Marathon's Story

Meet Marathon! This handsome boy was found as a stray, doing his best to survive on the tough streets until he finally made his way to safety. From the moment he arrived, it was clear he has a gentle heart—and that adorable face doesn't hurt either. Marathon truly deserves a home filled with patience, love, and kindness.<br/><br/>After settling in at our shelter and receiving a full veterinary checkup, including being neutered, he has shown us what a sweet and appreciative boy he is. He is estimated to be about 3 years old. Because we don't know much about his past, we feel he would do best in a quiet home without small children or dogs. We believe he could live comfortably with another friendly cat, as long as introductions are done slowly and thoughtfully.<br/><br/>Marathon has tested positive for FIV, but don't let that worry you—FIV positive cats can live long, healthy, happy lives indoors, either solo or with other cats.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a gentle soul who is ready for a fresh start, Marathon may be the perfect match.<br/><br/>Marathon has been:<br/>Neutered<br/>Is now up to date with vaccines<br/>Microchipped<br/>Combo tested FIV+ / FeLV -<br/><br/>Adoption fee is $200
