Description:
***\ My foster family says `(A1756956) Merlin is a member of the Spectacular Six, a wonderful stray litter of six kittens that arrived at the shelter needing a little TLC and was swiftly taken in by a foster family. Merlin is a handsome white and gray kitten. On the first night he was bewildered and frightened, huddling with his littermates for comfort, but within a day he was found outside the kitten pen, twice! This quickly earned him the name âMerlin the Magicianâ. Close scrutiny of the CCTV revealed Merlin was a feline spring and daredevil. He had found an escape route and was making huge leaps for a kitten his size. Merlin is smart, determined, and persistent. Merlinsâ initial anxiety started to fade almost immediately as he explored his new surroundings. He gained free run of the room for himself and his siblings. Merlin also delights in running, jumping, climbing, and wrestling with her littermates and pouncing on his favorite toy. Merlin has adjusted well to changing surroundings, experiences, and loves exploring his environment providing mental and physical stimulation. Once settled in with his new environment, we let Merlin take his time to engage us at his own pace, which was pretty quick. With reassuring interactions and gently handling trust was established. He enjoys lying next to us and being petted which produces soft purring. Within a few weeks, the once coy kitten was out of his shell. Merlin can still be startled by unfamiliar sounds, but curiosity and tenacity quickly overtake the situation. Upon entering the room he comes to engage us with inquisitiveness, to see what we have brought. Merlin travels well in a carrier/vehicle, was easy to handle during vet visits, and his socialization skills will continue to develop with a good family. Merlin is ready for his next chapter: finding an adoptive family who will cherish and spoil him endlessly. Thank you for choosing adoption!`***
