Domestic Medium Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Marietta, Georgia

Merlin – ID #18890 – Kennel #664 – Arrived May 10th (Stray) – Domestic Medium Hair Mix – Black – Male – Approx. 9–12 Months Old – 9.3 lbs (Estimated Adult Weight: 10–13 lbs) – Will Be Neutered Prior to Adoption – Up to Date on Vaccines – FIV/FeLV Negative

Meet Merlin, an approximately nine-to-twelve-month-old black Domestic Medium Hair mix who arrived at Cobb Animal Services as a stray on May 10th. He is a breathtaking cat — jet black from head to tail, with a soft, semi-long coat, a magnificently plumed tail, and a pair of vivid golden eyes that seem to glow. His name suits him perfectly: there is something undeniably magical about him.

Merlin came in as a stray, so his full story is unknown — but he is young, he is beautiful, and he has his whole life ahead of him. At roughly nine to twelve months old, he is still coming into himself, with that slightly wispy, adolescent quality that tells you the most striking version of Merlin is still on its way.

Black cats are among the most overlooked in shelters, passed over time and again for no good reason. Merlin deserves better than that. Those golden eyes, that dramatic coat, that regal presence — this is a cat who would be the crown jewel of any home lucky enough to have him.

Merlin is FIV/FeLV negative, up to date on his vaccines, and will be neutered prior to adoption. He is young, he is stunning, and he is ready for a home that will see him for exactly what he is — something truly special. If you have been waiting for a cat worth believing in, Merlin is your answer.

Note - all the listings on Friends of Shelter Animals for Cobb are done by volunteers. If this cat or dog came in as a lost animal, we do not know how they might be with children, other pets, or if house trained. You can bring your pet to the shelter for a meet & greet with your potential new best friend. When inquiring about a cat or dog, please use THE ID NUMBER.

The Domestic Medium Hair cat is a versatile and beloved breed known for its medium length coat that comes in a wide range of colors and patterns. These affectionate and playful cats are often found in shelters, as they are not a recognized breed but rather a classification for cats of mixed ancestry. Despite their mixed heritage, Domestic Medium Hairs possess unique personalities and make wonderful companions for families and individuals looking for a loving feline companion.
