How do I contact the shelter about Elsa?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APAL Finikas (Kreta) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elsa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Elsa if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APAL Finikas (Kreta) 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 Elsa 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 Elsa 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 APAL Finikas (Kreta) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elsa 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.

Elsa

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Elsa is a friendly and lovable female dog who gets along well with other dogs and cats. She was born around May 2020, is about 50 cm tall and weighs around 16 kg. Unfortunately, Elsa had to have an eye removed. But that is only a small part of her story - and certainly not what makes this great dog. Elsa is currently waiting in Romania and we would like to give her the chance to travel to Germany soon. For this we are looking for a loving foster home - very much also with the option of adoption. A place where she can arrive in peace and get to know life in a family. And if "just a foster dog" eventually becomes "you stay with us", that would be even better. ❤️. Elsa is vaccinated, chipped and spayed and unfortunately had to have an eye removed. Do you want to meet Elsa or learn more?

🐾 Elsa sucht ein Zuhause 💚 Elsa kennenlernen ❤️ Elsa sucht ihre Chance Elsa ist eine freundliche und liebenswerte Hündin, die sich gut mit anderen Hunden und auch mit Katzen versteht. Sie wurde etwa im Mai 2020 geboren, ist ca. 50 cm groß und wiegt rund 16 kg. Leider musste Elsa ein Auge entfernt werden. Doch das ist nur ein kleiner Teil ihrer Geschichte – und ganz sicher nicht das, was diese tolle Hündin ausmacht. Elsa wartet aktuell noch in Rumänien und wir möchten ihr die Chance geben, bald nach Deutschland reisen zu können. Dafür suchen wir eine liebevolle Pflegestelle – sehr gerne auch mit Option auf Übernahme. Einen Ort, an dem sie in Ruhe ankommen und das Leben in einer Familie kennenlernen darf. Und wenn aus „erst einmal Pflegehund“ irgendwann „du bleibst bei uns“ wird, wäre das natürlich umso schöner. ❤️. Elsa ist geimpft, gechippt und kastriert und leider musste ein Auge entfernt werden.

About Elsa

What life with Elsa looks like

Elsa is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at APAL Finikas (Kreta) 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.
