Marley is the kind of kitty who genuinely wants to be part of your day. She’s curious, super smart, and loves hanging out near people. She’s more of a “I’ll be right beside you” girl than a cuddler, but it feels easy to imagine that once she’s settled into her forever home and really bonds with her people, the cuddles will come. She isn’t fearful at all, she just likes her personal space. Marley would be best suited to a home where she is the only cat. While she has not been tested with dogs, she may do okay with a gentle dog who’s respectful with cats.

Marley is also wonderfully gentle for such a playful girl. She loves to pounce and wrestle, but she rarely ever uses sharp claws or teeth, and she’s proven to be great with kids.

One of Marley’s funniest traits is how food-motivated she is. She is a serious little eater, and if you’re not careful, she is certainly bold enough to try to swipe food off your plate! If you’ve got treats in your hand, she’ll suddenly be your best friend, and with how smart she is, she’d likely be a great candidate for learning tricks or doing little training games.

For a kitty with this much energy, she’s surprisingly well-behaved in the house. No plant destruction, no curtain climbing, and no mischief, aside from one paper towel roll that, frankly, had it coming. She loves to climb, but she’s very aware of her surroundings, she sleeps nearby, and she greets her people at the door every time like she’s been waiting to tell them about her day.

If you’re looking for a goofy, spunky, gentle little sweetheart who will make your home feel a bit more alive, Marley really is something special.
