About Marley

Marley and his family were found in a tough spot, abandoned in a single carrier near a busy road. Since then, his mom and most siblings have found homes—he's still waiting. Marley's coloring isn't your standard orange; it's more like suede, soft and eye-catching. His temperament is gentle and affectionate with a playful streak. He blends in easily with cats of all ages, and even enjoys the company of a large cat-friendly dog. When Marley purrs, you can hear him clear across the room. Cuddling is a specialty, especially once trust is built, but he tends to be shy at first around new faces. With patience, he comes out of his shell and bonds deeply. Marley and his buddy George spend most of their time together, and they'd thrive being adopted as a pair. He's ready for a calm home and someone willing to let him settle in at his own pace. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
