About Merlot

Merlot is a three-year-old female brown tabby who tips the scales at around 7 lbs. While she might come off as shy at first, once she feels comfortable, she really blossoms. Merlot loves to be petted and is affectionate once you gain her trust. Importantly, she’s front-clawed declawed, so her new home must be a strictly indoor environment to keep her safe. The adoption fee of $45 covers her spay surgery, vaccinations, and a registered microchip. Merlot's adoption requirements include being at least 18 years old. Landlord approval is essential for renters, and any other pets in the home must be spayed or neutered. You can come by for a meet & greet weekdays from 10:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Ready to fall in love?
