Marcella is a two-year-old female domestic long hair tabby. She was rescued from behind the Key Largo Kmart at three months old with her brother, Jerry, who is also available for adoption at the Upper Keys Humane Society (UKHS).
One day, there was bad weather and an area behind Kmart was flooded. Marcella was found here with her mother and two other siblings. Unfortunately, one of the kittens drowned. So Marcella, Jerry and their mom were brought into the shelter. All three were extremely feral. After the mom nursed them, UKHS spayed and released her. Marcella and Jerry became a little more friendly, but they were still scared. UKHS spayed, neutered and then released them.
Marcella started trusting UKHS staff and returned to the shelter. She has her own kennel and is still waiting for her “furever” home. She is friendly and likes to be petted. She will twirl around your legs and beg for attention. She knows which kennel is hers, and she will jump in it for lunch time. She gets along with other cats and does not mind dogs.
If you would like to make Marcella a part of your family, or to learn more about other pets available for adoption, give UKHS a call at 305-451-3848. UKHS is a not-for-profit no-kill shelter that provides food, shelter, medical care and adoption services for unwanted and abandoned animals.
