Meet the magnificent Merrick! 🐾 This gentle giant is taking a little vacation from the hustle and bustle of the shelter to enjoy the luxurious home life, and he’s on a quest to find his forever family! With a big heart that matches his larger-than-life personality, Merrick has the sweetest, soulful eyes that will melt anyone's heart. ❤️ Now, Merrick may be a laid-back lad, but oh, how he adores gentle affection! There's nothing he loves more than a soothing brush through his luxurious black fur—if only humans could be as calming as that! 🐈‍⬛ While he might not be fond of being picked up and carried around like a prized trophy, this lovely feline just wants to be near you while you pet him with tender love. This wonderful boy enjoys all sorts of toys and is playful enough to spark joy in the calmest of living rooms! However, he’s not the biggest fan of raucous playtime with overly rowdy kitties, so he’s looking for a peaceful environment where he can coexist with another mellow cat if that’s in the cards! And truth be told, young, busy kids? Not quite his vibe. Merrick is seeking a mature, loving home where life is a bit calmer—a zen oasis to match his serene spirit. 🧘‍♂️ At 10 years young and weighing in at a hefty 23 pounds, Merrick might be considered a senior kitty, but honey, he still has so much love to give! So if anyone is looking to add a sweet old soul to their life, this charming gentleman is ready to fill your home with warmth and tranquility. Let Merrick be a part of your heart and your home!
