Marguerite - WKTV Journal

This little lady is a sweetie. No calico ‘cattitude’ here.

Each week WKTV features an adoptable pet—or few—from an area shelter. This week’s beauty is from Crash’s Landing. Crash’s Landing and Big Sid’s Sanctuary rescue organizations were founded by Jennifer Denyes, DVM (Dr. Jen), who is on staff at Clyde Park Veterinary Clinic (4245 Clyde Park Ave SW).

This little lady’s family was being evicted right around Halloween 2018, so one of our volunteers stepped in and asked if she could rehome their two kitties; thankfully they accepted the generous offer. So, the rescuer took the duo home with her and set them up in temporary kitty condos until she could get them out to the clinic to see Dr. Jen for veterinary care. One of the two thought her new surroundings were the bee’s knees but the other, a sourpuss, wasn’t having any of it.

Magnificent Marguerite (born in March of 2012) checked out just fine, but at the time we didn’t have any room at Crash’s for this front-declawed calico cutie. (The sourpuss, unfortunately, didn’t meet our program requirements, attitude-wise.)

On Nov. 26, our lighthearted, lovely lady came in for a recheck (she had tested negative for both FELV and FIV) and received her second round of vaccines and deworming — we had a spot for her at Crash’s that she could claim entirely as her own. From the minute she sauntered into the shelter, Marguerite acted as though she owned the place and settled in immediately, finding her niche and fitting in very nicely.

Marguerite is a confident, yet laid-back cat who loves people sooooo much that she is never scarce when a human is around. She adores snuggling, thrives on attention and gets along famously well with her furry roomies, so finding her a home should be easy, since she will adapt to any surroundings (as long as she’s indoors). It is an understatement to say that this kitty has stolen all of our hearts. She is truly a gem of a cat, a rare find in a world of disposable pets treated like possessions and not the precious creatures they are.

Marguerite is the epitome of purrrrrrfection, and the lucky family who makes her their own will have a real treasure on their hands—and in their laps.
