Merida is a young, spayed female calico cat, about 1 year old. She has a medium build and a short coat, and she's house trained.

About Merida

Merida is a gentle soul, much like the Disney princess she’s named after. This lovely 1-year-old calico cat arrived at our shelter when her previous owner could no longer care for her. Initially shy, it didn’t take long for her sweet personality to shine through. With a bit of patience and kindness, you’ll see her begin to respond, peeking out for attention and even rolling over for some extra head scratches. She gets along well with other cats, but Merida would prefer a dog-free home as she’s not fond of canines. If you’re ready to offer a quiet, loving environment to this sweet girl, she will reward you with a truly special bond. Could this lovely princess be the perfect addition to your kingdom? Merida’s adoption fee is $50, supporting her medical care as she prepares to find her forever home.
