My story

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

Marguerite: A Sweet, Quiet Soul Ready for Her Forever Home

Meet Marguerite, a beautiful and petite 2-year-old brown tabby. Marguerite came to us as a stray, and while she is a lovely cat, she finds the busy shelter environment quite overwhelming. She is currently feeling very shy and `shut down,` needing a calm hand to help her feel secure.

Beneath her nervous exterior, Marguerite is showing wonderful signs that she is ready to trust. If you approach her slowly and gently, she truly enjoys ear scratches and soft head pets. She has a deep desire for affection; she just needs to feel safe enough to let her guard down.

Marguerite is looking for a quiet, low-stress home where she can start out in a small room to decompress. She needs an experienced and patient adopter who understands that building a bond takes time and consistency. With a peaceful space and a steady routine, Marguerite will slowly realize she is safe and become the loving companion she was meant to be.

We are unsure how Marguerite does with children or other animals, but we always recommend a slow introduction and our adoption staff is happy to go over integrating a new cat into your home. Marguerite is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and was given a flea/tick preventative.

If you’re ready to be the nurturing gardener Marguerite needs to bloom, please reach out to us at 920-733-1717, adopt@foxvalleypets.org, or swing by during our open hours!
