FLORIOS

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Meet Florios When Florios was rescued in Apeiranthos, we weren’t sure he would survive. He was nothing but skin and bones. He was so weak that he could barely eat because severe necrosis had destroyed much of the tissue in his mouth. His tiny body was overwhelmed by worms, and he had suffered from chronic diarrhoea for a very long time. Every day was a struggle just to stay alive. With intensive veterinary care, proper nutrition, medication, and endless patience from our volunteers, he slowly began to recover. Little by little, he gained weight, regained his strength, and transformed into a completely different cat. Looking at him today, it’s hard to believe he is the same fragile soul who arrived at our shelter. Sadly, Florios’ journey isn’t over. He has tested positive for both FIV and FeLV, which means his future is uncertain. Despite everything he has overcome, these illnesses make it much harder for him to find a forever home. Florios is a gentle, quiet boy. While he is social with the other cats in the FeLV room, he often seems a little overwhelmed. During his treatment, when he was recovering in his small crate, he discovered how comforting human affection could be and happily accepted cuddles from the volunteers caring for him. We dream of finding Florios a peaceful indoor home where he can finally feel safe, loved, and spend the rest of his life surrounded by kindness. Until that day comes, you can become Florios’ Virtual Adopter. Your monthly support helps provide his specialised veterinary care, nutritious food, medication, and the comfort he deserves. More importantly, it tells Florios that his life matters. By virtually adopting Florios, you’re giving hope to a cat who has already overcome so much—and helping him enjoy every precious day still to come. Medical condition Florios was born in 2022 and lives with FIV – Feline Immunodeficiency Virus – a slow acting species –specific virus that weakens a cat’s immune system, making them susceptible to infections and he also has FeLV – the Feline Leukemia Virus, a serious, contagious retrovirus that compromises her immune system. It often causes cancer, severe anemia, or secondary infections. By virtually adopting Florios, you become his special guardian and help ensure he can live safely and comfortably for the rest of his life. While Florios may never leave the shelter, your kindness gives him something incredibly important — security, care, and love. Become Florios’s virtual guardian today. As a virtual adopter, you will receive: A personalized virtual adoption certificate • Monthly photos and updates about Florios • The knowledge that you are changing his life

About FLORIOS

What life with FLORIOS looks like

FLORIOS is a very small 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 FLORIOS, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about FLORIOS?
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 FLORIOS on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt FLORIOS 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is FLORIOS 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 FLORIOS 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 FLORIOS 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.
