Rescue:

Pet Patrol was contacted by a woman who independently rescues cats and then seeks
organizations to help rehome them. She explained that an elderly woman on a farm, 93 years old,
had a pregnant female cat, Minnie, who urgently needed a safe place before giving birth. The cat’s
only shelter was the porch and under it. Arrangements were made, and soon she was picked up —
but within a short time it became clear something wasn’t right. The cat, now named Minnie, gave
birth to three kittens, later named Merlin, Marty and Mouse, and by the time they came into care the
kittens were about three weeks old — tiny, wide ­eyed, with their little ears just beginning to stand.
Once settled safely in the woman’s laundry room with beds and food, it was discovered Minnie had
no signs of nursing — she was not the mother. Further inquiries confirmed their actual mom was
still on the farm, but the family would not surrender her. The kittens were raised by a vet tech who
bottle fed and cared for them, ensuring they grew strong and socialized — and now these little ones
are ready for adoption and a loving, indoor forever home.

Personality:

Merlin is a fluffy little black kitten with a touch of white, making him even more charming and
unique. He’s a confident go­ getter who jumps into playtime with enthusiasm—whether it’s chasing
toys, pouncing on shadows, or zooming around with his kitten friends. His playful spirit brings so
much joy and energy to any room. When he’s done adventuring, Merlin is just as happy to settle in
for a cuddle. He’s incredibly soft, melts right into your arms, and loves a good snuggle session as
much as he loves his play. He’s the perfect balance of fun and affection, making him an ideal
companion for almost any home. Merlin is ready to bring happiness, laughter, and cozy moments to
his forever family. He should be kept safely indoors to keep him healthy and protected.
