Marble came to us because his owner had passed away and the family was not able to care for him and his roommates, Ebony and Twilight. Fortunately Twilight has already been adopted. Marble is currently the oldest feline at our facility, at over ten years old.
Marble is a grand old sole, a big friendly orange tabby looking for some much needed attention and loving. The thing with Marble is that he has a bit of a short attention span. He loves petting and attention and will follow you around all day long monitoring your duties and what is happening, but he has a limit and lets you know when he has had enough loving for now. Although Marble does like attention and petting, he has shown us that he prefers petting on the head and neck area but would rather you not go any further. Unfortunately Marble does get a lot of mats in his coat but doesn't like to be brushed. To keep on top of the mats requires much patience and daily vigilance.
His purr is resounding, his appreciation for attention is obvious but his does have his limits. Understanding this personality quirk is essential to understanding the little gentleman himself. We love him and he loves us, but we have to abide by his limitations. He is basically a happy older gentleman who just wants a home of his own.
