How do I contact the shelter about Merlin?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Hattersheim und Umgebung 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 — Tierschutzverein Hattersheim und Umgebung 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 Tierschutzverein Hattersheim und Umgebung 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.

Merlin

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Merlin (m/k, born ca. 06/2022) is a large, slender snuggle cat looking for his forever home. Merlin was found together with Henry and now waits at this breed animal shelter for people who would like to give him security and safety. The handsome tomcat is not only large and elegant but also extremely cuddly and talkative. He enjoys every pat, actively seeks the company of his people, and loves to receive attention. Merlin has slightly elevated liver values, which may be due to stress. Therefore, he is allowed to have a small meal in the evening. In three to four months, the liver values should be rechecked. For Merlin, we wish for a loving home in a quiet environment where he can explore the world to his heart's content and then return for cuddles. Who will give this gentle giant a home? 🐾 Merlin and Rose are now so intimately bonded that we no longer want to separate them. This cat needs outdoor access.

Merlin (m/k, geb. ca. 06/2022) Großer, schlanker Schmusekater sucht sein Für-immer-Zuhause Merlin wurde gemeinsam mit Henry gefunden und wartet nun im Tierheim auf Menschen, die ihm Geborgenheit und Sicherheit schenken möchten. Der hübsche Kater ist nicht nur groß und elegant, sondern auch ausgesprochen verschmust und redeselig. Er genießt jede Streicheleinheit, sucht aktiv die Nähe seiner Menschen und liebt es, Aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen. Merlin hat leicht erhöhte Leberwerte, die evtl.auf den Stress zurückzuführen sind. Abends darf er deshalb ein Tablettchen verspeisen. In drei bis vier Monaten sollte der Leberwert nachkontolliert werden. Für Merlin wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause mit späterem Freigang in ruhiger Umgebung, damit er nach Herzenslust die Welt erkunden und anschließend wieder zum Kuscheln heimkommen kann. Wer schenkt diesem sanften Riesen ein Zuhause? 🐾 Merlin und Rose sind inzwischen so innig miteinander, dass wir sie nicht mehr trennen möchten.

About Merlin

What life with Merlin looks like

Merlin is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Hattersheim und Umgebung e.V. in Hattersheim am Main.

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.
