How do I contact the shelter about Filou?

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 Filou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Filou 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 Filou 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 Filou 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 Filou 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.

Filou

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Filou is a small charming male with a need for cuddles. He comes from Romania and has been with us since September 12, 2026. The young male is a people-oriented, friendly, and lively companion. He seeks closeness to his humans, loves to cuddle, plays enthusiastically, and is very eager to learn. He also likes to give kisses - and a chew toy can make him very happy. In some situations, Filou is still uncertain. Very loud or stormy dogs initially frighten him, and he is also not yet comfortable with walks in the dark. However, if he gets some time and security, he will warm up and quickly show his playful and affectionate side. We wish for Filou a loving home with people who enjoy guiding a young dog and giving him the security he still needs. Children are welcome in the new home. Cats are no problem for Filou. He is also compatible with other dogs, but very loud or stormy fellow dogs can initially unsettle him. Filou is neutered, fully vaccinated, and in very good health. Could Filou be the right fit for you? More information and contact: Marion Kostarellis. You can also contact Marion via WhatsApp.

🐾 Filou sucht ein Zuhause 💚 Filou -kleiner Charmeur mit Kuschelbedarf Filou kommt ursprünglich aus Rumänien und ist seit dem 12.09.2026 bei uns. Der junge Rüde zeigt sich als menschenbezogener, freundlicher und lebensfroher Begleiter. Er sucht die Nähe zu seinen Menschen, kuschelt gerne, spielt begeistert und ist sehr lernfreudig. Auch Küsschen verteilt er gerne – und mit einem Kauknoten kann man ihm ebenfalls eine große Freude machen. In manchen Situationen ist Filou noch unsicher. Sehr laute oder stürmische Hunde machen ihm zunächst Angst und auch Spaziergänge im Dunkeln sind ihm noch nicht ganz geheuer. Bekommt er etwas Zeit und Sicherheit, taut er jedoch auf und zeigt schnell seine verspielte und anhängliche Seite. Für Filou wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die Freude daran haben, einen jungen Hund weiter anzuleiten und ihm dort Sicherheit zu geben, wo er sie noch braucht. Kinder dürfen gerne im neuen Zuhause leben. Auch Katzen sind für Filou kein Problem. Mit anderen Hunden ist er ebenfalls verträglich, sehr laute oder stürmische Artgenossen können ihn anfangs allerdings verunsichern. Filou ist kastriert, vollständig geimpft und befindet sich in einem sehr guten Allgemeinzustand. Könnte Filou zu dir passen?

About Filou

What life with Filou looks like

Filou is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at APAL Finikas (Kreta) in Greece.

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 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.
