Domestic Long Hair Cats Available for Adoption

***BARN CAT

Meet Merlin.

Merlin is a 4-year-old male who arrived as a stray after showing up on a property where a kind citizen tried to help him. While we appreciate the good intentions, Merlin has made it clear that indoor living is not exactly his dream.

He is independent, observant, and very much his own cat. Merlin is not currently seeking lap time or constant handling. What he is interested in? A job.

Merlin would thrive in a barn, workshop, warehouse, or property setting where he can resume his preferred lifestyle — keeping watch, patrolling his territory, and handling rodent control like the professional he is.

He is alert, capable, and intelligent. With time and respect for his boundaries, he may build trust with his humans — but he is not looking to be fussed over. He is looking for purpose and space.

Merlin would do best in:
• A barn or working cat placement
• A property with safe shelter and consistent food
• A home that respects his independence

If you’re looking for a dedicated pest patrol officer rather than a couch companion, Merlin may be exactly who you need.

Vetting Information:
Merlin is neutered, FIV/FeLV tested, microchipped, dewormed, and current on all core vaccinations and preventatives. He has received a full veterinary exam and is healthy and ready for placement.
