Cat located in this city: South Daytona
Cat’s Name: Merlin
Cat’s Age & Sex: Male, estimated at 2 yrs
Cat’s vetting history (spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped): Merlin is neutered and up to date on shots.
Animals story: (where found and reason for wanting to rehome): Merlin was initially seen in a parking lot, likely left behind by someone. He was very elusive for the first month but started popping up more regularly near a colony close by. He was very scared and did not integrate with the colony cats, choosing to keep to himself until he was finally trapped, neutered and vaccinated as an outdoor cat (ear tip). When he was ready to be released back to the area, the trapper/foster just couldn’t. He’s much too cute and scared to go back outside so he’s now under foster care.
Personality (shy, social, likes to be held, lap cat? Likes or dislikes): After a month, Merlin is still very shy but appears to want to be with the other cats in the house. He seems like he could become friendly and trusting in the right home but would need time to warm up (and likely a small room where he could slowly integrate to his new home and housemates). He would do best in a home with patient humans but he’s so gorgeous and has the most loving face (think: Puss in Boots holding his hat). We think he will be worth the patience.
Any Supplies that go with pet (food, litter, leash, cat box, bedding, toys): Some food to help with transition.
What food is the cat eating (dry only, dry and wet): Merlin LOVES his wet food and that’s his main diet. He’s not really into dry but he nibbles throughout the day.
:::::::::::Please know that cats need canned wet food given DAILY. Why? Because cats have a low thirst drive and actually NEED the moisture from the wet food! Wet food is 75 % water (dry FOOD only 10%) and giving them wet food daily will help them avoid Urinary tract issues (which can lead to litter box avoidance), kidney disease, obesity issues linked to diabetes and cardiac issues. You will save on vet bills too! Limit the overly processed dry food and ensure cat eats all the wet food daily. At the VERY minimum each cat should get one 3oz. can of wet food a day or HALF of a 5.5oz. can a day (although we recommend double this).

IF YOU WANT TO ADOPT:
1) Please show up with a cat carrier
2) Small adoption fee of: $25
3) I will call/text one month from adoption day just to make sure everything is going well
4) Please show up with your Driver's License.
5) Information sheet will be filled out (your information as well as mine)
*Please know, that when you bring your newly adopted cat or kitten home, it is always BEST to place him/her in a very small room (bathroom works great) with their litter box, food, water, and bed for a few days to a few weeks. This way the animal can adjust much quicker and get acclimated to the new environment with less stress. All cats/kittens need time to adjust, so if you adopt please allow this. Thank you.
