About this Cat
Magic Merlin is a sweetheart and a snuggle bug looking for a mellow home. He's so great, he deserves his own show: "Everybody Loves Merlin!" Merlin is all about spending time with his people, and once he is comfortable in his space he will never be far from your side. He loves pets and belly rubs, and will snuggle next to you any chance he gets. This affectionate little guy will happily be your movie companion and coworker. If you work from home, he loves a comfy little spot near your desk, and will occasionally hop on calls with you to make sure the boss is treating you right! Don’t think that Merlin is just a couch potato though! At about 4 years old, he is in his prime and loves to play. He gets especially excited about chasing lures and wand toys, giving him a chance to show off his impressive vertical jumps! Merlin does need help managing his health, and is on a prescription diet to support his kidneys' health, as he has mild kidney disease. He is also FIV positive, and has an autoimmune condition known as Pillowfoot, which if left untreated can cause swelling or cracks on the paw pads. These conditions are permanent, but are well controlled with medication and his diet. Mixing his meds in with his wet food once a day keeps Merlin in prime snuggling shape! He loves his treats and food, but is respectful about waiting for mealtimes. Once he sees the food come out he gets excited and vocal, and isn’t shy about letting you know the food in your hands is better off safe in his tummy. Merlin came to PAWS as a stray, and we aren't sure if he has previously lived with other pets or children. Merlin will go home with a THREE MONTH CARE PACKAGE, including his medication and special diet! Age: ~4-6 years old How I came to PAWS: found stray Animal ID#: A179403 Location: foster care. Please email [email protected] to learn more about this kitty! **FIV is specific to the feline species, and is not transmissible to dogs, humans, or any other animals. It is spread from cat to cat via mating or deep puncture bite wounds. Thankfully, all our cats are spayed or neutered so mating is no longer an option! Since FIV does not spread through casual contact like grooming, sneezing, and food/litter sharing, FIV+ cats can live with other cats that have tested negative as long as the cats get along without fighting.
Contribute to Merlin's Stash!
100% of Merlin's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Merlin.
Adopt Merlin and Receive Merlin's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Merlin's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Merlin's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Merlin, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Merlin's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Merlin was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Merlin’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Merlin’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Merlin’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
