Adopt Merlin

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 12 months

Please share Merlin, who is described by his finder and fosterer Ľubica: "Merlin is the smallest, was the quietest, always on the edge and away from the others. When I picked him up, I felt bloody wounds on his belly. Fortunately, it was only dermatitis, which I found out later. He weighed a sixth less than his siblings. Merlin is already healed and ready for a new home. He is no longer hiding from his brothers. His caution remains. He is not the typical playful kitten that jumps at everything and must investigate everything right away. He thinks about whether it's worth it. Of course, he also likes to play and looks devotedly into his human's eyes. Kitten from the "Series of Five Orphans" from Trenčín (Sandokan, Herkules, Macko, Merlin, Sivka). Looking for a safe home in a loving interior. Fully socialized, clean, and used to adult cats, kittens, and even a 3-year-old child. We trim his claws, clean his ears, and brush his fur. The story of the kittens: the kittens grew up near a house near Trenčín. The house had no fence, people with dogs and cars walked around. One of the siblings had a bleeding and injured belly, matted fur, and held his side. He was weak (Merlin). That was the reason I decided to help him. Then came the question - what about the others? Should I leave them there because they are healthy and nothing has happened to them yet? Until when will nothing happen to them? Until when will a passing dog jump on them? Until when will they end up under car wheels? It was not a heart-wrenching story, but it was necessary to take care of these kittens so they would not experience their own heart-wrenching story... He is 4 months old, tested negative for FIV and FeLV. He is regularly dewormed and vaccinated.

Zdieľajte prosím Merlina, opíše ho jeho nálezkyňa a dočaskárka Ľubica:"Merlin je najmenší, bol najtichší, stále bokom a v ústraní od ostatných. Keď som ho vzala naruky, pocítila som na jeho brušku krvavé rany. Našťastie to bola iba dermatitída, čo som sadozvedela až neskôr. Vážil o šestinu menej než zvyšní súrodenci.Merlin je už dávno vyliečený a pripravený do nového domova. Už nie je viac v ústranía bratov poriadne popreháňa. Rozvážnosť mu však ostala. Nie je to ten typický mačiatkovskýkocúrik, čo po všetkom skáče a všetko musí hneď a teraz prebádať. On si porozmýšľa, či muto za to stojí ..Samozrejme sa aj on rád pomojká a pritom oddane pozerá svojmu človeku do očí.Mačiatko zo „série“ Päť strakáčikov z Trenčína (Sandokan, Herkules, Macko, Merlin, Sivka)Hľadá si bezpečný domov v interiéri plný lásky. Je plne socializovaný, vymojkaný a je zvyknutýna dospelé mačky, mačiatka aj na malé 3 ročné dieťa. Striháme mu pazúriky, čistíme uši aj češeme kožúšok.Príbeh mačiatok:Mačiatka vyrastali pri dome neďaleko Trenčína. Dom bol bez plotu, okolo chodili ľudia so psami a autá. Jeden zo súrodencov mal krvavé a poranené bruško, dolepenú srsť a držal sa bokom. Bol slabý (Merlin). To bol dôvod, prečo som sa rozhodla mu pomôcť. A potom prišla otázka – a čo ostatní? Mám ich tam nechať, pretože sú zdraví a zatiaľ im nič nie je? Do kedy im nič nebude? Do kedy na nich nevyskočí okoloidúci pes? Do kedy neskončia pod kolesami auta? Nebol to žiadny srdcervúci príbeh, no aj o tieto mačiatka bolo potrebné sa postarať, aby nezažili ten svoj srdcervúci príbeh...Má 4 mesiace, je testovaný na FIV, FeLV s negatívnym výsledkom. Je pravidelne odčerovaný a očkovaný."Nachádza sa v Trenčíne dovoz možný

About Merlin

What life with Merlin looks like

Merlin is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at OZ MačkySOS in Slovakia.

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 Slovakia

Slovak rescue groups coordinate cross-border transport with European partners. Animals are chipped and vaccinated; sterilization is often included for adults and arranged post-adoption for puppies/kittens.

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. OZ MačkySOS 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 — OZ MačkySOS 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 OZ MačkySOS 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 (SK). 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.
