adoption requirements adoption process Adopt this animal now! adoption requirements adoption process Merlino has found a home! His story: This is Merlino, a one-year-old tomcat with a quiet and reserved personality. Like many cats, Merlino was initially a bit shy and needed some time to build trust with his human. But once he settles in, he will surely thaw out gradually. The handsome tomcat was found in a basement of an apartment house with his sister Hearts and is now searching for a family that loves him and offers him a safe environment. He gets along well with other cats and enjoys their company. Therefore, he should not be kept as a single cat. It has not yet been tested how Merlino reacts to dogs. He will not be rehomed on a leash, as he only knows life in suitable for apartment living. A secured balcony is not a rehoming requirement, but it would give the wonderful tomcat the opportunity to sniff some fresh air and bask in the sun on nice days. Now, Merlino is ready to move into his first real home. He is waiting for loving owners who will give him time to adjust to his new environment and all the love and care he deserves. Will you be the one to offer this lovable tomcat a new, loving home? For his travel arrangements, Merlino, like all our cats and tomcats, is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated. He has already tested negative for FIV and FeLV and will also carry an EU pet passport in his travel bag. Many thanks Marina J.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Merlino hat ein Zuhause gefunden! Seine Geschichte: Das ist Merlino, ein einjährigen Kater mit einer ruhigen und zurückhaltenden Persönlichkeit. Wie viele Katzen ist auch Merlino anfangs ein wenig schüchtern und braucht etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu seinem Menschen aufzubauen. Aber wenn er sich eingewöhnt hat, wird er sicher nach und nach auftauen. Der hübsche Kater wurde zusammen mit seiner Schwester Hearts in einem Keller eines Wohnhauses gefunden und sucht nun eine Familie, die ihn liebt und ihm ein sicheres Umfeld bietet. Er ist gut mit anderen Katzen verträglich und genießt ihre Gesellschaft. Deshalb sollte er nicht als Einzelkatze gehalten werden. Bisher konnte nicht getestet werden, wie Merlino auf Hunde reagiert. Er wird nicht mit Freigang vermittelt, da er nur das Leben in Wohnungshaltung kennt. Ein gesicherter Balkon ist keine Vermittlungsvoraussetzung, würde dem tollen Kater jedoch die Möglichkeit geben auch mal etwas frische Luft zu schnuppern und sich an schönen Tagen die Sonne auf den Bauch scheinen zu lassen. Jetzt ist Merlino bereit, in sein erstes richtiges Zuhause umzuziehen. Er wartet auf liebevolle Besitzer, die ihm Zeit geben, sich an seine neue Umgebung zu gewöhnen und ihm all die Liebe und Fürsorge geben, die er verdient. Werden Sie derjenige sein, der diesem liebenswerten Kater ein neues, liebevolles Zuhause bietet? Bei seiner Ausreise ist Merlino, wie all unsere Katzen und Kater, kastriert, gechippt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht. Auf FIV und FeLV wurde er bereits negativ getestet und einen EU-Heimtierausweis packt er ebenfalls ins Köfferchen. Nach einer positiven Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr in Höhe von 250 Euro kann er in sein neues Zuhause ziehen. Vielen Dank Marina J., dass du mit deiner Namenspatenschaft einen wichtigen Teil zur

About Merlino

What life with Merlino looks like

Merlino is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

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 Merlino, answered.

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