UKIAH, CA., 10/21/25 – This week’s Featured Pet is Merlynn, a 1-year-old cat available for adoption through the Ukiah Animal Shelter.
Meet Merlynn! This petite, 1-year-old white and gray tabby beauty has already done the hard work of raising her kittens, and now it’s her turn to shine. Merlynn is a gentle, affectionate girl who adores attention and will happily lean into kitty scratches and loving. With her soft markings and even softer personality, she’s the kind of cat who will steal your heart without even trying. Now that her little ones are grown, Merlynn is ready to trade “mom duties” for cozy laps, sunny windowsills, and a family who will cherish her as much as she’ll cherish them. Could she be the sweet companion you’ve been looking for?
