About Markie

Meet Markie—the self-declared queen of disapproval and a master of the silent stare. She’s a gorgeous gray dilute calico with a soft, plush short coat perfect for snuggling, though you might need to earn her approval first. Markie is quick to judge any slow dinner service or questionable furniture rearrangement with her signature glare, but under that stern look is a cat who melts for affection. She loves attention and enjoys being held, happily leaning in for long petting sessions once you’re deemed worthy. At about 10.4 pounds, she’s got a round belly that’s always up for a gentle pat, and her overall vibe is calm but sweet—she's content being adored without putting on a big show. Now just over 2 years old, Markie’s in her prime. She’s spayed, fully vaccinated, tested negative for feline leukemia/FIV, and clear of fleas and worms, so she’s all set to thrive in her new home. Markie gets along well with mellow cats and could easily settle into a peaceful multi-cat household. She’s waiting for someone who appreciates her quirks, can handle her side-eye, and wants a cuddly, quietly loving companion. Think you can win her over? Give them the home they have been waiting for.
