About Marshmallow

Meet Marshmallow, a delightful 14-year-old cat ready to bring love into your life! Her journey began when her previous owner’s health declined, leading to her surrender. Thankfully, she found sanctuary at WOL before her story could take a tragic turn. Now, Marshmallow is on the lookout for a compassionate adopter who can offer her the stable, loving environment she craves during her golden years. This affectionate girl enjoys being near her human and loves nothing more than napping by your side. She’s content watching the world go by from a sunny window, keeping an eye on birds and squirrels. Marshmallow does get along with older cats after a gentle introduction and coexists easily with well-mannered dogs. Ideally, she'd prefer a quieter home without young children, or to be the only cat where she can be the center of attention. Marshmallow has a special charm with her unique gait due to neuropathy in her hind legs, but it doesn't cause her pain. She also manages diabetes with twice-daily insulin injections, a small commitment for a lifetime of love. Could you be the special person she has been dreaming for? Don’t miss out on the chance to adopt this sweet girl. Your new companion awaits!
