About Marble

Marble is a petite, loving calico lady who has come a long way since her rescue from a hoarding case. She arrived shy and unsure, but with time and care, she blossomed into a confident lap cat who loves attention. Marble has a playful spirit—batting toys across the floor or hopping eagerly into a lap for gentle petting is her idea of a good day. She especially loves chin scratches and rewards them with enthusiastic head bumps. Marble is FeLV+ and FIV+, so she’ll need to be the only cat in the home or live with other cats who share her medical status. Despite her diagnosis, she doesn’t let anything dampen her joy or affection. Marble has learned to thrive in the company of people and compatible feline roomies, surprising volunteers with her friendly, social side. If you’re looking for a gentle, bright-spirited companion to share lap time, consider giving Marble a soft place to land. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
