Marvin's Story

Best Match:<br/><br/>Seeking adopters with moderate cat experience<br/><br/>May be okay in a savvy home with teenagers<br/><br/>May be okay with other cats; would need slow intro to well-matched cat<br/><br/>​Needs to be indoor-only<br/><br/>Imagine gazing into the void: a silky, pitch black void with two glowing yellow orbs in the middle gazing at you. Then the void chirps. Meet Marvin- he wants to play!<br/><br/>Marvin is an affectionate 4 year old. Curious and intelligent, Marvin loves plotting out the best stalking strategy while playing with his feather toy. Much of his time is spent napping or gazing out the window from his cat tree, watching the goings-on of the outside world, but he also enjoys hanging out with (or on) his people, just enjoying each other's company.<br/><br/>Marvin does get a little overstimulated with handling sometimes, so an adopter that knows cat body language and when to stop petting is ideal. Wand toys are his love language at the moment!<br/><br/>Marvin currently needs a high-fiber diet to support his health and is FIV positive, which is easily manageable and doesn't get in the way of his enjoyment of life.<br/><br/>Marvin is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV. If you are interested in setting up a meeting or have more questions, please complete our Adoption Inquiry form at https://form.jotform.com/cattownoak/adoption-inquiries !<br/><br/>A note about Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV): Cats with FIV can live long, healthy lives and make wonderful companions. The virus can't be given to humans, and doesn’t spread easily between cats, so they can safely live with FIV-negative cats​. We often house them together at Cat Town! With simple care, FIV-positive cats thrive. Keeping them indoors, feeding a balanced diet, and scheduling regular vet checkups (about every six months) helps them stay happy and healthy for years to come.
