Marathon - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Braintree, Massachusetts

Meet Marathon! This handsome boy was found as a stray, doing his best to survive on the tough streets until he finally made his way to safety. From the moment he arrived, it was clear he has a gentle heart—and that adorable face doesn't hurt either. Marathon truly deserves a home filled with patience, love, and kindness.

After settling in at our shelter and receiving a full veterinary checkup, including being neutered, he has shown us what a sweet and appreciative boy he is. He is estimated to be about 3 years old. Because we don't know much about his past, we feel he would do best in a quiet home without small children or dogs. We believe he could live comfortably with another friendly cat, as long as introductions are done slowly and thoughtfully.

Marathon has tested positive for FIV, but don't let that worry you—FIV positive cats can live long, healthy, happy lives indoors, either solo or with other cats.

If you're looking for a gentle soul who is ready for a fresh start, Marathon may be the perfect match.

Marathon has been:
Neutered
Is now up to date with vaccines
Microchipped
Combo tested FIV+ / FeLV -

Adoption fee is $200
