About Marf

Marf is an adorable feline who comes from a hoarding situation, which means she may need extra time to adjust to her new home. Her past has left her more comfortable around other cats than people, so patience is crucial as she learns to navigate her new environment. It's best to start her off in a quiet, small room where she can feel secure for a few weeks. Gradually, with positive interactions such as treats and gentle play, she'll start building trust. Marf has lived happily among other cats, showing her friendly side, but she can also be quite independent. She enjoys watching bird videos and loves her toys, especially those featuring strings or feathers. Children in the home should be 6 and older. Her gentle, sweet nature will shine brighter with time and understanding.
