*This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.*
Merlin is a sweet senior with so much love left to give. For 13 years, he lived his entire life with his owner, who recently moved into assisted living and, unfortunately, could no longer care for him. After spending some time in a relative’s home—where he had to be separated from a kitty who didn’t care for him—Merlin is now overjoyed to be snuggled up with his foster parents.
He’s full of purrs, full of rubs, and full of love. And don’t be fooled—13 is the new 2! Merlin wants nothing more than to be your best friend. Won’t you give him a chance? If you do, he just might show you a few of his wizard tricks!
Merlin is from an owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page.
If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
