My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Hi I'm Merlin,  If you’re looking for a cat who believes love is the greatest spell of all, then I think we’re about to become something special. I’m a friendly boy with a soft soul, and the moment I see you, I can’t help but come close, hoping you’ll reach out and let your hand find its way to my fur.

I adore being stroked, rubbed, fussed over — honestly, I just want to be loved. I lean in, I close my eyes, I purr like I’m casting a charm, because every bit of affection feels like magic to me.

I’m not shy about wanting attention. I’ve been waiting for someone who will see me, choose me, and let me be their loyal companion. I have so much love to give, and I’m ready to give it all to the person who finally says, “You’re home now, Merlin.”

Estimated Birthdate:  3/17/2016

Likes:  Putting spells on people, so they'll pet me.

Dislikes:  People who won't come close enough to cast the spell.

To schedule a meet/greet with this pawsome kitty, we recommend that you complete a Pre-Adoption Application which is available here:   https://www.shelteringhands.org/adoptionapplication

For additional information, email our Adoptions Team at adoptions@shelteringhands.org.  Once applications are approved the Adoptions Team will coordinate the best way for you to get your new furry family member and bring them home.
