Mert 🐾

Male · Kitten · 6 months

Mert (male) 🎂 Approximate birthday: May 2026 📌 Location: Cyprus, on PS 🏡 Living situation: no unsecured outdoor access, no solitary housing Hello, I am Mert! One day I was standing next to a trash can 🗑️ looking for something edible. I was alone, hungry and hoping for help. But then someone saw me and took me in, which completely changed my life. Now I live in safety, have enough food and am cared for. I have discovered how wonderful it is to sleep in a soft and warm bed 🛏️... and the delicious food 🥘 first! And there are always friendly hands 🙌 nearby to gently stroke me. Sometimes I wonder what my life will be like in 1 year. Maybe I will have a favorite spot on the windowsill 🪟 or a sofa 🛋️ where my humans sit next to me and smile at me kindly because they love me 🥰. I don't want anything extraordinary, just a normal life filled with love 🧡. That would be my greatest wish! 🙏🏼 My journey to you will be accompanied by a microchip, vaccinations, FiV/FelV testing and an EU pet passport. ----------------------------------------------------------- Who are the heroes behind Heroes for Cyprus Cats We at Heroes for Cyprus Cats are a dedicated team of animal lovers from Cyprus, Germany, Austria and Switzerland who are committed to the welfare of street cats in Cyprus. Our goal is to improve the lives of these cats sustainably. Our local team in Cyprus feeds, neuters and cares for sick or injured cats on the streets and in colonies. If necessary, we bring them to foster families where they wait in a safe environment for their family. We also maintain a strong online presence, handle inquiries from adopters and provide support at the airport. Street cats in Cyprus suffer greatly and are often victims of car accidents or cruel mistreatment. Many simply starve or die from diseases that are not treated. We save them from this sad fate and work tirelessly to find a loving, safe home for our rescued cats. We place great value on a collegial, transparent and respectful relationship within our team and with potential adopters. For us, adopting a cat is just the beginning. We are committed to supporting our rescued cats and their new families for a lifetime. Together we make a difference, for every single cat.

🐈 Name: Mert (m) 🎂 Geburtstag: ca. 5/2026 📌 Standort: Zypern, auf PS 🏡 Haltung: kein ungesicherter Freigang, keine Einzelhaltung Hallo, ich bin Mert! Eines Tages stand ich neben einer Mülltonne 🗑️ und suchte nach etwas Essbaren. Ich war allein, hungrig und hoffte auf Hilfe. Doch dann sah mich jemand und nahm mich mit, was mein Leben total veränderte. Nun lebe ich in Sicherheit, habe ausreichend Futter und werde umsorgt. Ich habe herausgefunden, wie herrlich es ist, in einem weichen und warmen Körbchen 🛏️zu schlafen… und das leckere Essen 🥘 erst! Und immer sind freundliche Hände 🙌 in der Nähe, um mich sanft zu streicheln. Manchmal frage ich mich, wie mein Leben wohl in 1 Jahr aussehen wird. Vielleicht werde ich einen Lieblingsplatz auf dem Fensterbrett 🪟haben oder ein Sofa 🛋️, auf dem meine Menschen neben mir sitzen und mich freundlich anlächeln, weil sie mich lieben 🥰. Ich will gar nicht außergewöhnliches, nur ein normales Leben, gefüllt mit Liebe 🧡. Das wäre mein größter Wunsch! 🙏🏼 Meine Reise zu Dir werde ich gechipt, geimpft, auf FiV/FelV getestet und im Besitz eines EU-Heimtierausweis antreten. ------------------------------------------------------------ Wer sind die Helden hinter Heroes for Cyprus Cats Wir von Heroes for Cyprus Cats sind ein engagiertes Team von Tierschützern aus Zypern, Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz, das sich für das Wohl der Straßenkatzen auf Zypern einsetzt. Unser Ziel ist es, das Leben dieser Katzen nachhaltig zu verbessern. Unser lokales Team in Zypern füttert, kastriert und versorgt kranke oder verletzte Katzen auf den Straßen und in den Katzenkolonien. Wenn nötig, bringen wir sie in Pflegefamilien, wo sie in einem sicheren Umfeld auf ihre Familie warten. Darüber hinaus betreuen wir eine starke Online-Präsenz, bearbeiten Anfragen von Adoptanten und leisten Unterstützung am Flughafen. Straßenkatzen in Zypern leiden sehr und werden oft Opfer von Autounfällen oder grausamen Misshandlungen. Viele verhungern einfach nur oder sterben an Krankheiten, die nicht behandelt werden. Wir retten sie vor diesem traurigen Schicksal und arbeiten unermüdlich daran, ein liebevolles, sicheres Zuhause für unsere geretteten Katzen zu finden. Wir legen großen Wert auf ein kollegiales, transparentes und respektvolles Verhältnis innerhalb unseres Teams und zu den potenziellen Adoptanten. Für uns ist die Adoption einer Katze nur der Anfang. Wir verpflichten uns, unsere geretteten Katzen und ihre neuen Familien ein Katzenleben lang zu unterstützen. Gemeinsam machen wir einen Unterschied, für jede einzelne Katze.

About Mert 🐾

What life with Mert 🐾 looks like

Mert 🐾 is a large kitten cat waiting at Heroes for Cyprus Cats / Zypernkatzen in Kirchheim bei München.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mert 🐾, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mert 🐾?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Heroes for Cyprus Cats / Zypernkatzen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mert 🐾 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mert 🐾 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Heroes for Cyprus Cats / Zypernkatzen 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Mert 🐾 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 Mert 🐾 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 Heroes for Cyprus Cats / Zypernkatzen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mert 🐾 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.
