Adopt Merlin & Madam Mim

European Shorthair · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

The siblings lost their home unexpectedly and tragically. Merlin (black-and-white) is already well-adjusted and always present. Madam Mim (tiger-striped) is still very cautious and needs a moment to trust before coming out of her hiding spot. The fur-nosed ones are incredibly cuddly. Merlin has epilepsy but is well-adjusted to his medication and takes it easily with treats. We are looking for a shared, quiet home suitable for apartment living, with lots of love and patience. A secure balcony would be very much appreciated by the siblings.

Die Geschwister haben unverschuldet und auf tragische Weise ihr Zuhause verloren. Merlin (schwarz-weiss) ist schon gut aufgetaut und immer präsent. Madam Mim (getigert) ist noch sehr vorsichtig und braucht einen Moment, um sich aus ihrer Höhle zu trauen. Die Fellnasen sind unglaublich lieb und verschmust. Merlin hat Epilepsie, ist aber gut auf seine Medikamente eingestellt und diese nimmt er problemlos mit Leckerchen. Für die Beiden suchen wir ein gemeinsames, ruhiges Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung, mit viel Liebe und Geduld. Ein gesicherter Balkon würde den Geschwistern gut gefallen.

About Merlin & Madam Mim

What life with Merlin & Madam Mim looks like

Merlin & Madam Mim is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Diez in Diez.

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 & Madam Mim, answered.

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