My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Marshmallow! Marshmallow is a handsome 6 year old, Siamese mix with beautiful blue eyes. He is a precious love bug! He loves to get scritches on his head and under his chin. He loves pate canned food. (He no longer eats dry food,)  He has a positive, calm, easy-going attitude despite all he has been through, and would be a great companion animal for the right person.

Marshmallow has had a very hard life up until now, He was obviously dumped and wandered a person's property for at least a year pleading for help. He was frightened and wanted so badly to come inside and be part of a family, like he once was. He never left their property for an entire year, apparently trying to convince the couple to let him inside. Marshmallow slept on their porch furniture, followed the people everywhere out in the yard and often tried to get into their home through the garage. He was frightened, but they would not allow him inside. It wasn't until his front paws were painful, swollen, and bleeding for a period of 4 months that they finally contacted us for help.

Once in our care, he was immediately taken to the vet and it was found that this sweet boy had a very hard and difficult life. Not only were his front paws painful and bleeding and the worst case of Pillow Foot that our vet had ever seen in her 30 years of practice, but he had a lot of broken teeth. This could've happened by abuse/blunt-force trauma. After a lot of tender, loving care, Marshmallow's paws healed completely. He is doing very well now and is healthy. Our sweet boy, Marshmallow is ready for his own home.

Marshmallow is FIV+ .Being FIV+, is no longer a big deal. Many cats go on to lead long, healthy lives and, as you can see, Marshmallow has recovered quickly and extremely well (unheard of) from Pillow foot. , Marshmallow can only eat canned food - no dry food or kibble.

Marshmallow is neutered, had his rabies and FVRCP vaccines, tested negative for feline leukemia, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration. His perfect family would be a responsible person experienced with diabetic cats, in a low activity, quiet home with either no children or children over the age of 10.

Please consider adding Marshmallow to your family. You won't regret it. He is a sweetheart. Please contact us at GoodMews22@aol.com or call 540.717.4420

More about this rescue

Our rescue is dedicated to the cats that have been forgotten - strays that are shy and frightened, abandoned cats that once had a home and are trying to come into a home for shelter, cats that need a little more TLC than most to trust again.

These cats are struggling on our streets to be noticed, struggling for survival. They need our love, our compassion, our help.

They are the forgotten cats.
The cats that most rescues "don't have time for."

ALL cats deserve love.
ALL cats deserve a good home.
ALL cats deserve to be treated with respect and given care.

Given time, love, and nurturing, these cats become wonderful, loving housecats.

Our rescue is for the forgotten cats. In my home, they are known as the Shrinking Violets, and I have fought for their right to be loved, receive care, and the respect they deserve. Please join me with your support.
