NYC Pet of the Week: Meet Marge

GIVE PEACE—AND PURRS!—A CHANCE
Even though she is a bit shy, Marge, a 2 1/2-year-old kitty currently at the ASPCA Adoption Center, is very sweet and enjoys socializing. “She likes to be picked up inside her bed, like a taco!” says Kat Miller, ASPCA Senior Behavior Counselor, describing Marge’s peaceful approach to playtime.

Marge came to the ASPCA as a young cat and was quickly adopted. But upon being diagnosed with moderate inflammatory bowel disease, she was soon brought back. Unable to afford Marge’s treatment, her owner wanted the cat to be in a loving home that could.

Marge is now on medication and a low-fat, high-fiber diet, and is available for adoption. The ideal home for her a kitty with her mellow personality and health needs? A quiet household with kids age 10 and up.

Come meet Ms. Tranquility for yourself at our Adoption Center at 424 East 92nd Street, or call the Animal Placement department at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4120. To see some of the other animals at our shelter who are waiting for homes, please visit our Available Animals list.
