About Marie

Marie plays the part of dramatic diva with precision; pick her up, and you’ll be serenaded by her signature whine—though beneath the theatrics, she eats up the attention, especially if there’s a vigorous back scratch involved. She purrs like a revved-up engine through it all. Her welcome-home ritual is non-negotiable: scoop her up, spoil her with some affection, and then return her to her rightful post as household ruler. Playfulness is her strong suit, fueled by food and her obsession with wand toys and lasers. Marie always wants a cat pal for company, and she’ll consider a dog only as a moving distraction—especially one with a tempting tail to nibble. The rest of the dog? Largely irrelevant to her. Marie gravitates toward women and is skittish around men. While she’ll tolerate cuddle sessions, she reserves her true excitement for playtime. If you want a sassy, food-motivated sidekick who brings personality and flair, Marie’s ready for the spotlight. Start your journey together! Apply now.
