Merlo & Kiko

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

by Cattery | Oct 17, 2026 | Cats, Liverpool, Male, Cats, Liverpool, Male, Pairs - Groups Both of these beautiful boys are around 3 years, 7 months old. They were surrendered to the cattery as their owner struggling to afford to keep them. Merlo (Black nose) is the more confident of the two and definitely leads from the front. He’s super affectionate and loves interaction with any human that comes his way! Kiko (pink nose) is still rather confident but definitely more reserved than his brother. The two of them together make a unique duo and have heaps of character. They’re neutered, vaccinated and up to date with their flea and worm treatments. Now all they need is another chance at a furrmily and a place to call home. We think that they would be fine to live with other cats (given the correct introductions and personality of the other cat/s in the home) We also think they might be able to live with some cat savvy children.

About Merlo & Kiko

What life with Merlo & Kiko looks like

Merlo & Kiko is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Freshfields Animal Rescue in Liverpool.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Merlo & Kiko, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Merlo & Kiko?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Freshfields Animal Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Merlo & Kiko on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Merlo & Kiko if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Freshfields Animal Rescue 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Merlo & Kiko 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 Merlo & Kiko 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 Freshfields Animal Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Merlo & Kiko 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
