About Meet Marnie: A Gentle

Marnie grew up in rural Oregon, lingering longer in her foster home than her siblings before someone finally noticed her. Her name nods to Halloweentown, but there’s nothing spooky about her—Marnie’s a mellow, patient soul with a quiet mischievous streak. She explores every nook and follows the household action, yet her affection comes gently and on her own time. If you’re quietly reading on the couch, you might look down and find her curled at your side or purring in your lap. Recently, Marnie returned from an adoption after stress with other cats—she’s sensitive, and bigger social groups can overwhelm her. To thrive, she’d do best as the only cat, or possibly paired with a gentle, respectful feline. She remains endearing and kitten-ish at just over two years old, with a petite build and a knack for finding cozy nap spots. She’s spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, and litter box trained. Indoors-only living is a must to keep her safe and relaxed. With respectful, cat-savvy children she could settle in well, so long as there’s no chaos or competition for affection. If you’re after a gentle, playful, and uniquely charming companion, Marnie’s ready for a new low-stress start. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
