Marshmallow - Domestic Short Hair Cat Available for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Marshmallow is a soft, sweet boy with a gentle heart and a brave little spirit. He may start out a bit shy, but once he feels safe, his curious side shines. He loves to explore, popping out of hiding spots like a tiny adventurer checking in on his kingdom.

When playtime hits, Marshmallow is fast. He’ll zoom clear across the apartment the moment he hears dinner being prepared, and he’s always ready to bat around small toys or wrestle with his brother. After all that excitement, he melts into a cozy nap spot nearby, happy just to be close to his people.

Marshmallow is only available for adoption in a home that already has a friendly resident cat — or you can adopt him together with his beloved brother, Smoke, for a perfectly matched pair.
