About Merlin older kitten

Meet Merlin, one half of a dynamic duo alongside his brother Lancelot. These sleek nine-month-old solid black kittens are ready to charm their way into your heart. Rescued from a rough start on the streets, they've been raised by a police officer, which gives them a unique respect for authority—on their own terms, of course. After a brief but busy stint at a cat café, perfecting their social skills, they've decided it's time to settle down in a fun-loving home. Merlin and Lancelot have an entertaining philosophy: they’re all about the guys. They adore male companions, welcoming them as instant best friends. However, they've made it clear—they are not fans of women and will let you know with little nips. Looking for a home where they can unleash their playful kitten energy, they thrive on high-speed wrestling, late-night adventures, and displaying their remarkable charm while engaging in mischief. These brothers are inseparable and must be adopted together. Already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, they come with all the charm and chaos you’d expect from two sprightly kittens. If you're ready to welcome these two little gentlemen into your life, they would love to hear from you!
