COSTAS

Male · Kitten

Costas has been sponsored by "Hausdrachen" from the green cat forum (www.das-katzen-forum.de) since September 2026. The sponsorship was transferred by Tomcat Aris. Aris traveled to Germany in April 2026 and found his forever home on July 23, 2026, as you can read on his page. Costas was found in mid-June 2026 by our animal welfare friends H. & I. on a beach near a hotel on the island with a bad eye and was taken to the vet. Unfortunately, the eye could not be saved. During this operation, he was also neutered. At the end of July 2026, he was taken to the vet again because the eye needed to be retreated and a tooth had to be pulled. In the meantime, he lives again on his beach and has become something of a mascot for the tourists. Our friends H. & I. also stop by from time to time, as they also take care of cats in the area.

Für Costas hat ab September 2026 „Hausdrachen“ aus dem grünen Katzenforum ( www.das-katzen-forum.de ) eine Dauerpatenschaft übernommen. Die Dauerpatenschaft wurde von Kater Aris übertragen. Aris reiste im April 2026 nach Deutschland aus und fand am 23. Juli 2026 sein Für-Immer-Zuhause, wie Ihr auf seiner Seite nachlesen könnt. Costas wurde Mitte Juni 2026 von unseren Tierschutzfreundinnen H. & I. an seinem Platz, einem Badestrand der Insel nahe eines Hotels, mit einem schlimmen Auge aufgefunden und zur Tierärztin gebracht. Das Auge konnte leider nicht mehr gerettet werden. Während dieser Operation wurde er auch gleich kastriert. Ende Juli 2026 wurde er noch einmal zur Tierärztin gebracht, da das Auge nachbehandelt und ihm außerdem ein Zahn gezogen werden musste. Inzwischen lebt er aber wieder an seinem Strand und ist so etwas wie das Maskottchen der Touristen geworden. Unsere Freundinnen H. & I. schauen auch immer mal wieder vorbei, da sie dort in der Gegend ebenfalls Katzen versorgen. Diese Seite kann auch in sozialen Medien geteilt werden:

About COSTAS

What life with COSTAS looks like

COSTAS is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Cats at Andros e.V. in Germany.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting COSTAS, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about COSTAS?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Cats at Andros e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw COSTAS on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt COSTAS if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Cats at Andros e.V. 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 COSTAS 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 COSTAS 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 Cats at Andros e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know COSTAS 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 (DE). 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.
