1. Merlin
Kitten (3 months 16 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)




Meet Merlin!
Merlin and his littermates were found as tiny, orphaned kittens not yet old enough to survive on their own. Thankfully they were brought to a volunteer who specializes in bottle-feeding the smallest of kittens, then when they were big enough to eat on their own a new Cats Cradle foster took over.
Merlin is a friendly, gentle little guy with a ton of playful energy. He likes to play with toys and his brothers, loves attention and exploring, and is very affectionate.

Adopting a cat in Ventura County
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
