Marilyn is looking for a fresh start this Spring...

Could you be the one to give it to her?
 
 
As Springtime arrives, it evokes the hope for a new beginning in many of us. The feeling of warm sunshine after a cold winter, the sounds of birds chirping, and the sight of a new green landscape where there was once barren earth inspires us to hope for transformation in our own lives. Marilyn is hoping for a fresh start of her own in a new forever home this spring... Could you be the one to give it to her?

Marilyn arrived at Our Companions Sanctuary more than a year ago. In her early days with us, she was terrified of people, and rightfully so. Having been mistreated and confined to a cage for a long stretch of time, Marilyn understandably had reservations trusting humans and sometimes behaved aggressively when she felt threatened. Even though she had been given a safe place at the Sanctuary, Marilyn continued to feel frightened that people might hurt her as they had in the past.

Now that she has been given time to heal and love from numerous volunteers, Marilyn's beautiful personality is shining brightly! Often she is so excited to have visitors that she runs to the door of her room to greet them. Marilyn makes herself at home in the laps of people she trusts, and may settle in for a nap or roll around to show you how cute she is. As you listen to her loud purr, you cannot help but feel the love radiating from her.

As much as Marilyn's life has improved over the past year, she is desperate to have her very own person to love. As you look into her gorgeous green eyes, you can see that Marilyn is a sweet and special soul who wants to give all the love in her heart to a person she can call her own.

Please consider helping Marilyn complete her healing journey by giving her a fresh start in life. She so deserves it and will give you all the love you could imagine! Marilyn needs an understanding individual or family who will allow her to develop a trusting relationship at her own pace. She would prefer a quiet home in which she is the only pet, or could be adopted into a home with another independent cat who would not interact with her much. If you think you might like to adopt Marilyn, please contact Stephanie at
