About Merlin

Meet Merlin - The Wizard of Invisibility! Have you ever wished your house came with a fluffy decorative cloud? Merlin is here to make that dream a reality. This gorgeous long-haired gentleman has perfected the ancient art of being seen but not heard. In fact, we're not entirely convinced he knows how to meow. He's so quiet that you'll occasionally find yourself checking he's still in the room... only to discover he's been peacefully watching you the entire time from the cosiest bed in the house. Merlin is an introvert through and through. He isn't interested in parties, loud roommates, or dramatic entrances. His ideal day involves a comfy bed, a peaceful home, and pretending to be part of the furniture. When he's feeling brave, he'll happily let you wrap him in a blanket for a cuddle and enjoy some gentle pats, but he'd much rather build trust at his own pace than be the centre of attention. He's searching for a calm, understanding home without dogs or young children, where he can slowly discover that humans aren't so bad after all. With a little patience (and a good selection of fluffy beds), Merlin just might reveal the sweet, gentle boy hiding beneath all that magnificent floof. Please note that submitting an application or booking a meet-and-greet does not reserve a cat; as we receive multiple applications, the cat you're interested in may be adopted before your visit
