DESCRIPTION
Marshie, Marshie, Marshie! What a sweet, wonderful, senior snowshoe kitty! Seriously, Marshie will intensely ask for ear- and head rubs the moment she warms up to you (which doesn’t take long). It’s no wonder that Marshie’s family told us that she is "the sweetest and friendly." Marshie has shared a home with teenage children and other cats in the past, but she is generally nervous around dogs and may prefer a home without any canine roomies. With her stunning blue eyes and her cauliflower ear as well as her charming personality, Marshie is one-of-a-kind! Come visit and get to know her.
If you’d like to meet our available pets, please check the "shelter information" box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Michael R. Frey Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton). Then, come in during our open hours! Both of our locations are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 12-5 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays 12-7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information on our adoption process, including requirements and fees, visit: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/animalservices/adopt
