Domestic Long Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Meet Merlot

Merlot is an 8-month-old spayed female (born end of August 2025), up to date on vaccines and ready to find her forever home.

This gorgeous girl has a soft, medium smoky gray coat with silvery undertones that seem to shimmer in the light. Her fur is slightly darker along her back and tail, fading into lighter misty gray through her body, and she carries a full, fluffy plumed tail that matches her gentle, elegant look.

Personality-wise, Merlot is a sweet and playful young cat who really shines once she feels comfortable. She enjoys spending her time lounging in her window seat, watching birds, and keeping herself entertained. She also loves playing with other cats and would thrive in a home with feline friends.

With new people, Merlot can be shy at first and needs a calm, patient approach with slow movements and a gentle voice go a long way in earning her trust. She isn't a fan of being picked up, but once she feels safe, she will happily come curl up beside you and enjoy quiet companionship and pets. She has the sweetest little meow and a noticeably loud, content purr when she's happy.

She would do best in a quieter home, ideally with adults or older, cat-savvy children who understand her need for patience and space. She gets along very well with other cats. Dogs are unknown, but with proper introductions, she may adjust well over time.

Merlot would be especially happy if she could be adopted with her brother, Mocha, as a built-in companion, as she enjoys the comfort and confidence of having another friendly cat nearby.

Merlot is a gentle soul who just needs a little time to bloom and once she does, she's incredibly rewarding to have by your side.
