MERIDA

Female · Young · 1 year

Süße Samtpfote wünscht sich liebe Menschen. Die hübsche aber schüchterne Merida ist 2025 geboren und mit ihren Babys zu uns gekommen. Sie sucht ein Zuhause mit viel Geduld, da sie vermutlich wenig Kontakt zu Menschen hatte und ihnen noch nicht vertraut. Sie ist neugierig, aber lässt sich nicht anfassen, und versteckt sich rasch. Wir hoffen, dass sie mit genug Zeit und Geduld zutraulicher wird. Daher wäre eine zutraulich Zweitkatze sehr vorteilhaft, wo sie lernt, dass Menschen nicht schlimm sind und man sich nicht fürchten muss. Gesucht wird ein ländliches Zuhause mit Freigang und Menschen mit viel Zeit und Geduld, ihr die Vorzüge von menschlicher Nähe zu zeigen.

About MERIDA

What life with MERIDA looks like

MERIDA is a young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Krems in Krems an der Donau.

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 Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included.

Frequently asked

Adopting MERIDA, answered.

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