About Marie

Marie is a lively young cat who enjoys being around people, though she may appear a tad skittish at first. A chatty personality shines through as she loves to engage, especially during playtime with string toys or while lounging in front of the TV. At her core, she's warm and affectionate, always seeking attention and eager for treats. Currently, Marie needs urgent placement as she's showing signs of stress in the shelter environment. Her caretakers have noticed her becoming increasingly wary of interactions, despite their efforts to create positive experiences with treats. She would thrive best in a loving home that understands the nuances of a shy, fearful cat, allowing her to adjust at her own pace. Marie has shared a home with other cats, so she appreciates the company of fellow felines. However, she's not suited for households with young children due to her sensitive disposition. It's essential for her new family to be patient and experienced in nurturing a cat like her, with a gentle approach to help her feel safe and comfortable. With time and love, Marie is sure to blossom into a wonderful companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
