SPINO

Mixed Breed · Male

Meet SPINO Spino’s journey began with pain and fear. He was found in the main town of Naxos with a badly broken hind leg, most likely after being hit by a car. His injuries were so severe that he spent many long weeks confined to a small recovery crate while his body slowly healed. During this time Spino was terrified and too frightened to allow us to touch him. Despite every effort to save his leg, the veterinarians eventually made the difficult decision that it had to be amputated. But that wasn’t the end of Spino’s story—it was the beginning of a new one. Once he had recovered and was finally able to leave his crate and enjoy the freedom of the outdoor shelter, everything changed. In this new place emerged a gentle, friendly boy who discovered that human hands could offer comfort instead of fear. Today, Spino enjoys cuddles from our volunteers, lives happily alongside the other cats, and has adapted beautifully to life on three legs. He doesn’t let his disability slow him down and faces each day with quiet confidence. By virtually adopting Spino, you’re giving a brave little survivor the happy future he has fought so hard to reach.

About SPINO

What life with SPINO looks like

SPINO is a small 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 SPINO, answered.

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