Merlin is a black and white (outcrossed) F3 Savannah from Savannahcatland (no longer in operation). He came to us over a month ago and was placed into foster care to evaluate if the disclosed issues with him (inappropriate urination and hair plucking) were resolvable. It turns out that a change of environment and reduction of stress meant that Merlin no longer acted out by peeing, nor felt the need for overgrooming himself. He's done?so well that he's been weaned off the Prozac he had been on for this issue.
Right now, Merlin is living with four dogs and two cats, but one cat is showing signs of not appreciating him hence the foster home does not wish to pursue adoption. That cat is a former rescue and we support keeping the status quo in their household. What they have noticed though is that the issue is not with Merlin, he's not been at all aggressive but they feel his size and presence is enough to intimidate their other cat.
Merlin tends to keep to himself, he loves looking out the window on the cat tree. As you can see from the pictures though, he's been known to sleep with dogs and next to humans too. He is also pictured eating with the other cat in the household quite easily. Merlin needs a home willing to play with him, they feel that the exercise and stimulation of wand toy play has helped him with his fur plucking issue. His litterbox habits have been pristine. He does great with dogs and cats that aren't dominant. The foster describes him as submissive in personality.
We really want to find Merlin the right forever home this time around, so please contact info@... with a description of your household including why it would be great for Merlin. His adoption fee will be $200. Include your location and if you would require him to be shipped.
