Hello! My name is Merle, I am a 2 year old, neutered male, long-haired cat. I was relinquished to MaxFund January 2025 by no fault of my own, and now I am looking for my fur-ever home!
I’m a handsome kitty with the most unique coat you’ve ever seen—seriously, people can’t stop talking about how gorgeous I am! But I’m not just a pretty face—I’m full of playful energy and love to have fun. Whether it’s chasing toys, pouncing on imaginary critters, or zooming around for a case of the zoomies, I know how to keep things entertaining! I also love people and get super excited when my human visitors come to play with me. I’ll greet you with soft purrs, sweet head bumps, and maybe even a few adorable chirps. I’m just looking for my perfect forever home—a place where I can run, play, and cuddle up with my favorite humans. Could that be with you? Come meet me and see if we’re the purr-fect match!
I haven`t met any dogs or kids, I do get along with other cats though. If you have kids, you can bring them to meet me! If you have a dog, the shelter staff can test me with a MaxFund dog and see how I do.
If you think I would be a good fit for your home, please come to the shelter to meet me! The shelter hours are Sunday - Monday, & Wednesday - Saturday (Closed Tuesday) 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM, Closed 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM for lunch.

More about this shelter
The MaxFund is a non-profit organization that was established in May of 1988 to provide medical care for injured pets with no known owners, and to seek out new homes for these animals once they have recovered. The MaxFund is a no-kill dog and cat shelter. MaxFund assists hundreds of people and animals each year by trying to make the correct match between owner and pet. MaxFund adopts our animals to Colorado residents only.
