Merrow

Merrow is a confident, self possessed cat with a larger than life personality and a presence that is impossible to ignore. In fact, he has become a staff favorite here at BENCHS, winning hearts with his endless charm, confidence, and hilarious attitude. If you're looking for a cat with character, Merrow is your guy.<br/><br/>Merrow came to BENCHS under difficult circumstances after being severely injured in an attack by another cat in his previous home. When he arrived, he was in rough shape and required extensive care and time to heal. Today, he has made a remarkable recovery and has recovered completely. His resilience and determination have been nothing short of incredible.<br/><br/>Despite everything he has been through, Merrow approaches life with confidence, sass, and curiosity. He carries himself with an almost unbelievable level of self assurance and seems convinced that the entire shelter exists solely for his entertainment. He is highly interactive and loves being involved in whatever is happening around him. Whether he's supervising staff, greeting visitors, investigating your lunch, or making his opinions known, Merrow has a way of becoming the center of attention wherever he goes.<br/><br/>One of the things that makes Merrow so special is how incredibly dog like he is. He doesn't just tolerate affection, he demands it. He is clingy in the very best way and wants to be wherever his people are. If you sit down, expect Merrow to appear. If you're standing nearby, don't be surprised if he launches himself into your arms for cuddles. He absolutely loves being held, snuggled, and doted on, and he makes it very clear when he thinks he deserves more attention.<br/><br/>Merrow is also known for his love of food. In our shelter yearbook, he would easily win both "Class Clown" and "Most Likely to Start a Food Riot." He takes mealtime very seriously and approaches every meal with enthusiasm and determination. Food is one of his great passions in life, right alongside affection and comfortable places to nap.<br/><br/>When he isn't seeking attention or planning his next snack, you'll often find him sprawled across a cozy bed. Merrow loves soft blankets, warm spots, and luxurious naps. He has mastered the art of relaxation and believes every good day should include plenty of cuddles and plenty of sleep.<br/><br/>Merrow is also FIV positive. Cats with FIV can live long, happy, healthy lives with proper veterinary care and a loving home. Because of his FIV status, his history of being attacked by another cat, and his strong personality, Merrow is seeking a home where he can be the only cat. He truly thrives when he doesn't have to share his space, his people, or his food bowl with feline roommates.<br/><br/>For his health and safety, Merrow must also be an indoor only cat. After everything he has been through, he deserves a life filled with soft beds, reliable meals, endless affection, and the security of a safe home.<br/><br/>Simply put, Merrow is one of the coolest orange tomcats you'll ever meet. He is resilient, hilarious, affectionate, food motivated, endlessly entertaining, and overflowing with personality. For the person lucky enough to bring him home, Merrow will be more than just a pet. He will be your shadow, your cuddle buddy, your daily source of laughter, and a companion who fills your home with joy.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a cat who will make you laugh every day, demand to be included in every activity, and love you with his whole heart, Merrow is waiting to meet you.
