Plenty of Pets
Marvel has had a tough life so far, but he’s ready to give lots of love.
His ears were missing when he was removed from a colony, where he was fighting with the other cats.
He’s about five year’s old and is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
He needs a home where he’ll be the only cat, and where someone will provide him with a glucosamine supplement for arthritis in his hip.
Marvel doesn’t mind being picked up and will rub against your leg for attention and wait outside the bathroom door for you.
His adoption fee is $175.
If you think Marvel is the guy for you, visit Carma Cat Rescue Colchester chapter’s Facebook page, email [email protected] or call 902-957-8677.
Carma is holding a yard sale May 25 to raise money to help cats like Marvel and is accepting donations of yard sale items (no clothing or dishes please). Items can be dropped at Unlimited Self Storage tonight (May 17) between 6:30 and 7:30 or call to arrange drop off.
