Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

This adorable house panther is our friend, Merlin. This sweet guy and his brother, Bentley were found as sweet, stray kitties and taken care of by a kind person until we had room for them at the shelter. Merlin has an estimated birth date of 4/4/25 so he's just 10 months old. This guy is so incredibly sweet, patient and loving, and his brother is the same way! Since coming to us he has gained a lot of fans. He's a really laid back guy who loves to play and get as much attention as possible. His BFF is his brother, Bentley. The two of them are so entertaining as they roam, wrestle and play when they are given the opportunity. They have a ball with crinkle toys, furry mice and spring toys. They also cannot resist a wand toy with feathers. Both boys truly have the most wonderful dispositions and they are so excited for love and pets anytime someone new visits with them. Both Merlin and Bentley LOVE kitty food in pouches, like broths that have chunks of fish and chicken in them. If you keep these cuties in a supply of those pouches, you will have made friends for life! Both boys are very well-behaved, sweet guys, and both are on the flirty side. When they get pets, they will flop down and show you their adorable bellies. Anyone who adopts these cuties will be head over heels in love in no time. It's not a requirement, but it would be WONDERFUL if the boys could be adopted together as they truly are the best of friends. Kittens adopted in pairs (older kittens like them too) do so much better than singletons. They have less behavioral issues, entertain one another, are generally happier and you save two lives instead of one! It's the perfect arrangement! These sweet boys would do just fine being the only two kitties in a home, or moving into a home with existing kitties in the home. They haven't been around dogs since coming to us, but considering their sweet dispositions they would likely do just fine with a gentle, cat-friendly dog. Merlin would LOVE the company of a child and would be a best buddy for a kind child who loves to play with, and spend lots of time with him! Would you like to meet the sweet as can be, Merlin and hopefully Bentley ? If so, please complete an application and schedule a meet and greet once you're approved.
