Story
Marshmallow is a small white bundle of two dysphoric sides, ceaselessly opposed. The first is worry; he will skitter away from anything unfamiliar, anything making much noise, and from anyone taller than him (which is everyone). The second is a driving, insatiable need for comfort; he wants to be petted, wants to be near people, wants to curl up in arms and hands and collect belly rubs for hours at a time. These two facets define pretty much everything about marshmallow: he's an extremely fluffy, extremely friendly, extremely timid ball of playful energy, cuddly demand, and frightened flight. Are you a good friend for Marshmallow?
How to be a good friend to marshmallow:
First, you're quiet and calm. Marshmallow will need a safe spot of his own, one where he can let his frightened side relax. He's a very soft puffy white, splattered with grey and black, and at first he'll be a very worried piece of furniture.
Second, you're patient. Marshmallow would love to play with the toy you're carrying, but he won't immediately leap at it the way some kittens will. Instead he'll watch, then stare, then start rubbing his face on it, because what he wants more than to play is your attention. Give him time, and when the time is right...Third, you're caring and like petting a very poofy kitten. Once he recognizes that you're a friend, Marshmallow will seek you out and do everything he can to get more attention. He loves licking fingers and wrists and faces, calmly soothing himself. He loves back rubs and belly rubs and especially face rubs. Once he's used to you, he'll trot up with his gigantic fluffy tail puffed up, and you'll know exactly what he wants
Marshmallow have been neutered and microchipped and are current on their vaccinations, flea medication, and dewormers. A FeLV/FIV test can be performed upon request for an additional fee. Contact foster parents Rachel & Bart with any questions at rlucasme@gmail.com.
