Hi, I'm Merry! I'm a long-haired tabby girl with the spirit of a Took and the zoomies of a pony fleeing the Black Riders. One minute I'm racing through the house like I just discovered second breakfast, and the next I'm demanding affection as if it's my birthright (because it is). I'm wild, I'm chaotic, and I absolutely choose adventure. I'll climb, leap, sprint, and cause just enough mischief to keep life interesting -- but don't let that fool you. When I'm done being brave and ridiculous, I love affection. Pets? Yes. Scratches? Obviously. Being told I'm the prettiest creature in all of Middle-earth? Required. I'd thrive in a home that understands that hobbits are small but mighty, spirited but loving. Give me toys to conquer, windows to survey the Shire from, and a human who appreciates a girl with main-character energy and I'll pledge my loyalty to you faster than you can say "You bow to no one." If you're looking for a fluffy little adventurer who will bring chaos, charm, and a whole lot of love into your fellowship -- I'm ready to leave the Shire and make your home my forever journey!________________________________________________ If you would like to meet one of our adoptables or learn more about them, please submit an application at https://animalrescueneworleans.org/adoptfoster/. **Note: Our shelter is open by scheduled appointment only after your application is approved.
