My story

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

 

Meet Marvin, a gentle grey and white guy with very long whiskers. We estimate Marvin’s age to be between 3-5 years old, and looking at him, you can sense that his time on the streets was less than ideal. Perhaps due to some mistrust of people, this handsome fellow can be a bit reserved at first, and might get a little overwhelmed from touching, but he loves attention from people. With a slow approach, starting with some soft pets on the body, Marvin will warm up and let you scratch his head or brush him all over. He will also let you scoop him into your arms and hold him tight against your chest. You’ll probably hear and feel him purr out of contentment. Don’t be surprised if he also considers settling into your lap! This guy also has an active side, though! He likes to pounce on mice, use his scratchers, and run around his space. 

We think Marvin would be a great cat for a calm household who can help him feel comfortable. This guy is good around other friendly cats, but we do not know if he’s met dogs or children.

 

Marvin is playing in our Willow Grove Shelter. Submit a no-obligation application to adopt today: https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/ (Foster: Willow Grove). Not ready to adopt, apply to foster: https://forgottencats.org/foster-a-cat/ (Foster: Willow Grove)

More about this rescue

Founded in 2003, Forgotten Cats, Inc. is the leading trap, neuter, vaccinate, return (TNVR) nonprofit in the region. Servicing Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey, Forgotten Cats specializes in TNVR in order to humanely reduce the homeless cat population. Valuing all lives, Forgotten Cats is a no kill organization.

Forgotten Cats’ TNVR services involve working with colony caregivers to identify all cats within a colony, after which we trap, transport, sterilize, vaccinate, recuperate, and return feral cats to caregivers. Our goal is to stabilize each colony and ensure zero population growth. We achieve this by trapping and sterilizing every single cat in the entire colony.

About 20 percent of the cats that enter our clinics each year are not feral. Stray cats, or homeless domesticated cats, and feral kittens under 12 weeks old, are held and placed into our adoption network. With ten off-site adoption centers, our dedicated staff and volunteers work hard to prepare our cats for adoption and ensure they go to loving, forever homes.

Forgotten Cats serves the community by offering affordable TNVR services, low cost spay/neuter services for pet & stray cats, and spay/neuter education.

Forgotten Cats has over 700 volunteers that are committed to helping this organization fulfill its mission. We receive no government funding, and depend solely on private donations, grants, fundraising events, and bequests to complete our mission.

Since 2003, Forgotten Cats has sterilized over 130,000 cats across the region, which has prevented the birth and suffering of millions of kittens. Additionally, we have placed over 14,000 cats into loving, forever homes. At our no-kill clinic/shelters, we welcome the FIV+ & FeLV+ cats, the blind, the 3-legged, the lost, those that have been abused, and those that have been abandoned. We offer love and hope to the Forgotten Cats from all walks of life.

Vision:
We envision a day when kittens are no longer born on the streets but rather in loving homes to responsible owners.

Mission:
Our mission is to humanely reduce the homeless cat population and to stop the suffering of the thousands of kittens born to abandoned, homeless cats.
