During his short time here, Merlin had some amazing adventures. He visited a church ruins in South Carolina, attended a wedding, played in the snow, and witnessed a solar eclipse. He was also photographed with body painted models, and was even declared The Official Wizard Cat of Johnson City by the Mayor there. Now that he is free of his earthly form, it seems only fitting to share him with others who can take him on all new adventures <3.
The Adventures with Merlin concept is simple. It is our hope that you will take a small totem containing Merlin’s ashes on new adventures and document the process. We would love to see pictures, read stories, and even see video of where you choose to take him here and on social media using #adventureswithmerlin. If the adventure is special to you, Merlin will love it!
Every item offered as part of Adventures with Merlin will contain a small amount of Merlin’s ashes and come with a small, 2×3 photo of Merlin. The wax items are made from biodegradable, unscented soy wax and are meant to either be kept inside as a remembrance, or left in special to you places round the world. Being soft wax, they wont hold up to multiple adventures. The Sleepy Kitty resin figurine and cat keychain will last indefinitely. I take mine everywhere. Shipping is a flat rate of $10 for everything offered and I will try to send everything Priority Mail so that it gets to you as quickly as possible.
This project is a labor of love, but it also serves a second purpose. The funds raised from these sales are mostly to cover expenses. If you make any sort of art at all, you know how pricey materials can be. Anything leftover will be split between caring for Merlin’s new little sister, Lydia, and donations to help other kitties that cross our path. We have a soft spot for Nebelungs (Merlin’s breed) and are always on the lookout for ways to help cover adoption costs and vet visits.
