My story

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

Ahoy there! I’m Marco 🐾
A spirited young explorer with a big personality, big energy, and an even bigger heart.
I’m a playful, curious brown tabby who loves to stay busy—zooming through tunnels, climbing cat trees, and claiming the highest perch like the confident adventurer I am. Life is meant to be explored, and I’m hoping to share it with someone who enjoys an active, engaging companion.
I’m affectionate and full of love, and I also have opinions! I communicate clearly and do best with a person who understands cat body language and respects when I’m ready for attention—and when I need a breather. When I feel safe and understood, my sweet side shines through with purrs, charm, and playful companionship.
I’m looking for an adult-only home with a cat-savvy human who can hang with my energy and appreciate me for who I am. Someone calm, patient, and kind—no perfection required, just understanding and consistency.
If you’re seeking a lively, fun-loving cat who will keep you entertained, make you laugh, and build a genuine bond with you, I just might be your guy.
Ready to start our next adventure together?

Our adoption facility hours and location can be found on our website. https://carenorthshore.org/care-adoption-center/

Additional adoption info

See our process and policies on our website.
https://carenorthshore.org/adoption-information/

Our fees include a full medical exam by a veterinarian. This includes a Feline Leukemia and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) test for cats, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, deworming and Spay/Neuter. Dogs receive a Heartworm Check, Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, Canine Flu Vaccine, deworming, and Kennel Cough preventative. Our modest adoption fees do not cover the procedures and vet work that we provide the animals. We fundraise to make up the difference. Any ongoing medical needs that C.A.R.E. is aware of are explained fully, (including daily medicine costs), to the potential adopter, and become the responsibility of the adopter.
