We scooped Merry up and swept him out of an overpopulated NYC shelter. He (Merry with and "e," not an "a") is the sweetest, gentlest meatball ever. He loves to be pet, held and, if you tell him he's the prettiest boy you've ever met, he'll be your BFF 4ever. He seems to get along with other cats and we believe he would be fine in a home with children of all ages. If you are looking for a big handsome stud he is your guy.
