Pontikos

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

Our little Pontikos – “mouse” – was found crying desperately in bushes next to a busy road. Thankfully, a young couple heard him, trapped him and took gim to the vet for first aid. From there he came into our care. This kitty is full of life and curiosity. He runs, climbs, explores every corner, follows people everywhere, and cheekily steals food from other cats. He lives with many other cats and gets along well with them all. Affectionate in his own way, he enjoys being near people and playing, but still needs time before he’s comfortable being picked up. Pontikos is looking for a patient family who will love him for who he is and allow him to open up at his own pace. Subscribe for stories from Athens’ street cats, straight to your inbox.

About Pontikos

What life with Pontikos looks like

Pontikos is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Nine Lives Greece in Greece.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇬🇷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 Pontikos, answered.

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