Meet Gandalf

Gandalf is a 5-year-old male cat who came into our care in October of 2025 suffering from a respiratory tract infection. He was found in the main town of Naxos (Chora).We nursed him back to health and have always enjoyed his company – he is gentle, friendly and cuddly and socializes well with other cats.

Medical condition

Gandalf 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 Gandalf cannot be adopted into a typical home and will remain at our shelter, where we ensure he receives lifelong care, safety, and comfort.

By virtually adopting Gandalf, you become his special guardian and help ensure he can live safely and comfortably for the rest of his life.

While Gandalf may never leave the shelter, your kindness gives him something incredibly important — security, care, and love.

Meet Denia

Denia was born March 2025 and came into our care in July of the same year.  She was found in the main town of Naxos (Chora) with a severe eye infection and consequently lost her sight in that eye. She is very sweet but extremely shy and hides when we come into the room – but she is playful and happy with other cats.

Medical condition

Denia lives with FeLV –  the Feline Leukemia Virus, a serious, contagious retrovirus that compromises her immune system. It often causes cancer, severe anemia, or secondary infections. While not curable, many cats can live with a good quality of life for months to years with specialized, indoor-only, and stress-free care. 

Because of this chronic illness Denia cannot be adopted into a typical home and will remain at our shelter, where we ensure she receives lifelong care, safety, and comfort.

He had a broken jaw and his eye was severely damaged and had to be removed.  After surgery and a prolonged stay at the vet clinic he came to our temporary shelter where his recovery continued.

Despite everything Laki has been through, he has a gentle and special spirit.

Meet Lucia

Lucia was born in 2021. In August 2024, she was taken to the vet by someone who could no longer care for her, so NAWS took over her care.  When Lucia was found, she had a broken pelvis and was dragging her back legs. After spending many weeks resting in a small crate, her fracture healed. She still walks a little wobbly and needs time to rebuild her muscles after such a long period of restricted movement. At first, Lucia was very scared, but she has slowly become more trusting. Now she enjoys gentle cuddles from the people she knows. She also gets along well with the other FIV+ cats she lives with, as they share the same outdoor enclosure.

Medical condition

Lucia lives with FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus – a slow acting species –specific virus that weakens a cat’s immune system, making them susceptible to infections.)
