Calico tortoiseshell Marge came into care because her owners were struggling with her aggressive behaviour. They'd been told that she was super affectionate and good with other cats but it turned out that Marge had lived in a multi-cat household and, because she struggled with this, spent most of her time living outside. Despite trying to integrate Marge in to the home, the cat resorted to hissing, scratching and pouncing to show her stress. So, when she arrived at the rescue we genuinely thought she might be feral: she was very angry and was not frightened to show her ninja moves. But she has her own room, with plenty of levels, hiding places and calming diffusers. 

When any animal comes in to the rescue, they have a check up with the vet, plus flea and worming. Marge certainly let us know that she was not happy and we wondered if she was in pain, so the vet suggested a pain-relief trial. The day after the visit to the vets, we started to have a different cat. No hissing and spitting when we went in to her room, so we decided to leave the pain relief and see how she went, well day by day we have the most amazing little cat. Marge is super affectionate and now loves a cuddle, she sheds a lot and has really got in to being brushed! Marge is a sensitive soul and wears her heart on her sleeve. Less is more with Marge.

Marge needs a quiet home, with no other cats or pets and an owner that is going to let her come to you.

However, given the time and space she needs, her new owners are going to have a brilliant little cat!
