Merlin

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 7 years

Hallo zusammen, mein Name ist Merlin. Ich kam gemeinsam mit Gizmo & Jacky ins Tierheim und suche nach meinem Für-immer-Zuhause. Ich bin anfangs manchmal etwas zurückhaltender, taue aber sehr schnell auf und schmuse für mein Leben gerne. Da ich schon immer mit anderen Katzen zusammengelebt habe, möchte ich auch in meinem neuen Zuhause wieder Gesellschaft. Diese sollte allerdings nicht zu aufdringlich sein, denn das wäre mir zu viel. Ich wünsche mir in eine Wohnung mit einem katzensicher eingenetzten Balkon ziehen zu dürfen. Ältere Kinder, die meine Grenzen respektieren wären vermutlich in Ordnung. Möchtest Du mir ein Zuhause schenken, hast dir deine Entscheidung gut überleg und dein Vermieter ist einverstanden? Dann schreibe doch gerne eine E-Mail und erzähl darin am besten schonmal etwas über dich und deine Haltungsbedingungen. Bis bald, Merlin

About Merlin

What life with Merlin looks like

Merlin is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

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, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Merlin?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Stuttgart 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 — Tierheim Stuttgart 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 Tierheim Stuttgart 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.
