Merlin

Meet Merlin, the most magical black cat! He is wise beyond his years and extremely intelligent. Merlin is a quick study when it comes to learning your routine, he wants to know all the right moments to come cuddle on the couch or in bed with you. He loves pets and is very polite when asking by gently head butting your hand or performing soft little chirps. Merlin loves to be as close to the ceiling as possible, even if that just means taking a walk around while he lays on your shoulders, it makes him feel like he’s floating! He is extremely affectionate with his person and gets along well with other cats. His favorite places to be pet are on top of the head, under his chin, and base of his tail. Merlin is an old soul who would prefer just sleeping or being near you as opposed to active play time. He is kind and sweet and would make a great companion for anyone looking for a cat to give all their love to! Merlin was born February 10, 2025. <br/><br/>If you live in Chicago and are interested in learning more about Merlin, please contact Toni McNaughton at tonimcn@rcn.com and Lisa Ward at catladychicago@yahoo.com. Please tell us a bit about your situation, what you are looking for, the composition of your current household (the other humans and/or pets who already live there). Inquires with these questions answered are responded to promptly.<br/><br/>We are always in need of foster homes. If you are not able to adopt, but are interested in fostering or know someone who might be, we would love to hear from you!
