Foivos

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

The white-and-grey Foivos did manage, as a young kitten, to find a way into an abandoned shop, but he could no longer find his way out. When he began crying bitterly after a few days, a animal-loving neighbour fortunately heard him and freed him from this hopeless situation. Since then, the friendly and reserved tomcat has been living in a foster home in Athens. We simply cannot understand why he still hasn't found a proper home, even after two years. For after some initial shyness, Foivos quickly shows a very loving, tender and affectionate nature. He likes nothing better than staying close to his people, and he also enjoys sleeping in bed with them at night. The dear tomcat is always up for a game. Foivos gets along well with other cats, but he is afraid of adult male cats. That is why we are looking for a home for him without any existing tomcats, or as a single cat. Foivos would, however, most like to bring along his girlfriend Queenie. Foivos is a purely indoor cat. Windows and, if applicable, the balcony must be cat-proofed in his new home. The velvet paw will move into his new home dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. His FIV and FeLV rapid test was negative. Possible at cost price of 180 euros (including transport box).

Der weiß-graue Foivos schaffte es zwar, als junges Kätzchen einen Weg in ein verlassenes Geschäft zu finden – doch heraus fand er nicht mehr. Als er nach einigen Tagen anfing, bitterlich zu weinen, hörte ihn zum Glück ein tierlieber Nachbar und befreite ihn aus dieser aussichtslosen Situation. Seitdem lebt der freundliche und zurückhaltende Kater in einer Pflegestelle in Athen Wir können es gar nicht verstehen, warum er auch nach zwei Jahren immer noch kein richtiges Zuhause gefunden hat. Denn nach einer anfänglichen Schüchternheit zeigt Foivos schnell ein sehr liebevolles, zärtliches und anhängliches Wesen. Am liebsten hält er sich immer in der Nähe seiner Menschen auf und schläft auch nachts gern mit im Bett. Für ein Spiel ist der liebe Kater auch immer zu haben. Foivos versteht sich gut mit anderen Katzen, hat aber Angst vor erwachsenen Katern. Deswegen suchen wir für ihn ein Zuhause ohne vorhandene Kater oder als Einzelkatze. Am liebsten würde Foivos allerdings seine Freundin Queenie mitbringen. Foivos ist eine reine Wohnungskatze. Fenster und ggf. Balkon müssen in seinem neuen Zuhause katzensicher vernetzt sein. Die Samtpfote zieht entwurmt, geimpft, gechipt und kastriert in sein neues Zuhause. Sein FIV und FeLV Schnelltest war negativ. möglich zum Selbstkostenpreis 180 Euro (inklusive Transportbox) Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. ©

About Foivos

What life with Foivos looks like

Foivos is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. in Hamburg.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Foivos, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Foivos?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Foivos on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Foivos if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. 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 Foivos 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 Foivos 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 Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Foivos 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.
