Hi everyone, my name is Marshall
Marshall is a sweet, shy boy who is looking for a calm and patient home where he can feel safe and take things at his own pace. He may be reserved at first, but beneath his gentle caution is a soft, affectionate cat who blossoms with time and trust.
Having previously lived with other cats, Marshall could be happy sharing his home with another friendly, quiet feline companion. A calm cat friend may even help him feel more confident as he settles into his new surroundings.
Marshall would thrive in a peaceful household with a predictable routine and people who understand that confidence can’t be rushed. Once he feels secure, he begins to show his loving nature in quiet, subtle ways often choosing to stay nearby and enjoy gentle companionship.
He’s not a cat who demands attention, but one who earns your heart slowly and sincerely. With patience and kindness, Marshall will grow into a deeply rewarding companion.

Adopting an animal
Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.
Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.
- Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
- Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
- Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
- Do I have time for obedience training?
- If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
- Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
- Does the whole family want a pet?
- Will the pet be allowed inside?
- Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
- Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:
- Weekly animal food bills and necessities
- Yearly council registration
- Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
- Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
- Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
- Ongoing grooming
- Boarding fees for human holidays
- Enrichment like training, toys etc
