Have you ever dreamed of giving a stray cat a better life while on vacation?
Now, you can - and we’re here to make it effortless. Let’s be S.M.A.R.T., we’ve created a unique and powerful way for travelers and animal lovers to make their holidays more meaningful: The Adoption Vacation Initiative. Whether you're visiting Greece and fall in love with a furry friend, or you've already spotted your future companion online before your flight — we make the journey home easy, safe, and unforgettable.
What is an Adoption Vacation?
An Adoption Vacation is exactly what it sounds like - the chance to adopt a cat from Greece during or after your trip, with full support from our rescue organization. It's a beautiful way to combine travel with compassion, offering you a chance to rescue a cat who’s survived the streets of Greece and give them a loving forever home.
Here's how it works:
How It Works - We Handle the Hard PartWhether you're planning ahead or decide while you're here, we take care of every detail:
Pre-Adoption Prep
Already in love with one of our adoptable cats on our social media or our website? Let us know before your trip, and we’ll begin preparing your chosen cat for travel — including microchipping, vaccinations, vet checks, and documents.
Visit in Person
Prefer to meet your purring soulmate face to face? We’re just 15 minutes from Athens International Airport, tucked away in a peaceful sanctuary full of loving, socialized cats ready for adoption.
Full Travel Support
We handle all logistics, medical prep, and paperwork. You’ll receive detailed guidance on how to fly back with your new family member - stress-free and fully compliant with international regulations.
Healthy, Happy Companions
All our cats are fully vetted, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and socialized in a home-like environment. By the time they board the plane with you, they’re ready to thrive in their new life.
Why It Matters
In Greece, thousands of cats live on the streets - vulnerable to injury, illness, and neglect. While local adoptions are limited, international adopters like you create life-changing opportunities.When you choose to adopt during your vacation, you’re not just saving a life -you’re giving a second chance to a cat who’s already survived so much. Plus, the bond formed during your travel makes the adoption even more personal and profound.
It’s More Than a Souvenir - It’s a New Beginning
This is not just a rescue story. It’s your story too. You'll return home from your vacation not just with memories, but with a new best friend - one who will bring joy, gratitude, and companionship for years to come.Whether it’s Bowie our blind sweetheart, Esmeralda the tripod warrior, or a snuggly kitten waiting to be discovered - your future family member is already here, waiting to meet you.
