Adopt MERLIN

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 10 months

MERLIN and his siblings were abandoned in a cardboard box near our ark. Of course, we immediately took the little ones in and raised them in safety. Now, all of them are very open, healthy, and lively, and more than ready to find their forever families. Here, the five now get to know fellow animals of all sizes and ages, laying the groundwork for extensive socialization. In the coming weeks, they will also learn to walk on a leash and life in the house, alongside our volunteers. Compared to his siblings, MERLIN has little to say in dog interactions and tends to submit to the others. This makes him a very pleasant member of any dog group. Given their appearance, we assume that the little ones are German Shepherd mixes. Their future families should be familiar with the characteristic traits of these watchful dogs and be ready to guide their protector in a loving, but also clear and consistent manner.

Merlin und seine Geschwister wurden in einem Pappkarton in der Nähe unserer Arche ausgesetzt. Natürlich haben wir die Kleinen sofort aufgenommen und bei uns in Sicherheit aufwachsen lassen. Mittlerweile sind alle sehr aufgeschlossen, gesund und munter und mehr als bereit, ihre Für-immer-Familien zu finden. Bei uns lernen die Fünf nun Artgenossen aller Größen und jeden Alters kennen, um den Grundstein einer umfangreichen Sozialisierung zu legen. Auch das Laufen an der Leine und das Leben im Haus werden sie an der Seite unserer Volontäre in den nächsten Wochen kennenlernen. Im Vergleich zu seinen Geschwistern hat Merlin im Hundekontakt wenig zu melden und ordnet sich den anderen eher unter. Das macht ihn zu einem sehr angenehmen Mitglied in jeglichen Hundegruppen. Aufgrund ihres Aussehens gehen wir davon aus, dass es sich bei den Kleinen um Schäferhund-Mischlinge handelt. Ihre zukünftigen Familien sollten sich mit den charakteristischen Eigenschaften dieser wachsamen Hunde auseinandergesetzt haben und bereit sein, ihrem Schützling auf liebevolle, aber auch klare und konsequente Art den Weg zu weisen. Den regelmäßigen Kontakt zu Artgenossen und anderen Menschen, sowie ein an die neuen Lebensverhältnisse angepasstes Alltagstraining setzen wir bei einer

About MERLIN

What life with MERLIN looks like

MERLIN is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Arche Noah Transilvania e.V. in Germany.

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 MERLIN, answered.

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