How do I contact the shelter about Rose?

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

Can I adopt Rose 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 Rose 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 Rose 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 Rose 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.

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Rose is looking for a home 💚 Meet Rose 🌹 Rose - a three-legged kitten with a big heart is looking for her forever home 🐾❤️ Rose is a young female cat from a shelter. Sometimes life writes very special stories - and exactly such a one brings our beautiful tricolor Rose. Rose was born in mid-April 2025 and has already experienced a lot. The young cat lost one of her legs in a car accident. But whoever thinks Rose would be held back by this, hasn't met this lively little personality yet! With her three legs she copes excellently. She plays, dashes and curiously explores her surroundings and shows every day anew how much joy of life is in her. For Rose herself her missing leg is not a topic at all. She doesn't want to be pitied - she just wants to be a cat and enjoy her life. ❤️ People-oriented, curious and full of joie de vivre Rose is an incredibly people-oriented, curious and lively young cat who enthusiastically explores her surroundings and is happy to be involved everywhere. Play, dash, discover and then cuddle extensively - that's what a perfect day looks like for our Rose. 🐱❤️ The pretty lucky cat brings quite a bit of personality with her. Rose knows exactly what she wants - and just as exactly when something becomes too much for her. If she has had enough of cuddling, for example, she also shows this clearly. That's why we wish for Rose people who understand cat language, read her signals and respect her boundaries. Whoever appreciates this self-confident side of her gets a very special little companion. A cat friend belongs to Rose's happiness 🐾 As much as Rose is people-oriented, she doesn't want to spend her future life without a suitable cat society. For her new home we therefore urgently wish for a playful cat friend or tomcat of about the same age, ideal

🐾 Rose sucht ein Zuhause 💚 Rose kennenlernen 🌹 Rose – Dreibeinchen mit großem Herzen sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause 🐾❤️ Bei Rose handelt es sich um eine junge Kätzin aus dem Tierschutz. Manchmal schreibt das Leben ganz besondere Geschichten – und genau so eine bringt unsere wunderschöne dreifarbige Rose mit. Rose wurde Mitte April 2025 geboren und hat bereits einiges erlebt. Bei einem Autounfall verlor die junge Kätzin eines ihrer Beine. Doch wer glaubt, Rose würde sich davon ausbremsen lassen, kennt diese lebensfrohe kleine Persönlichkeit noch nicht! Mit ihren drei Beinen kommt sie hervorragend zurecht. Sie spielt, flitzt und erkundet neugierig ihre Umgebung und zeigt jeden Tag aufs Neue, wie viel Lebensfreude in ihr steckt. Für Rose selbst scheint ihr fehlendes Bein überhaupt kein Thema zu sein. Sie möchte nicht bemitleidet werden – sie möchte einfach Katze sein und ihr Leben genießen. ❤️ Menschenbezogen, neugierig und voller Lebensfreude Rose ist eine unglaublich menschenbezogene, neugierige und aufgeweckte junge Katze, die ihre Umgebung mit Begeisterung erkundet und am liebsten überall dabei ist. Spielen, flitzen, entdecken und anschließend ausgiebig kuscheln – so sieht ein perfekter Tag für unsere Rose aus. 🐱❤️ Dabei bringt die hübsche Glückskatze durchaus eine ordentliche Portion Persönlichkeit mit. Rose weiß genau, was sie möchte – und ebenso genau, wann ihr etwas zu viel wird. Hat sie beispielsweise genug vom Schmusen, zeigt sie das auch deutlich. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für Rose Menschen, die Katzensprache verstehen, ihre Signale lesen und ihre Grenzen respektieren. Wer genau diese selbstbewusste Seite an ihr zu schätzen weiß, bekommt eine ganz besondere kleine Begleiterin. Ein Katzenfreund gehört zu Roses Glück 🐾 So menschenbezogen Rose auch ist, soll sie ihr zukünftiges Leben nicht ohne passende Katzengesellschaft verbringen. Für ihr neues Zuhause wünschen wir uns deshalb unbedingt einen etwa gleichaltrigen, verspielten Katzenfreund oder Kater, ideale

About Rose

What life with Rose looks like

Rose is a large young 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.
