Marcy - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Marcy has officially retired from motherhood, and after spending her time taking care of her babies, she's ready for some much-deserved TLC of her own! This lovely lady has a calm, easygoing demeanor and is happiest simply hanging out beside her people. Give her a good head scratch and a comfortable place to relax, and Marcy is perfectly content to enjoy your company.

Marcy is affectionate, but she also knows what she likes—and she isn't afraid to tell you! When she's had enough attention, she'll give you a little meow to politely establish her boundaries. She appreciates people who understand her cues and let her decide when it's time for affection. When she's feeling playful, she enjoys chasing a wand toy, and one of her favorite ways to pass the time is lounging in a window bed while keeping a close eye on the neighborhood birds.

After raising her family, Marcy is more than ready to be the center of someone's world. She would be happiest as a solo cat where she can soak up all the attention, but she could potentially share her home with another calm, easygoing cat after a slow and proper introduction. If you're looking for a laid-back companion who will keep you company, enjoy the simple things in life, and occasionally remind you that she knows exactly what she wants, Marcy might be your girl.
