Hi, I'm Marvin! I would really like a home with another cat or maybe even with one of my sisters — Mango or Kango! I think I'd learn a lot from another cat as I need a bit of confidence building. I'm always up to
something with my sisters, throwing toys around, turning our food bowls
upside down and if a human turns around to see what all the fuss is about we quickly sit down and act all innocent!

Tulip by name and a little flower by nature! Tulip is a former teenage mum who deserves to be spoiled. She is a little shy of loud, noisy people but is learning to love long pats and tummy rubs. She's even learning how to play! Tulip is a shoulder snuggler with a curious but shy personality. She has a friendly interest in other cats but isn't too sure about dogs at this point. She would suit a loving home, and with patient handling her personality will soon come out to shine. Tulip should be an indoor cat for a while until she learns to come to her new people.
