Merlin

Male, DSH, approx 5 years old Meet Merlin! This adorable panther is surely living up to his name because we think he is quite magical and we think you will too! Merlin's first days in his foster home...well, we weren't even sure he was a cat but rather an attractive motor of some sort. You see, Merlin purred to himself like he was purring along to his favorite song on repeat -- he even purrs while he sleeps! Then, there was the time that Merlin *POOF!* - magically transported himself from his foster room to the couch with the resident cats unbeknownst to his foster parents. He moves in mysterious ways! We do think that sunlight is part of his magical equation, because Merlin enjoys some nap time in the afternoon sun, and that seems to give him magical powers that give him evening energy. Magic, we say. Pure solar witchcraft. On a more mere mortal level, Merlin finds joy and excitement in Every. Single. New. Thing. you gift him. An active believer in practicing gratitude, he is constantly showing his appreciation for the home life. He doles out snuggles and cuddles like no other. Merlin loves to say hello and will happily respond to any of your chatter with magical meows. In fact, if he sees you, he will stop whatever he is doing to come up and see what you are up to! He's fantastically friendly! For fun, Merlin enjoys savoring Churus, indulging in cat nip, scratching his scratching pad, playing with magic wands, and hanging out with his people! So, bring some magic into your life and home! Apply to adopt Merlin today! _____________________ If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application. If the animal has "HAS APPLICATION" listed, they are still available to receive additional applications but also may be in the process of being adopted soon. Apply for a CAT: https://www.citydogsrescuedc.org/adoptable-cats.html City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC. We do not have a shelter. CDCK has a thorough adoption process to find the best possible fit for each of our dogs and cats. Upon accepting a new cat or dog into the organization, we provide a basic vet visit that includes necessary vaccinations, disease screenings, deworming, microchips, and spay/neuter for dogs six months and older. We do not provide a comprehensive medical exam before adoption. As a result, sickness, injury, and disability may exist unbeknownst to CDCK. City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is not responsible for payment of any vet care, including known and unknown medical conditions once a cat or dog is adopted from us. Cat specific vetting: Rabies, FVRCP. Cats are tested for FIV and FeLV, when age appropriate, but not when born to a FELV/FIV negative mother in foster care. Kittens have age-appropriate vetting to date, which includes deworming, microchip, and the first FVRCP vaccine. Kittens born in care to a negative mother will not receive a FIV/FeLV test. An adopter will need to agree to cover costs of spay/neuter when he/she is age-appropriate (usually 16-20 weeks) and will need to continue his/her kitten vaccines (including rabies) as he/she grows older. Kittens under 12 weeks of age must be adopted in pairs or to a home with friendly resident feline. They will not be considered as singles.
