Merlin & Merle

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Merlin and Merle are two young EKH cats, born around October 2025, now together looking for their forever home. Since the two get along very well and harmonize wonderfully, we would like to place them together. Merlin is an exceptionally cuddly and playful cat. He also gets along well with other cats and enjoys both extensive play sessions and the closeness to his humans. Merle is also a very cuddly and playful cat. She is social and gets along well with other cats. Together with Merlin, she forms a great team - the two can play, romp and then snuggle up together. We wish for Merlin and Merle a home where they have enough space to be active according to their young age. A spacious apartment with a secure balcony would be ideal for the two. Alternatively, we can also imagine a home with later outdoor access in a suitable, low-traffic environment for the duo. Whoever decides for Merlin and Merle gets double cat happiness: two young, social and incredibly cuddly cats who can go through life together. If you would like to get to know them, please click on the "Request cat" button and fill out the online form completely. This way we receive all relevant information for an initial conversation in advance.

Merlin und Merle sind zwei junge EKH-Katzen, die etwa im Oktober 2025 geboren wurden und nun gemeinsam auf der Suche nach ihrem Für-immer-Zuhause sind. Da sich die beiden sehr gut verstehen und wunderbar miteinander harmonieren, möchten wir sie ausschließlich gemeinsam vermitteln. Merlin ist ein ausgesprochen verschmuster und verspielter Kater. Er kommt auch mit anderen Katzen gut zurecht und genießt sowohl ausgiebige Spieleinheiten als auch die Nähe zu seinen Menschen. Auch Merle ist eine sehr verschmuste und verspielte Katzendame. Sie ist sozial und verträgt sich gut mit anderen Katzen. Gemeinsam mit Merlin bildet sie ein tolles Team – die beiden können miteinander spielen, toben und sich anschließend gemütlich zusammenkuscheln. Für Merlin und Merle wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, in dem sie genügend Platz haben, um ihrem jungen Alter entsprechend aktiv zu sein. Eine großzügige Wohnungshaltung mit gesichertem Balkon wäre für die beiden ideal. Alternativ können wir uns für das Duo auch ein Zuhause mit späterem Freigang in geeigneter, verkehrsarmer Umgebung vorstellen. Wer sich für Merlin und Merle entscheidet, bekommt gleich doppeltes Katzenglück: zwei junge, soziale und unglaublich verschmuste Katzen, die gemeinsam durchs Leben gehen dürfen. Wenn Sie ihn kennenlernen möchten, klicken Sie bitte auf den Button „Katze anfragen“ und füllen Sie das Online-Formular vollständig aus. So erhalten wir vorab alle relevanten Informationen für ein erstes Gespräch.

About Merlin & Merle

What life with Merlin & Merle looks like

Merlin & Merle is a large young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.

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 Merlin & Merle, answered.

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