Marshall 12/15/2020

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK!

Meet Marshall. Don't let his face fool you, he is a big cuddle bug! He

may be shy at first but will warm up very quickly. He likes to hide

under his blankets, curled up in a ball on a lap. Marshall is the type

of cat that you can have a conversation with. He'd meow your ear off if

he could! He has previously lived with other cats, but has not had

interaction with dogs.

Marshall's adoption fee is $25. This includes his neuter, vaccines, and

microchip as well as other various treatments. If you are interested in

Marshall's adoption, please call the shelter at 641-753-9046 to set up

an appointment today!
