Murlina

Scottish Fold · Female · Adult · 4 years

Hello, I am Murlina! I've been at the animal shelter since: April 22, 2025, Private Placement: Apartment - living together with Murlina (25170). Companionship: I will only move into a new home together with BONITO (25196)! Other cats or animals in general are not so appealing to me, and I don't really like children either... So, I am: At first, I was very moody, skeptical, and reserved... now I have already become friendly with my caretakers and enjoy cuddles and cozy time in pairs. I am not a cuddly cat and probably will never be. If you get too close too quickly, I will hiss and show my claws. Note: Calm household, no children!!! Important: Suffering from OCD (Osteochondrodysplasia) - a genetic disease that causes changes in cartilage and bones. Symptoms include lameness, stiffness, and behavioral changes. Already requires regular pain medication.

Hallo, ich bin MURLINA! Im Tierheim seit: 22.04.2025, Privatabgabe Unterbringung: Wohnung - gemeinsam mit MURLINA (25170) Gesellschaft: Ich werde nur mit BONITO (25196) gemeinsam in ein neues Zuhause ziehen! Andere Katzen sind mir nicht so geheuer, auch Kinder mag ich nicht so gerne... So bin ich: Anfangs war ich sehr launisch, skeptisch und zurückhaltend... mittlerweile habe ich mich schon mit meinen Pfleger/innen angefreundet und freue mich über Streicheleinheiten und gemütliches Beisammensein in Zweisamkeit. Eine richtige Schmusekatze bin ich aber nach wie vor nicht und werde ich vermutlich auch nie werden. Kommst du mir zu schnell zu nahe, fauche ich und zeige auch mal die Krallen. Hinweis: Ruhiger Haushalt, keine Kinder!!! Wichtig: Bonito leidet rassebedingt an OCD (Osteochondrodysplasie) - genetische Krankheit, die Knorpel- und Skelettveränderungen auslöst. Symptome sind Schmerzen des gesamten Bewegungsapparates (benötigt bereits Schmerzmittel).

About Murlina

What life with Murlina looks like

Murlina is a medium-sized adult scottish fold cat waiting at Tierheim Wels in Wels.

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.

Note from the shelter: Has OCD (Osteochondrodysplasie) - genetic disease causing cartilage and skeletal changes, lameness, stiffness and behavioral changes. Requires regular pain medication. Must be adopted with companion cat Bonito (25196).

🇦🇹Adopting from Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included.

Frequently asked

Adopting Murlina, answered.

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