Marge's Profile
Hi, I’m Marge!
From my foster volunteer: “Once Marge settles into her home and feels safe, she will reveal her true nature which is a loving, kind, adorable companion. With gentleness and time she will begin to reward you with biscuit making, soft purrs and loving slow blinks, and she might just bring you one of her prized stuffed toys. I watched her grow from a scared, protective Mama to a sweet, loving friend who loved to lie beside me on the bed, just relaxing and enjoying being close. She was a great Mama who took such good care of her babies, and now sheâs ready to be the baby herself!”
The staff at the OHS call me a Poet! Did you know that Poets thrive in calm, stable environments? When things are a little too new and different, these kitties have a hard time showing their true personalities. Because Poets find change so hard, they usually like lots of safe places to hide and high perches to rest on. While each Poet is a little different, things that usually bring them out of their shell include playing with their favourite toys, eating some of their favourite treats, and seeking attention from their favourite people. During periods of change, Poets need a safe refuge where they be surrounded by these favourite things.
Poets can have different preferences, and it might take a little while to figure them out. Some Poets prefer play interactions where they can stalk and hunt in a fun game with you, while others may enjoy curling in your lap for a cozy snooze. While you may not see a lot of them at first, they’ll be thinking of you… and after they settle in, you’ll think they’ve always belonged!
I would have to live in a home with no young children.
