About Marleigh

Meet Marleigh, a charming 15-week-old female cat. She's had a challenging start to life due to severe seizures that have since been treated. While she’s in good health now, the seizures did leave her with some residual effects, making her a bit slower in her reactions. Despite this, Marleigh displays a gentle demeanor and navigates her world just fine—she eats, drinks, and uses her litter box without any issues. Playtime isn't her priority, and she may have some vision loss, but she brings a calm presence to any home. Marleigh thrives in environments where she can be with other pets as she gets along well with both cats and dogs, and she's also great with children. This sweet cat has been spayed, tested for feline leukemia and feline AIDS, and is fully up to date on vaccinations. If you're looking for a lovingly gentle companion, Marleigh could be the perfect fit for you. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
