DENIA

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Meet Denia Denia was born March 2025 and came into our care in July of the same year. She was found in the main town of Naxos (Chora) with a severe eye infection and consequently lost her sight in that eye. She is very sweet but extremely shy and hides when we come into the room – but she is playful and happy with other cats. Medical condition Denia lives with FeLV – the Feline Leukemia Virus, a serious, contagious retrovirus that compromises her immune system. It often causes cancer, severe anemia, or secondary infections. While not curable, many cats can live with a good quality of life for months to years with specialized, indoor-only, and stress-free care. Because of this chronic illness Denia cannot be adopted into a typical home and will remain at our shelter, where we ensure she receives lifelong care, safety, and comfort. By virtually adopting Denia, you become her special guardian and help ensure she can live safely and comfortably for the rest of her life. While Denia may never leave the shelter, your kindness gives her something incredibly important — security, care, and love. Become Denia’s virtual guardian today. As a virtual adopter, you will receive: A personalized virtual adoption certificate • Monthly photos and updates about Denia • The knowledge that you are changing her life

About DENIA

What life with DENIA looks like

DENIA is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Naxos Animal Welfare Society (NAWS) in Naxos.

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 Greece

Greek shelters often partner with Northern European rescue groups for placements. Animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and chipped before adoption. Fees vary widely depending on whether the shelter is municipal or NGO-run.

Frequently asked

Adopting DENIA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about DENIA?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Naxos Animal Welfare Society (NAWS) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw DENIA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt DENIA if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Naxos Animal Welfare Society (NAWS) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is DENIA 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 DENIA 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 Naxos Animal Welfare Society (NAWS) early rather than rehoming privately; they know DENIA 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
