In the shelter’s words

Best Match: May be a good match for families and/or first time adopters May be okay with other cats with a slow intro Needs to be indoor only Marigold is a sweet, independent girl who is starting to blossom more and more each day. We have a feeling there’s still plenty more of her personality that’s waiting to bloom! One way to a cat’s heart is through play. Marigold likes to play in short bursts, especially after breakfast. She’s still figuring out exactly how she likes to play and may lose interest if someone tries a little too hard to engage her, but she loves batting around small balls and springs, chasing and pouncing on them for a few minutes at a time. She also loves her scratcher and watching cat TV, especially when birds and squirrels are on screen. Even better, she enjoys watching the real thing from the window, keeping a close eye on the critters and kids outside. Marigold has a very sweet, independent personality. She’ll periodically come over for a few head scratches and then go right back to whatever she was doing. She has several favorite nap spots and rotates between them throughout the day, almost like she has a scheduled naptime routine. She also gets much more cuddly and vocal when she knows it’s getting close to mealtime, which is pretty adorable. She will follow along and watch as you get ready for bed, and seems to know when it’s time to settle down. Marigold may take a little more time to fully come out of her shell, but she’s already showing us just how much there is to love about her. With room to blossom at her own pace, you’ll see even more of what makes her special! Marigold is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV and FIV.
