About Merlin

Merlin is a 10-month-old tuxedo cat with a reserved, shy nature—timid at first, but worth the patience. He grew up in a car junkyard, which explains some of his cautiousness, yet once he feels at home, he becomes an exceptional snuggle partner. Call his name softly and he’ll let you scoop him up for a cuddle. When happy, Merlin purrs like a small engine and even drools a bit, pure contentment in your arms. Gentle hands and calm voices help him open up, and over time, his trust leads to a truly warm bond. Merlin gets along with both dogs and cats, so he could join a multi-pet home. He’s house trained, neutered, and his vaccinations are current. Adoption includes microchipping, flea and worm treatments. Ready to help Merlin settle in? Click apply to start the adoption process.
