About Marlin

They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply? Meet Marlin, a wonderful cat who is positive for FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus). While this virus affects a cat's immune system and leads to a shorter life expectancy, cats with FeLV can still enjoy happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives. It's important to know that FeLV is not a form of cancer; rather, it's a virus that makes the immune system more vulnerable. Marlin can only share a home with other cats that are also FeLV positive, as the virus is transmitted through close contact between cats. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
