Taupō and Tūrangi adopt a pet: Meet Merlin

Merlin and his brother are looking for forever homes through CARE Rescue in Taupō.

CARE Rescue’s Matariki Adoptathon finishes this coming weekend.

All cats and kittens are just $95, which includes desexing, microchipping, New Zealand Companion Animal Register registration, four weeks of free pet insurance and worm and flea treatment.

Merlin and his equally adorable brother are just two of over 20 felines waiting to be adopted.

This pair have a touch of Oriental Siamese in them.

They are affectionate and very intelligent, and we would love them to find a home together.

When adopting from CARE, you are supporting Taupō’s only no-kill animal rescue.

We are open seven days a week from 10am to 3.30pm (with a 1pm close on Sundays).

Extra kittens will be brought in at the weekend, so we encourage you to visit on Saturday or Sunday.
