Merle

Female · Kitten · 1 month

Merle * 2026: Merle is a loving, lively, and open-minded kitten: She is playful, curious, and full of joy😻 Together with her siblings, she zips around the place chasing toy flies and balls 🎣🎾 After playing, she also enjoys the calm and relaxed moments with the foster mom🥰 Merle is the bravest and boldest of the litter, and very people-oriented, social, and knows dogs🐕 When she observes them, Merle stays cool and isn't afraid. Her sister Maggi often sits behind her and watches. Now we wish for a loving home for the little mouse, where she can grow up protected and experience many adventures 🏡 Merle can move into a new home with one of her siblings (preferably with Maggi) or with an existing, young cat. She can receive visitors at 8 weeks and move into her new home around 12 weeks, depending on her development.

Merle * 2026: Merle ist ein liebes, aufgewecktes und aufgeschlossenes Katzenkind: Sie ist verspielt, neugierig und voller Lebensfreude😻 Gemeinsam mit ihren Geschwisterchen flitzt sie durch die Gegend und jagt Spielangeln und Bällchen hinterher🎣🎾 Nach dem Spielen genießt sie aber genauso gerne die ruhigen und entspannten Momente mit der Pflegemama🥰 Merle ist die Mutigste und Unerschrockenste aus dem Wurf, zudem sehr menschenbezogen, sozial und kennt Hunde🐕 Wenn sie sie beobachtet, bleibt Merle cool sitzen und hat keine Angst. Ihre Schwester Maggi sitzt dann gerne hinter ihr und schaut zu. Für die kleine Maus wünschen wir uns nun ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie behütet aufwachsen und viele Abenteuer erleben darf 🏡 Merle kann mit einem ihrer Geschwisterchen (gerne mit Maggi) oder zu einer bestehenden, jungen Katze ins neue Heim ziehen. Mit 8 Wochen darf sie Besuch empfangen, mit ca. 12. Wochen, je nach Entwicklung, darf sie in ihr neues Zuhause einziehen. Bei der

About Merle

What life with Merle looks like

Merle is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Katzenschutzfreunde Rhein-Ahr-Eifel e.V. in Schalkenbach.

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 Merle, answered.

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