Story
Marilyn says If you can't handle her at her worst, then you sure as heck don't deserve her at her best.Poor Marilyn was rescued from a hoarding situation in Woodbridge. She had a rough start in life, living in squalor and fighting for food. When she came to us she was shut down and suffering from mites. After treatment she looks a lot better and has regained some personality, but it may take a little more time before she trusts humans again. Marilyn is a beautiful black and white tuxedo cat with a beauty mark on her face, hence the name. She's not quite long haired but she's got a bit of extra fluff on her tail. She is pretty shy and doesn't know what to make of humans at the moment but we hope with some patience and TLC she will come around. If you have experience working with cats that need love, please consider giving Marilyn another chance.Marilyn is up to date on vaccinations, tests negative for FIV and FELV, and has been spayed and microchipped. If you are a superstar and want to give this poor girl another chance apply at https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=meridenhumanesociety&method=online_form_html&formid=28

Story
Meet Mafia – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Forever HomeMafia is a sweet senior gentleman with a heart as big as his head-butts. Once you earn his trust, he’s all about affection — he loves being petted and is a champion at giving slow, loving head nudges that say “you’re my person now.”Mafia hasn’t had the easiest start in life. After surviving a hard time on the streets, he was rescued and has bravely made it through a medical journey that included polyp removal and dental work. He’s feeling much better now and is thriving — especially at mealtime, because this boy is a great eater!He can be a bit shy when first meeting new people, but with patience and a gentle approach, Mafia warms up and shows his incredibly loving nature. He would do best in a calm, quiet home with someone who understands that trust is earned — and deeply rewarding.Mafia prefers to be the center of attention and isn’t a big fan of other cats. However, he may be okay sharing space with another low-key, respectful pet who won’t invade his boundaries.If you’re looking for a loyal companion, a soft presence by your side, and a cat who will show his love in the most tender ways once he feels safe, Mafia might just be your perfect match.Senior. Survivor. Sweetheart.Mafia is ready for the peaceful, loving home he’s always deserved.Apply at https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=meridenhumanesociety&method=online_form_html&formid=28

Story
Sandy is a stunning ginger and white beauty with a heart as warm as her sunset-colored fur. Outgoing, affectionate, and endlessly curious, Sandy loves to be where the action is—whether that's sunbathing in the coziest spot by the window or curling up in your lap, purring contentedly as you stroke her soft coat.Pica is a quiet soul with a delicate spirit. She's shy at first, preferring cozy hideaways and quiet moments, but with time and gentle patience, she blossoms. Once she feels safe, you’ll find she enjoys soft pets and cozy naps nearby.Sandy is currently on an IBD diet, prescribed by our Vet and has her weight monitored regularly. She would do best in a low key environment, where other animals do not stress her out.

Story
Sybil is a gentle, soft-hearted girl who’s still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. Naturally shy, she prefers to take things at her own pace and will need a patient, understanding home that’s willing to give her the time and space she needs to truly blossom. New environments and people can feel overwhelming at first, but with kindness and consistency, Sybil slowly begins to come out of her shell.Sybil would do best in a home with older children who can respect her boundaries and understand her need for a calm, predictable environment. While she may be timid at heart, she has an incredibly high play drive—once she’s comfortable, she transforms into an enthusiastic, energetic companion who can happily play for hours.For the right home willing to give her time and understanding, Sybil will become a truly special and devoted friend.
