How do I contact the shelter about Luis?

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

Can I adopt Luis 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 Luis 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 Luis 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 Luis 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.

Luis

Mixed Breed · Male

Luis is a 5-year-old black mixed-breed male with white markings, 32 cm tall and weighing 10 kg. He is chipped, vaccinated, and neutered. Luis is a lovely, beautiful, house-trained male who is eager to find a forever home. He is still a bit cautious around strangers but is curious and playful in familiar situations. He settles well at home and is a pleasant companion in the car. We are looking for people who enjoy accompanying a young dog on his journey through life. People who can show him patience and love and demonstrate how wonderful a dog's life can be. Luis's leash manners still need work, and he is currently unsure about dog encounters. In such situations, he needs a calm, confident person to guide him and provide reassurance. He is also still unsure about meeting new people. Luis's wish list includes an active, lively home with dedicated people who can guide him safely, sensitively, and consistently, and who are passionate about working with him. Luis was born in 2025 and is from Romania. He is currently living in Germany with a foster family.

About Luis

What life with Luis looks like

Luis is a large 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.
