My story

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

Meet Marbles: A Quiet Curiosity & A Great Big Purr
If you have a quiet home and a patient heart, Marbles might just be the perfect companion you’ve been searching for. While she may start off a bit like a "hidden gem," once she sparkles, she shines bright!

Her Personality
Marbles is a gentle soul who believes that the best friendships are built with time and trust. She is shy at first, but don't let that fool you—underneath that reserved exterior is an incredibly curious girl.

Once she feels safe in her environment, her adventurous side comes out! She loves to spend her days:

Exploring: Investigating every nook and cranny of her surroundings.

Observing: Finding a high vantage point to quietly watch the world go by.

Snuggling: Scouting out the softest, coziest spots to curl up for a long nap.

Why She’s Special
The "Motorboat" Purr: One of Marbles' best features is her amazingly loud purr. It’s her way of telling you that she finally feels at home.

Affectionate Soul: Once you’ve earned her trust, she is all about the head scratches and will show you a deeply sweet, affectionate side.

Cat-Friendly: Marbles is great with other cats, making her a wonderful choice for a home that already has a feline resident looking for a calm friend.

Her Ideal Home
Marbles is looking for a low-stress, quiet environment. She would do best with a patient individual or a family who understands that she needs to move at her own pace. If you are willing to follow her lead, you will be rewarded with a loyal friend and a lifetime of those famous loud purrs.

Are you ready to give Marbles the quiet sanctuary she deserves?

Go meet their pets

Adoption events are held regularly in the community at Petco Winchester VA every other Saturday. Additional events are held at area festivals, wineries, breweries, and parks. Approved adopters can schedule a private meet and greet with their chosen pet. Same day adoptions are not done, so please apply in advance of any adoption event to give us time to check vet and personal references and to complete the video home visit.
