How do I contact the shelter about Merle?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main 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 — Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main 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 Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main 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.

Merle

European Shorthair · Female

Merle – young snuggly cat with big expressive eyes;&; Merle is a female cat born around 2024, who with her black fur and big, expressive eyes immediately wins everyone's hearts. The cute velvet paw has already been neutered and is ready to move into her new home. The young cat shows herself to be a friendly, cuddly companion. She enjoys the company of her humans, enjoys cuddles, and meets her environment with curiosity and openness. With her loving nature, she quickly brings joy and a lot of charm. As an outdoor cat, Merle would like to have the opportunity to explore her surroundings again after an appropriate period of getting used to her new home. Afterwards, she looks forward to returning home and getting an extra portion of cuddle units from her humans. Through her open and uncomplicated nature, Merle can also easily imagine a life in a family with children. She brings the best prerequisites to become a faithful companion for big and small. Merle has everything one could wish for in a young cat: she is loving, cuddly, people-oriented, and full of life. Now she just needs the right home where she will be loved and can enjoy her happy cat life. &;&; For serious interest, we would be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet appointment by phone.

About Merle

What life with Merle looks like

Merle is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main in Germany.

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.
