My name is Marlowe!

Microchipped, DOB August 22, 2021

If there’s one thing Marlowe truly loves, it’s other cats. He is happiest snuggled up with his brothers, often stretched out on the couch with them completely relaxed; when they are around, Marlowe feels especially secure and will even lounge around with his belly exposed. While he loves to snuggle on the couch with his brothers, he also loves to play, be it the turbo chaser, a box with some tissue in it, or a paper bag.

Marlowe came from a hoarding situation, so it took him some time to learn that humans can be trusted, but since moving into foster care, he has shown himself to be quite gentle and calm. However, he is still shy, but in a very specific way - he’s curious about people and wants to be near them, he just doesn’t want to be touched. When someone reaches out to pet him, he reacts more out of confusion and mild objection than fear, as if worried you might be giving him cooties. That said, when Echo is being petted, Marlowe sometimes joins in, clearly enjoying it while still unsure how to feel about human hands.

He’s confident enough to hang out and observe the household, often watching everything from a comfortable “safe spot."

While Marlowe isn’t a lap cat and can’t be picked up, he does enjoy sleeping near you. With patience, gentle respect for his boundaries, and another friendly feline companion in his adoptive home (which is a must), Marlowe will thrive. He would be absolutely thrilled to be adopted with one of his brothers, Echo or Pheonix.
