How do I contact the shelter about Rose & Merlin?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Hattersheim und Umgebung e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rose & Merlin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Rose & Merlin if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Hattersheim und Umgebung 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 Rose & Merlin 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 Rose & Merlin 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 Tierschutzverein Hattersheim und Umgebung e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rose & Merlin and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Rose & Merlin

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Rose (w/k, geb. ~6/2024) and Merlin (m/k, geb. ca. 06/2022) Our lovely Rose came to us as a stray. Initially, she was shy and cautious around people, but she has since warmed up and is full of life. She enjoys attention, loves to play, and is showing more and more of her affectionate side. Rose is a slender cat with a gentle nature. She is already showing early signs that a dental treatment may be necessary later. Therefore, we recommend considering a suitable pet insurance policy early on. Merlin also came to us as a stray. The handsome tomcat is not only large and elegant but also extremely affectionate and talkative. He enjoys every caress, actively seeks the closeness of his humans, and loves to receive attention. Initially, Merlin's liver values were not quite in order, so he had to take medication for some time. However, it was suspected that this was stress-related, and a follow-up check showed that everything is now back in the green zone. Merlin and Rose have met and fallen in love at the shelter and are now looking for a home together with later outdoor access in a quiet, rural area.

Rose (w/k, geb. ~6/2024) und Merlin (m/k, geb. ca. 06/2022) Unsere hübsche Rose kam als Fundkatze zu uns ins Tierheim. Anfangs zeigte sie sich dem Menschen gegenüber noch schüchtern und vorsichtig – doch inzwischen ist sie richtig aufgetaut und dreht voller Lebensfreude auf. Sie genießt Aufmerksamkeit, spielt gerne und zeigt immer mehr ihre verschmuste Seite. Rose ist eine zierliche Katze mit sanftem Wesen. Bei ihr zeigen sich bereits erste Anzeichen, dass später einmal eine Zahnbehandlung notwendig werden könnte. Daher empfehlen wir, frühzeitig über eine passende Tierversicherung nachzudenken. Merlin kam ebenfalls als Fundkater zu uns. Der hübsche Kater ist nicht nur groß und elegant, sondern auch ausgesprochen verschmust und redselig. Er genießt jede Streicheleinheit, sucht aktiv die Nähe seiner Menschen und liebt es, Aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen. Anfangs waren Merlins Leberwerte nicht ganz in Ordnung, so dass er einige Zeit Tabletten einnehmen musste. Der Verdacht lag allerdings nahe, dass dies stressbedingt war und eine Nachkontrolle zeigte, dass nun alles wieder im grünen Bereich ist. Merlin und Rose haben sich im Tierheim kennen und lieben gelernt und suchen nun zusammen ein Zuhause mit späterem Freigang in ruhiger, ländlicher Umgebung.
