Arrival Story: Was given by a friend who took one of Merlin's sister whom she named Molly.
Bio: Molly, Merlin's sister, lived upstairs and she and Merlin played with each other for hours every night. Molly and her owner moved away a year later. Merlin misses his sister a lot and, nearly 9 years later, still sticks his paw under the front door that leads upstairs to see if Molly is behind the door waiting to pounce on him.
Merlin was diagnosed with diabetes in May 2005. He doesn't let this bother him. Now, a year later, he is almost regulated on insulin. As a cat wizard, Merlin loves to create spells and potions for his friends as well as make things mysteriously disappear and reappear.

Squeaks! Thank you to all the friends who gave rosises and gifts and sent messages for us. They are very much appreicated. It is comforting to know what our Wizard was loved by many friends. Thank you, too, if you made a donation to the big healing place in memory of our Wizard.
Wizard came to visit yesterday. The Human woke up and went out into the hallway. There, glowing around the hallway nighlight, was an orange halo. The nighlight has a white bulb and normally gives off a white light. The Humna knew it was our Wizard visiting. Wizard would often lie in front of that nightlight in the morning and wait to be carried to the kitchen to be fed. The orange halo made the Human very sad but also happy that Wizard came to visit. The orange halo went away after a minute.
Wizard's healing people, Dr. B and Dr. P, are buying a Tree of Life Sculpture in his memory. The healing people took very good care of Wizard during his stay in the big healing place and they tried their very bet to fix him up. It is very thoughtful of the healing people to buy a sculpture for our Wizard. Dr. P said that Wizard won over many hearts at the big healing place.
Squeaks, dear friends. It is with a very sad heart and teary eyes that we tell you that our Wizard took his journey to the Bridge last night ;-( The Human visited Wizard last night and he was still hanging in there. Two hours later, the healing person called to say that Wizard was declining. While the healing person was talking to the Human on the phone, Wizard started having trouble breathing and then his heart just stopped ;-( The healing person was so sorry. The Humans went back to the big healing place to visit with Wizard one last time. The healing person was crying, too. She knew how much Wizard was loved.
Thank you for all the support for the past week. We know Wizard appreciated all the purrs. Now he is at the Bridge where he is no longer in pain or sickness.
Creature angels Gibbs, Bernie and Bertie Bott have met Wizard at the Bridge gate and are welcoming him to his new forever home. We know Calvin, Scootie Bugy, Tiger Lily, and many Catster angels will help welcome our Wizard, too.
In lieu of flowers sent to us, Wizard would want friends to make a donation in his memory to the big healing place. Click here to donate You will need our email address if you wish to select the Tribute, Honor, and Memorial Giving option. Please contact us privately.
Squeaks! Wizard is still hanging in there. The healing people still do not know exactly what the problem is :( They are giving Wizard medicines to help his body heal but it is a tricky balancing act.
Keep those purrs coming!
-- Abby and Scooter (and Bernie and Bertie Bott and Gibbs)
