In the shelter’s words
Melba (male) and Nellie (female) are bonded littermate cats who have never been apart and must stay together. **Melba** is the outgoing, playful one—floppy, affectionate, and always ready for belly rubs and attention. He trots over with his tail up, melts when held, and quickly becomes everyone’s best friend (though he sticks close to Nellie in big spaces at first). **Nellie** is the shy, quiet shadow. She’s standoffish with people—no petting or picking up at first—and prefers to observe from a safe distance. But alone with Melba, she turns into a playful gremlin, wrestling and chasing with him before collapsing into cuddly naps. They’re a perfect dynamic duo: Melba does the talking, Nellie watches. They may accept another gentle, playful cat, but they’re happiest as your only pair. Looking for a calm, patient home where they can settle in at their own pace. With time, toys, and sunbeams, Melba will be a lap cat and Nellie a sweet ghost at the foot of the bed—always together. Come meet them: one will demand belly rubs right away, the other will pretend she’s not jealous from three feet away. Visitors to the shelter are by appointment only and after a form has been submitted online: https://www.marshmallowfoundation.org/forms/

Plan a visit with the source organization
Marshmallow Animal Shelter wants to make certain that every animal adopted goes to a loving home where it will be well cared. Because of this, our application asks a number of detailed questions, which are necessary for our screening process. Our application will ask you to what lengths you are willing to go, in order to accommodate the animal's needs and training. You must be able to show commitment of time, finances, energy and compassion to the animal. Once your application is approved, we require that you sign a contract guaranteeing non-transferal/sale of animal, its proper care, and spay/neuter surgery if not already done.
Confirm availability, fees and the meeting address before traveling.
