Ella

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Ella is a sweet little girl who was born inside an abandoned shop, together with her two siblings. Her mother, trying to protect her babies from the dangers of the streets, chose a place she believed would keep them safe. The kittens grew up there, hiding in cracks and little gaps, with very little contact with people. As time went by, we realized that we could no longer leave them there. So we brought them into our home, hoping to give them a second chance at life and find each of them a loving forever family. At first, Ella was very scared. She had never learned to trust people, and whenever someone tried to approach her, she would hide. But with patience, love, and a safe environment, she slowly began to discover that human hands can bring something wonderful too — gentle touches, cuddles, and love. Ella is still a little shy but she is making progress every day. And there is one thing that can make her forget her shyness completely: wet food! She absolutely loves it and goes crazy for a tasty meal. In her new home, Ella will probably need some time to adjust. She may be shy at first, but with patience, understanding, and lots of love, we are sure that she will gradually come out of her shell and blossom into the sweet and affectionate companion she is meant to be. Ella doesn't just need a house. She needs someone who will give her the time and patience she needs to learn to trust, to love, and finally feel safe. If you think you could be the person to give Ella the loving forever home she deserves, please get in touch with us. Ella is waiting for her chance to discover what it means to be loved, preferably with a bowl of wet food nearby!

About Ella

What life with Ella looks like

Ella is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Fairy Tails Animal Rescue Organisation in Greece.

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 Ella, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ella?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fairy Tails Animal Rescue Organisation handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ella on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ella if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fairy Tails Animal Rescue Organisation 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 Ella 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 Ella 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 Fairy Tails Animal Rescue Organisation early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ella 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
