NON-STANDARD F3 MALE - WALDORF, MD

b All Messages By This Member #520 Merlin is a black and white F3 Savannah neutered male. I know that is unusual, he's the result of his mama escaping her breeder home and coming back knocked up by some neighborhood tom. He is now 4 years old and is reported to be a large cat, ~17lbs. Merlin is being surrendered for inappropriate urination (one of the most common reasons any cat of any breed is surrendered), but he is also reported to have an issue with hair plucking and is currently on medication to help with this issue. Most of the urination is near the litterbox in the house but he has been peeing on furniture as well. Sometimes it is very difficult for us (the rescue team) to know how resolvable these issues are as the owner is usually so frustrated when they surrender the cat that they are not open to considering the motives for the cat's behavior or whether it is indeed resolvable. I do think that there are things to try with Merlin's peeing (including Cat Attract litter, and quality enzyme cleaners), and stress seems to be a big factor in his hair plucking behavior. The owner reports that they have tried diet change and they did extensive testing (no records available) to determine that it was not allergies. Merlin is reported to not have ever been good with the owner's child who is now 5 years old, hence we would only consider homes with older children. He does get along okay with the other Savannah and the dog in the home but the owner feels he'd be just as happy as an only cat. I get the feeling that Merlin might do better with someone with the time to really pay him attention and learn what he is needing in life. Shipping is actually available (at your expense) which is unusual in our rescues. If you are interested in offering Merlin a home, please email us at info@... with your location, and a description of your household and why you would be a good choice for him.
