Merritt is still learning to trust people and will require a patient adopter willing to dedicate time to her continued socialization. Merritt loves her cat tree, and when she’s not playing with her siblings you’ll find her watching her surroundings or snoozing on the highest perch.

Please note Merritt is only available for adoption with one of her siblings (Surrey or Fernie) or to a family with another kitten or young feline who would make an appropriate companion/playmate.

The Avery Foundation is a foster-based and volunteer-run rescue. Every TAF rescue cat is vet checked, vaccinated, treated for parasites, spay/neutered, microchipped, and receive any necessary additional medical care. Our adoption process involves an application, reference check, interview, and home visit prior to placement. From the time we receive your application through the screening process adoptions can take a couple weeks. We thank everyone who takes the time to apply but only those who best fit the cat’s requirements will be contacted.
