SOPHIA

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Meet Sophia Some cats lose their trust in people after suffering cruelty. Somehow, Sophia never did. She was found in the village of Agios Arsenios with a rope tightly tied around her neck. A mentally challenged resident had tethered her to a cupboard outside the family home, leaving her unable to escape. We can only imagine how desperately Sophia tried to free herself. It is believed that, in her struggle to chew through the rope, she lost all of her teeth. She is one of the sweetest cats at the shelter—gentle, affectionate, and always ready for a cuddle. She loves human company, enjoys being stroked, and is a happy, active girl who gets along beautifully with the other cats. Because she has no teeth, Sophia is best suited to an indoor home where she can live safely and comfortably. She has adapted incredibly well and doesn’t let her disability stop her from enjoying life. Sophia has already survived more than any cat should ever have to. Now she deserves a future filled with kindness, comfort, and love. Your monthly support helps provide her food, veterinary care, and the security of knowing she will always be safe, cared for, and loved. Medical condition Sophia was born in 2024 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. ) Because of this chronic illness Lucia cannot be adopted into a typical home and will remain at our shelter, where we ensure she receives lifelong care, safety, and comfort. By virtually adopting Sophia, you become her special guardian and help ensure she can live safely and comfortably for the rest of her life. While Sophia may never leave the shelter, your kindness gives her something incredibly important — security, care, and love. Become Sophias virtual guardian today. As a virtual adopter, you will receive: A personalized virtual adoption certificate • Monthly photos and updates about Sophia • The knowledge that you are changing her life

About SOPHIA

What life with SOPHIA looks like

SOPHIA is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Naxos Animal Welfare Society (NAWS) in Naxos.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting SOPHIA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about SOPHIA?
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 SOPHIA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt SOPHIA 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 SOPHIA 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 SOPHIA 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 SOPHIA 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.
