Persian-Mix Looking for Forever Family

Beautiful Merrick lived happily with a family all her life, but then their personal circumstances changed and she found herself without a home. Angels Among Us Pet Rescue took her into its adoption program and is now looking for a second home and a second chance for this nice kitty.

Merrick appears to be a Persian mix with a long luxurious coat. (It will need regular brushing.) She has a definite personality and will run up to you whenever you enter the room. She likes to hang around with her "people" and will be a great TV or reading buddy. She is a talker, and lets you know what she's thinking.

Merrick lives with other cats and would be ok as a second cat after a period of socialization. However, she very much considers herself "the queen" and would also do well as an only cat. She is used to dogs and tolerates well-behaved ones.

Merrick is a big girl and could benefit, quite frankly, from a little time at Kitty Weight Watchers. (Can anyone else relate to this?) But she is so pretty!

Merrick finds change stressful and her adopter will need to give her a little while to settle in before you see her true personality. It will be worth the wait. She's a lovely cat who truly deserves a forever home this time.

All of Angels' cats have been spayed/neutered, tested for feline leukemia and feline AIDS, vaccinated, treated for internal and external parasites, and microchipped. Merrick's adoption fee is $75.

Angels Among Us Pet Rescue saves pets from high-kill shelters in North Georgia and operates foster homes throughout the metro area. For more information on Merrick and other Angels' cats and dogs, visit the group's website at www.angelsrescue.org.
