Merlin the cat was a real sweetie. He was so gentle that we didn't hesitate to place him in a home with a disabled child with CP.
On his own, Merlin learned to sense seizures before they happened. His owners trained him to either press the speed dial for 911, or to press the button on an alert necklace if he sensed a seizure coming on.
The owners tried to get Merlin hooked up with Delta Society, but they wouldn't accept him because he wasn't a dog.
Sadly, Merlin passed away last year at the ripe old age of seventeen. His owner, now a grown woman, has a service dog now.
