My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🪄 Merlin: Wizard of Whiskers & Snack Time 🪄

Meet Merlin, a dashing long-haired tuxedo (around 1.5–2 years old) who’s mastered the ancient magic of being very handsome and knowing it. He’s a friendly guy who enjoys human attention and coexisting with other cats—but prefers them more as roommates than besties. Snuggle sessions and wrestling matches are strictly optional.

Merlin can get a little overstimulated and may give a polite (but firm) nip when he’s done, so he’s best suited for a cat-savvy home with kids 12+ who understand when a wizard needs his space. Read the signals, respect the fluff, and you’ll be golden.

Now let’s talk about Merlin’s true passion: food. This boy is a certified foodie who believes treats are a love language and mealtime is the most magical moment of the day. If you’re looking for a charming, fluffy companion with personality, boundaries, and a healthy appreciation for snacks, Merlin might just be your spellbinding match. 🖤🐾✨

Please be sure to read a cat's full bio before applying! We do our best to keep bios updated as we learn more about each cat or as circumstances change. The bio is the best place to find the most current and important information about their needs, personality, and ideal home.
