My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This is what her foster family had to say about Mama Marina:
"Marina is a sweet and very shy kitty, and this young lady is ready to find her furrever home after having her family and seeing them off to their own new homes. She loves affection but is still getting used to being a in a household, so she likes to have some safe spaces to hide in until she can catch you in a quiet moment to smooch you. She is curious and playful when she's feeling safe, and while she's taken a little while to come out of her shell at her foster home, she is super sweet and loves to keep you company as you work from home, watch TV or read. She has a gorgeous little heart pattern hidden away behind one paw, and she loves a good window seat, where she can watch the goings on outside. Marina has an easy-care short coat, she is house trained and is a no-fuss eater."

If you are interested in adopting Mama Marina, please visit the shelter during our adoption hours.
