulent bite wound on her paw, but she is now completely healthy: her paw has long since healed, and Hasya is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and has a passport plus a rabies antibody titer certificate with the required waiting period completed. Her documents are fully ready for adoption to any country.
More ...
Ganache is a young and very affectionate cat who absolutely loves people. He is calm, purrs a lot, and makes funny little squeaky sounds — we even thought about naming him “Chick” because of it.
At every foster home, he comes out of the carrier right away and starts exploring with curiosity. Nothing seems to scare him — even when there were five dogs in nearby rooms at his first foster home, and later four people and another cat at the next one. In his current foster home, he is already building trust with an older cat and shows no aggression at all.

Ever wanted a personal black panther? Then Nick is the cat for you! This elegant Bagheera is young, smart, and very polite. Both playful and calm, he’s mostly silent but loves to spend time with people (though you will hear him chirp softly when he’s hungry). He won’t sit in your lap, no, that’s not Nick, Nick is a serious cat. However, he will be glued to your thigh or back looking at you with a wicked green eye telepathically demanding pets. He curls into a croissant shape when he sleeps, and he loves dogs! Both small and larger dogs, he treats as siblings and invites them to play.

You sit down, and suddenly a cat appears in your lap. That’s Oreo, and he will be demanding your attention today with all the cuteness he can muster. He will pull the most pleading faces and strike adorable poses, he will headbutt you - anything to get you to please just love him, and make him your favorite cat! He wanted to be the cutest cutie-pie so much, he even adjusted his ear while still being in his mama’s womb. What dedication! Oreo loves to play with all the cat toys he sees, and he especially adores fishing-rod-type toys.

Fedya lives in Siberia, in the city of Kemerovo. One very cold winter night in 2020, he appeared on the street. He followed people, looking for attention and warmth. He is a very large dog, and people were often afraid of him. For his safety, we took him in and placed him in temporary care, where he has now been living for several years. We still hope to find him a permanent home.

In autumn 2022, Twiggy — already sterilized and vaccinated — escaped from foster care before her planned release. An independent lady simply decided not to wait for permission. For many months we continued following her story from a distance. She never again allowed us to come close, but we understood that she was safe — at least as safe as street life can be. Eventually, we decided to leave her in peace.

Speckles died because of the irresponsibility, cruelty, and selfishness of her owners. Her death became a huge and terrible lesson for us.
I, Anya, a Kotoprovod volunteer, bear personal responsibility for trusting those people with her. I should not have done it. I thought I was doing what was best for the cat, giving her a home instead of leaving her on the street. That was not true, and later I understood it. But by then it was already too late.

In April 2024, Shipizdyachka (Shipa) was vaccinated, sterilized, and returned to the place where she had been rescued after completing her post-surgery foster care. For a long time afterward, we were still able to visit her and check how she was doing. We stopped seeing Shipa by the winter of 2024.

Chita was returned to her elderly owner on July 24, 2024. Her owner could not afford to pay for spaying, but she was very glad that we took care of it. Chita is doing well now: our volunteer still sometimes sees her in the yard.
But Chita’s story is quite terrible. Please do not read further if you are in a vulnerable state right now.

In the summer of 2024, Pes showed up near our volunteer’s home — the same place where our Hasya and a dog named Ula would later appear. Ula found a home without our help. Our volunteer fed Pes and Ula, and in July 2024 both dogs were neutered/spayed and vaccinated.
Then both of them suddenly disappeared. We suspect that neighbors who were afraid of dogs took them and dumped them outside the city. But Ula and Pes found their way back. They had clearly been walking for many days: their paws were torn and infected because dangerous foxtail grass seeds had lodged inside them. They were in a lot of pain. The dogs were urgently taken to the clinic, and a long process of treatment and recovery began.

The little one lived for only 3 days. We and our doctors fought for him until the very end, but we lost.
He was born to a very young cat who came to give birth under our volunteer’s window. In pain and fear, the cat ran away the moment the kitten came out. He was not breathing, and the umbilical cord was still attached. Our volunteer contacted a doctor by video call and, under the doctor’s guidance, performed CPR. The baby began to breathe, cry, and come back to life. Still guided remotely by the doctor, the umbilical cord was removed, and the kitten was taken to the clinic.

We found this cat in a terrible condition while preparing the venue for the Science and Cats festival. To raise funds for Kotoprovod, we organize popular science lectures and festivals.
On October 14, 2023, we had been preparing the Science and Cats festival since early morning. At one point, a cat came into the courtyard of our partners, Letters and Numbers, where the festival was taking place. He was acting strangely: he could barely stand, his eyes were unfocused, and he had great difficulty getting up and reacting to anything.

Sprat’s story began on October 14, 2023, while we were preparing for the Science and Cats festival. To raise funds for Kotoprovod, we organize popular science lectures and festivals, and that morning we were setting up the venue in the courtyard of our partners, Letters and Numbers.
First, another cat came into the courtyard in a terrible condition: he could barely stand, his eyes were unfocused, and he had great difficulty getting up and reacting to anything. We rushed him to a clinic.

On April 16, 2025, our volunteers caught a cat in the yards at the very end of her pregnancy. She was urgently taken to the clinic to be spayed.
During the surgery, something almost impossible happened: one of the removed fetuses began to show signs of life. The spay went according to plan — but not quite as expected. Charlotte returned from the operating room to her recovery box not alone. That is how a tiny kitten came to us, and we named her Strudel.

In August 2023, Kot was returned to the place where he had been caught. On June 29, 2023, our volunteer was passing by the spot where she sometimes fed him. Usually affectionate and sociable, he was acting strangely that day: sitting curled up, not moving, and not reacting. When she came closer, she saw a swollen, already burst purulent wound on his neck. It looked like a bite from another animal that had been festering for a long time before it ruptured. Pus was running down his neck. Kot was urgently taken to the clinic, and a surgeon was called in.
