How do I contact the shelter about LENNART?

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

Can I adopt LENNART 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 LENNART 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 LENNART 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 LENNART 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.

LENNART

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Meet Lennart Some stories remind us that even the toughest exterior can hide the gentlest heart. Lennart was found lying on the main road in Naxos after being hit by a car. His injuries were severe—a broken pelvis that required surgery and many weeks of careful recovery. Unable to move freely, he spent a long time confined to a recovery crate while his bones slowly healed. During those difficult weeks, Lennart was angry, frightened, and in pain. He lashed out at everyone who tried to help him, hissing, scratching, and attacking the volunteers who cared for him every day. We all believed he was simply an aggressive cat. But we couldn’t have been more wrong. The day finally came when Lennart was strong enough to leave his crate and enjoy the freedom of the shelter grounds. Almost overnight, he revealed the cat he had been all along. The frightened, defensive cat disappeared, replaced by one of the sweetest, most affectionate boys you could ever meet. Lennart now follows our volunteers around the shelter, asking for cuddles, enjoying every bit of attention he can get. He spends his days relaxing in the sunshine with the other free-roaming cats, content, peaceful, and finally happy. Lennart is FIV positive, but he is healthy, happy, and deserves the chance to experience what every cat dreams of: a loving home of his own. If the right family comes forward, NAWS will ensure he is fully vaccinated and prepared for travel so he can begin his new life wherever that may be. Until that special day arrives, you can make a real difference by becoming Lennart’s Virtual Adopter. Your monthly support helps provide his food, veterinary care, and everything he needs while he waits for the forever home he so richly deserves. Could you be the person who changes Lennart’s life forever? Medical condition Lennart was born in 2015 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. ) He also suffered a broken pelvis when he was hit by the car and was sent to Syros for specialized surgery. Because of his chronic illness Lennart cannot be adopted into a typical home. By virtually adopting Lennart, you become his special guardian and help ensure he can live safely and comfortably for the rest of his life. While Lennart may never leave the shelter, your kindness gives him something incredibly important — security, care, and love. Become Lennart’s virtual guardian today. As a virtual adopter, you will receive: A personalized virtual adoption certificate • Monthly photos and updates about Lennart • The knowledge that you are changing his life

About LENNART

What life with LENNART looks like

LENNART is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Naxos Animal Welfare Society (NAWS) in Naxos.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇬🇷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.
