Lakis

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Lakis was found outside a cat lady's house in the summer of 2019. He was left there with his brothers, sisters, and mother. The volunteer took the family in because she knew they wouldn't be able to survive on the streets. Lakis's mother had done very well with her kittens. She had protected her kittens and they were all very friendly to people. They were also very clean and healthy. Lakis is an energetic boy full of energy. Lakis runs around the foster home all day. Lakis can sometimes be very dominant towards the other cats in the foster home, or even towards his brothers and/or sisters. For that reason, it is better to place Lakis as the only cat in a house, or together with one of his brothers or sisters or friends. Lakis is neutered. Lakis is vaccinated. Lakis has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Update August 2026: Lakis is a handsome cat with a beautiful orange-white coat. He is no longer as active as he used to be, but he is always cheerful and ready for food. He is very friendly with the cats he lives with, but he doesn't like cats he doesn't know. He can therefore be adopted as the only cat in the house, or together with one of his friends, especially with his brother Danny.

Lakis werd in de zomer van 2019 buiten het huis van een kattendame gevonden. Hij werd daar achtergelaten met zijn broers, zussen en moeder. De vrijwilligster nam het gezin in huis, omdat ze wist dat ze op straat niet zouden kunnen overleven. De moeder van Lakis had het heel goed gedaan met haar kittens. Ze had haar kittens beschermd en ze waren allemaal erg vriendelijk tegen mensen. Ze waren ook erg schoon en gezond. Lakis is een erg actieve jongen vol energie. Lakis rent de hele dag in het gastgezin. Lakis kan soms erg dominant zijn ten opzichte van de andere katten in het gastgezin, of zelfs tegenover zijn broers en/of zussen. Om die reden is het beter om Lakis als enige kat in een huisje te plaatsen, of samen met één van zijn broers of zussen of vrienden. Lakis is gecastreerd. Lakis is gevaccineerd. Lakis is negatief getest voor FIV en FeLV. Update Augustus 2026: Lakis is een knappe kat met een prachtige oranje-witte vacht. Hij is natuurlijk niet meer zo actief als vroeger, maar hij is altijd vrolijk en klaar voor eten. Hij is erg vriendelijk met de katten waarmee hij samenwoont, maar hij houdt helemaal niet van katten die hij niet kent. Hij kan dus geadopteerd worden als enige kat in huis, of samen met een van zijn vrienden, vooral met zijn broer Danny.

About Lakis

What life with Lakis looks like

Lakis is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Mirtos Animal Project in Netherlands.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lakis, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lakis?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Mirtos Animal Project handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lakis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lakis if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Mirtos Animal Project 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 Lakis 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 Lakis 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 Mirtos Animal Project early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lakis 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 (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
