Katinka

Mixed Breed · Female

Katinka is looking for a home 💚 Meet Katinka Katinka - a little lady with a big heart is looking for people to come to her ❤️ Katinka sometimes needs a little time to open her heart. But whoever gives her this time will soon learn a different side of her: a cheerful, playful and a bit mischievous little dog. Katinka is a lovable little dog who can be a bit reserved with strangers and in new situations. She wants to see who is standing in front of her and if she can trust them. Once Katinka has taken this first hurdle and feels safe, she melts more and more and shows her cheerful personality. ❤️ Then her little mischief also comes to light. When Katinka wants attention, she is currently trying to demand it, for example, by jumping up or a cheeky nip. 😉 These are small issues that can certainly be worked on with loving consistency and clear rules. 🐕 A four-legged friend would be especially nice for Katinka Katinka is compatible with other dogs and gets along with cats in principle. She shows no food jealousy and behaves socially in coexistence. For her future home, we could imagine a friendly and confident first dog especially well. Katinka could orientate herself on him, gain security and learn a lot from him in new situations. However, the little lady brings a bit of a hunting instinct with her. If a cat suddenly runs off, for example, it can happen that Katinka follows her movement and runs after her. According to previous observations, she shows no intention of doing anything to the cat - but of course, her future people should keep an eye on this instinct. 🎾 Clever head with a desire for joint learning Katinka already listens quite well and shows that she enjoys joint activities.

🐾 Katinka sucht ein Zuhause 💚 Katinka kennenlernen Katinka – kleine Herzensdame sucht Menschen zum Ankommen ❤️ Katinka braucht manchmal einen kleinen Moment, um ihr Herz zu öffnen. Doch wer ihr diese Zeit schenkt, lernt schon bald eine ganz andere Seite von ihr kennen: eine fröhliche, verspielte und durchaus auch ein bisschen freche kleine Hündin. Katinka ist eine liebenswerte kleine Hündin, die bei unbekannten Menschen und in neuen Situationen zunächst etwas zurückhaltend sein kann. Sie möchte erst einmal schauen, wer da vor ihr steht und ob sie vertrauen kann. Hat Katinka diese erste Hürde genommen und fühlt sich sicher, taut sie immer mehr auf und zeigt ihre fröhliche Persönlichkeit. ❤️ Dann kommt durchaus auch ihr kleiner Schalk zum Vorschein. Wenn Katinka Aufmerksamkeit möchte, versucht sie momentan beispielsweise schon einmal, diese durch Anspringen oder ein freches Zwicken einzufordern. 😉 Das sind kleine Themen, an denen mit liebevoller Konsequenz und klaren Regeln sicherlich gut gearbeitet werden kann. 🐕 Ein vierbeiniger Freund wäre für Katinka besonders schön Mit anderen Hunden ist Katinka verträglich und auch mit Katzen kommt sie grundsätzlich gut zurecht. Sie zeigt keinen Futterneid und verhält sich im Zusammenleben sozial. Für ihr zukünftiges Zuhause könnten wir uns einen freundlichen und souveränen Ersthund besonders gut vorstellen. An ihm könnte Katinka sich orientieren, Sicherheit gewinnen und sich gerade in neuen Situationen vieles abschauen. Ein wenig Jagdtrieb bringt die kleine Dame allerdings mit. Rennt beispielsweise eine Katze plötzlich los, kann es passieren, dass Katinka ihrem Bewegungsreiz folgt und hinterherläuft. Dabei zeigt sie nach bisherigen Beobachtungen keine Absicht, der Katze etwas zu tun – trotzdem sollten ihre zukünftigen Menschen diesen Instinkt natürlich im Blick behalten. 🎾 Cleveres Köpfchen mit Lust aufs gemeinsame Lernen Katinka hört bereits ziemlich gut und zeigt, dass sie Freude an gemeinsamer Beschäftigung hat.

About Katinka

What life with Katinka looks like

Katinka 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Katinka, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Katinka?
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 Katinka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Katinka 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 Katinka 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 Katinka 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 Katinka 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.
