Merlin

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Name: Merlin Alter: 12 Jahre. Rasse: EKHGeschlecht: männlich. Kastriert: JaIm Tierheim seit: 26.05.2026 Der 12-jährige Kater Merlin sucht ein neues, ruhiges Zuhause, in dem seine Bedürfnisse respektiert werden. Merlin ist ein ruhiger und angenehmer Mitbewohner, der die Nähe zu seinen Menschen genießt. Gleichzeitig braucht er aber auch seinen Freiraum und zeigt deutlich, wenn ihm etwas zu viel wird. Werden seine Grenzen nicht beachtet, kann es vorkommen, dass er beißt. Deshalb sollte sein neues Zuhause bei Menschen sein, die Katzensprache verstehen und ihm den nötigen Freiraum lassen. Merlin war bereits vermittelt, musste jedoch aufgrund einer Beißsituation wieder zurückgebracht werden. Mit Menschen, die seine Signale respektieren, kommt er jedoch gut zurecht und zeigt sich als unkomplizierter Kater. Für Merlin wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause ohne Kinder und ohne andere Tiere. Merlin ist geimpft, kastriert und gechipt. Sollten sie Interesse an dem Charakterstarken Kater haben melden sie sich gerne bei uns im Tierheim. Wir sind Mo-Fr immer von 8-17 Uhr unter der erreichbar. Merlin freut sich von ihnen zu hören.

About Merlin

What life with Merlin looks like

Merlin is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Hersbrucker Tierheim.

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 — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Merlin, answered.

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