Marley - Domestic Short Hair and Calico Cat for Adoption in Ferndale, Michigan

Marley was rescued in November of 2021. She was part of an abandoned litter on the west side of the state. She initially transitioned well into her home and she got along very well with a senior dog brother. Since then, the family added a new dog which has caused her a lot of stress, including retreating to the basement, and, most recently, she has taken to urinating on things outside of her litter box despite her litter being cleaned. She is not fond of young children either. A quiet home with a warm lap would be her ideal situation. She is such a beautiful girl and has a sweetness that will emerge once she is in a safe and loving home.
