About Linda Marie

Linda Marie and Joey are a bonded pair—a mother and her son—whose story centers around survival and deep family loyalty. Linda Marie spent years as a stray, fiercely protective and always looking out for her kittens. When rescued, she remained careful around new people, but her gentleness shows in quiet moments, especially with her son by her side. Joey, now about a year old, leans into affection and trusts people easily, and he's become a steady influence on his mom as she warms up to comfort and kindness. Joey helps Linda Marie see that the world isn’t as scary as it once was, and his presence gives her confidence to relax and show her sweet nature. This inseparable duo needs a calm home where Linda Marie can continue blossoming with patience and understanding. Joey’s cheerful confidence makes him both a comfort to Linda and an affectionate, easygoing addition to any family. Adopting these two means welcoming a unique bond into your home—Linda Marie’s quiet resilience and Joey’s playful, loving spirit. They’re happiest together and will bring devotion that runs deep.
