Merlot is a beautiful 3 year old orange and brown tabby with a soft spirit and a sweet, bashful nature. She is a reserved girl who prefers to take her time getting to know new people and places. Once she feels safe, her quiet charm begins to shine through. This lovely lady is looking for a calm, stable home where she can settle in at her own pace and on her own terms. Merlot will truly thrive with someone who understands that trust grows slowly -- and patience, consistency, and kindness are the keys to her heart. If you believe in giving gentle cats the space and reassurance they need to blossom, Merlot may be your perfect match. She's ready for a fresh start with someone who sees her for who she is: a tender, sensitive companion just waiting for the right person to help her feel at home. Could that person be you?

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
