Adopt Mabea und Merivo

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

The siblings Mabea und Merivo arrived at the animal shelter in the summer of 2025 as kittens, along with another brother and their wild mother as foundlings, but no owner family could be traced, if there ever was one. The initially very shy mother cat and the brother have already found new homes, and now Mabea the delicate and her slightly larger brother Merivo would like to move into their own home. The two are initially a bit reserved around people, but Merivo has since found that cuddles are quite pleasant. Mabea is still a bit skeptical in this regard, but if met with patience and given enough time to build trust, she also enjoys human affection and will happily make herself comfortable on someone's lap. Of course, both also have all sorts of mischief in their heads, as is not uncommon for kittens of their age. The cat pair would like to have a trial period with a regular home in a quiet neighborhood, and ideally, the new home would belong to people who are not out all day. It could also be a husbandry situation in a very spacious apartment, but only with a secure outdoor space. Potential adopters should be prepared for multiple visits to Mabea und Merivo in the cat room to allow the two to get to know their future family in advance. Mabea und Merivo are not suitable for children.

Die Geschwister Mabea und Merivo kamen im Sommer 2025 als kleine Kätzchen zusammen mit einem weiteren Brüderchen und ihrer wilden Mutter als Fundtiere ins Tierheim, doch eine Besitzerfamilie war nicht zu ermitteln, wenn es denn je eine gegeben hat. Die anfangs sehr scheue Mutterkatze und das Brüderchen haben bereits ein neues Zuhause gefunden und jetzt möchten auch die zarte Mabea und ihr etwas größerer Bruder Merivo gerne ins eigene Heim umziehen. Die beiden sind Menschen gegenüber zunächst etwas zurückhaltend, doch vor allem Merivo findet mittlerweile Streicheleinheiten sehr angenehm. Mabea ist in dieser Hinsicht noch etwas skeptisch, aber wenn man ihr mit Ruhe und Geduld begegnet und ihr genügend Zeit gibt, um Vertrauen zu fassen, genießt auch sie menschliche Zuwendung und macht sich´s dann gerne auf dem Schoß gemütlich.Natürlich haben beide auch allerlei Flausen im Kopf, wie das bei Jungkatzen dieses Alters nicht ungewöhnlich ist. Das Katzenpärchen möchte nach entsprechender Eingewöhnung wieder Freigang in einer verkehrsberuhigten Wohngegend haben, und idealerweise gehört das neue Zuhause Menschen, die nicht ganztags außer Haus sind.Denkbar wäre auch eine Haltung in einer wirklich großzügigen Wohnung, dann aber unbedingt mit gesichertem Freisitz.Interessenten sollten vor der Adoption bereit sein für mehrere Besuche bei Mabea und Merivo im Katzenzimmer, damit die beiden ihre künftige Familie schon im Vorfeld ausreichend kennenlernen können.Für Kinder sind Mabea und Merivo nicht geeignet.

About Mabea und Merivo

What life with Mabea und Merivo looks like

Mabea und Merivo is a large young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz in Neumarkt.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mabea und Merivo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mabea und Merivo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mabea und Merivo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mabea und Merivo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz 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 Mabea und Merivo 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 Mabea und Merivo 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 Tierheim Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mabea und Merivo 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 (DE). 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.
