Harold & Merlin

• Merlin - estimated 2 and a half years old

• Bonded pair

• Indoor only

Their fosterer says "When both boys arrived, they hid cuddled together. Merlin was very hissy and in fighting state, Harold was terrified of touch but allowing me to do so. I patiently pottered around them, fed with tasty treats and talked calmly. I managed to steal few strokes from Harold but left Merlin alone to minimise any stress. After a week, the boys started coming out and just observing me or playing with toys in the distance. By day 8, Merlin just sat 1 meter away from me and watched. For me it was a massive breakthrough and a definite win. On day 9, Harold decided he actually is a lap cat and plonked himself on my legs. To say this is one of the biggest surprises in my life is an understatement."

Their fosterer gave us an update on 1/2/26 and said "Merlin finally gave up the scary cat persona. For the first time yesterday he decided to join Harold on the sofa next to me. Although, he went stiff when I stroke him (I actually checked for breathing), he allowed me to give him some love, one stroke at the time.

As for Harold, he is a fully converted lap cat. He loves sitting on my chest, stretching himself into almost a hugging way and looking at me as I was the best thing since licky lix.

I'm over the moon seeing the progress they made in just 2.5 weeks. Seeing them play like small kittens, throwing toys around or doing zoomies is simply adorable."

They are:

• Neutered

• Microchipped

• Treated to prevent fleas and worms
