Are you looking for a cat to have meaningful discussions with? Or just catch up on the latest gossip? Marley is five years old and impressively intelligent. She responds to her name and loves to chatter when you talk to her. This playful girl LOVES Da Bee, though she happily entertains herself with various wand toys. Her obsession with lasers is unmatched! Marley effortlessly leaps off walls as you guide the laser across the room. She will chase that elusive light for hours, as long as you're up for a play session. Marley is also well-versed in the word "snacks." She understands the concept of wet food and will enthusiastically rub against your legs in anticipation as soon as you start preparing it. Churu or Catit tube treats are her favorites! Even after waking up from a nap, she starts to chat, perhaps making sure she's not alone. As lovely and unique as Marley is, she values her independence. While she's not aggressive, she isn't quick to accept affection. You can give her gentle pets if you move slowly, but when awake, she prefers to maintain her distance. Initially, she may seek hiding spots as change can be unsettling, but once she feels at ease in her new environment, she'll confidently explore and lounge in the coziest corners. While Marley gets along well with other cats, it's best to place her in a household without young children. Dogs are unknown.

Marley was discovered alone outside when she was approximately three months old and has been under our care since then, adapting to indoor life. She is SO ready to find her forever home at last!

The perfect home for Marley understands that she requires time to adjust to new surroundings and people. Patience and acceptance of her independent nature are key. With time and patience, Marley will grow more confident with each passing day.
