Meet Miss Marilyn! Marilyn (a.k.a. Meow-ilyn Monroe) is a classic beauty. With a cute pink nose, white whiskers, green eyes, and gray "bangs," she really is like a silver screen star! Marilyn loves to "talk" to you and is quite the conversationalist. She loves chasing lasers but after a few strenuous minutes, zonks out. One minute zooming. The next out cold! Favorite past-times include: sleeping on her blankets, looking out the window while lounging on her cat tree (she loves squirrels and birds), throwing her catnip mice in the air, carrying the mice around in her mouth, eating, and yes, more eating (take a look at pictures from her early days in foster care - slim and trim - versus the later - much plumper - days in foster care). Marilyn is ready to find her forever home where she can be the star of the show!

The personality of a Diva: Marylin does not immediately warm up to just anyone. You have to earn her trust (smart kitty!). Unfortunately, in the foster/adoption world this is not a great thing... Adoption events are too scary for her, and she does not come right up to new people who want to meet her (nothing personal!). Marilyn requires a little patience. Let's say, a couple of weeks tops and she is good. Because of this Marilyn has been in foster care for quite some time and keeps getting looked over. However, after she understands that you are a "kind human" and not a "mean human" (from her previous life), she will be your best buddy. Marilyn loves to be petted but is not a lap cat. She does well with (calmer) respectful children. Marilyn would prefer to be an only cat but can learn to peacefully co-exist with other cats (with an occasional grouchy lady moment). She finds other cats and kittens quite fascinating - preferably from afar. Lol! She will "tolerate" other cats but most likely will not be their best cuddle buddy. Stranger things have happened though...

Marilyn's foster family loves her dearly but it is time for this kitty to find a home of her very own!
