Ylas

Mixed Breed Β· Male Β· Kitten Β· 4 months

Ylas, a sweet little boy, is a month or two old and was abandoned at the door of Poly, our volunteer on Lesbos. He was crying and had no idea what was happening to him. Poor Ylas. He was lovingly taken in by Poly's home and immediately felt at home with all the kittens. From the beginning, Ylas has been a shy boy. He is looking for a home with someone who can spend a lot of time and attention on him and give him time to get used to his new person and home. To people, he is still quite hesitant. Poly lets him come to her on his own and then he loves to be petted, but lifting him up is still too exciting for him. Ylas can be placed with another cat, which would be very cozy for him and help him develop into a confident boy. A quiet dog would also be fine, although he has not been used to dogs before. Once, he climbed over the fence with Poly and didn't know what was happening to him. He panicked and wanted to go back inside. He is looking for a nice home with an escape-proof balcony or a fenced garden. He doesn't need to be able to go outside freely, but he loves to enjoy the sunshine! Can you offer Ylas the safe home he so badly needs? Do you have time and patience? Please contact us soon. Click here for a video. Click here for the adoption form.

Voor deze lieve man, genaamd Ylas, zijn wij op zoek naar een eigen huis. Ylas is als klein mannetje van een maand of twee, voor de deur, gedumpt bij Poly, onze vrijwilliger op Lesbos. Hij was enorm aan het schreeuwen en had geen idee wat hem overkwam. Arme Ylas. Liefdevol is hij opgenomen in het huis van Poly, hij voelde zich meteen thuis bij alle kittens. Van begin af aan is Ylas een verlegen mannetje geweest. Hij zoekt dan ook een huisje bij iemand die veel tijd en aandacht aan hem kan besteden en hem de tijd geeft om te wennen aan zijn nieuwe mens en huis. Naar mensen toe is hij dus nog best afwachtend. Poly laat hem uit zichzelf naar haar toekomen en dan vindt hij het heerlijk om geaaid te worden, optillen vindt hij nog te spannend. Ylas kan geplaatst worden bij een andere kat, dat zou voor hem heel gezellig zijn en hem helpen bij zijn ontwikkeling tot een zelfverzekerd ventje. Een lieve rustige hond zou voor hem ook kunnen, al is hij verder nog geen honden gewend geweest. EΓ©n keertje is hij bij Poly over de heg geklommen en wist toen niet wat hem overkwam. Hij raakte in paniek en wilde heel graag weer naar binnen. Hij zoekt dus een fijn huis met een ontsnappings-proof balkon of een afgezette tuin. Hij hoeft niet vrij naar buiten te kunnen, maar hij houdt er wel van om te genieten van het zonnetje! Kunt u Ylas het veilige huis bieden wat hij zo nodig heeft? Heeft u tijd en geduld?

About Ylas

What life with Ylas looks like

Ylas is a small kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Atlas Animal Project in Netherlands.

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 β€” most shelters arrange this before adoption.

πŸ‡³πŸ‡±Adopting from Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ylas, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ylas?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Atlas Animal Project handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ylas on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ylas if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Atlas Animal Project 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 Ylas 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Ylas isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Atlas Animal Project early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ylas 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 (NL). Translation is imperfect β€” 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.
