Marlee A-2860 Tabby & Tuxedo Mix Eaton Rapids, MI

Hello! I am a VERY shy kitty. I'm also sweet and gentle. If you have the patience to allow me to get comfortable then I will reward you with the best purrs and a lifetime of companionship. I would love the comfort of a safe home where my people understand how scary that change might be for me and that I need a little time before I feel comfortable around you and confident to be my best self! I am not ready to be a pick me up kitty yet. I will definitely need you to be understanding and patient with me, as I am just learning that humans are ok- they are so big and new to me. I absolutely love to play and if you do too then I know that will help me to trust you easier. Also if you help me kill my arch enemy, "the red dot", then we can be best friends. I can also be won over with treats! I love being fed. I was rescued from a large outside colony and depended on humans to feed me. I don't deserve live outside. Because of this, my caretaker and foster mom are the only humans I've ever known. I'm ready to find my forever person who will love me forever.

**Suggestion: Ask our adoption team for more information about adopting our gentle and shy kitties. We typically recommend that when they first go home with you, they should be kept in a space where they can feel safe while getting used to the smells and sounds of their new home. A bedroom is the perfect example. Please spend lots of time with them so they can get to know you! This is the perfect time to give them treats, brush them, and play with toys such as wands and laser pointers. Once they have made themselves at home, feel free to open the door and let them explore the rest of their new home with you! This will set them up for success! Ask our adoption team for other ideas if you are unable to accommodate this type of space.

By adopting this kitty, it helps the SBZ Organization work on decreasing the over-abundance of kittens that end up homeless.

Note: Because rescue cats do not come from breeders with specific backgrounds, the description is our best estimate of breed & is not guaranteed

SbZ requests that adopted kitties be taken to your private vet to be established right away as moving around can be stressful-even if it’s good stress- and cause reactions in their immune systems.

If you have dogs and other kitties, please make sure to do a slow introduction so they can learn about each other.
