Description:
Merrin is a stunning girl with velvety soft fur and a rare blend of brown tabby and tortoiseshell coloring that makes her truly one of a kind. She was found alone on a college campus after winter break, wandering in search of food when the students had all left and the campus had gone quiet. Hungry and unsure, Merrin was thankfully rescued before the cold and isolation took a greater toll. Understandably, Merrin is shy when first meeting new people. But once she feels safe, her true personality shines through—she becomes affectionate, gentle, and deeply appreciative of kindness. She shows her gratitude in quiet ways: soft head bumps, leaning into pets, and staying close to the people she trusts. Merrin would thrive in a peaceful home without small children, where she can settle in at her own pace and feel secure. She’s the perfect companion for someone who understands that love can take time—and who will treasure the special bond that comes from earning the trust of a shy, grateful soul.
