Marquis

Foster Notes: Marquis is a true family cat at heart - she adores being included in family time, and is happiest when treated like part of the group. Marquis takes her role as family member so seriously that she prefers to eat her meals with company and will even wait for you to join and pet her before she settles down to eat and chirp contentedly. She will work hard to include herself (or make sure you feel included!) in all that you do. She is a very chatty lady and meows or yodels often for no apparent reason, but also prefers a quieter home and can be a little jumpy with sudden noises. Her foster family have noticed that she’s quite content with being held or picked-up, and will often happily stay for cuddles if you bring her to sit down with you. She also enjoys receiving pets from her perch, and if you lean in to hug her, you’ll hear her little purrs the whole time. Despite what she’s been through, her gentleness and patience are her best qualities and she’s been nothing short of a sweetheart. She’s sure to make any home feel whole - she’s just happy to be included. Health Notes: Being abandoned, we don't have a medical history for Marquis. Although no spay scar nor tattoo was found, our Veterinary partner believes by other signs (including not going into heat since being in care since March) that she is already spayed. When found, her abdomen appeared to have been shaved, but the fur has been very slow to grow back in. She had 4 teeth removed and a dental cleaning while in care. She was at first reluctant to jump up, so an xray was done and results indicate left hip dysplasia. She now jumps up on furniture but we are mindful of how high it is for her to get down. She may in future benefit from a supplement like cosequin and maintaining a healthy weight will also be of benefit to her. She had one incidence of a urinary infection early on, which seems to have cleared up with a round of antibiotics and urinary support food. She now eats regular food with no issues. She prefers dry food (a small kibble) so making sure she drinks plenty of water will help her maintain urinary health.
