My story

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

**Meet Marci – A Gentle Senior Torti Looking for a Quiet, Loving Home 🧡🖤🐾**

Marci is a beautiful 12-year-old tortoiseshell lady with a soft presence and a tender heart. She spent her entire adult life in a loving home before coming into rescue due to the passing of her owner — a major transition for a cat who has known stability and routine for many years.

Marci is naturally shy and reserved, especially at first, but with time and patience she begins to relax and show her sweet, trusting side. She does best with gentle interactions and a calm environment, and she appreciates being allowed to settle in at her own pace. Once she feels safe, she’s comfortable with familiar people and enjoys quiet companionship.

She has some anxiety related to change, which can occasionally show up as over-grooming, but her medical history has been well-documented and she is otherwise in good health. A peaceful home with predictable routines will go a long way in helping Marci feel secure again.

Because her experience with other pets and children is unknown, Marci would likely thrive best as the center of attention or in a low-traffic household that understands senior cats and respects boundaries.

Marci doesn’t need much — just patience, kindness, and a soft place to land. If you’re looking to open your heart to a senior cat who deserves comfort, dignity, and love in her golden years, Marci would be deeply grateful to call you home. 🐾💛
