Mero

Male · Young · 1 year

Florecilla and Mero are in a foster home, which has sent the following message: Hello dear animal shelter, we are already 1 week in our foster home. We both are still shy, where as I, Mero, sometimes let myself be stroked. At the sound of a noise, we sometimes jump a little. Florecilla does not let herself be stroked, she likes to hide behind the sofa. Occasionally, she peeks out from the sofa with a long neck to see where the foster mom is. When the foster mom is not there, we also like to rearrange the apartment.

Florecilla und Mero sind in einer Pflegestelle untergebracht, die uns folgende Nachricht geschickt hat: Hallo Liebes Tierheim, wir sind morgen schon 1 Woche in unserem Pflege Zuhause. Wir beide sind noch scheu, wo bei ich Mero mich ab und an mal Streicheln lasse. Bei Geräuschen zucken wir ab und an mal zusammen. Florecilla lässt sich nicht streicheln, versteckt sich gerne hinter dem Sofa. Ab und an mal schaut sie mit langem Kopf aus dem Sofa raus, um zu sehen wo die Pflegemama ist. Wenn die Pflegemama nicht da ist, dann stellen wir auch gerne die Wohnung um.

About Mero

What life with Mero looks like

Mero is a small young adult cat waiting at Tierheim Mayen in Mayen.

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 Mero, answered.

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