He’s only 5 months old, but he’s already the size of a full-grown cat. He’s a transfer from another rescue in a different city that doesn’t have a FeLV area, so they could only keep him in a cage. Here, he has plenty of space, a catio, and lots of friends (he’s already getting to know them and starting to play with them!)

Marrau is a hugger. Ever since we rescued him, when he had an abscess on his face, he has always wanted to be held. When the abscess burst and he had to have it cleaned and get staples, he let them do the entire procedure as long as he was being held. And whenever something makes him a little anxious, he looks for a hug.

But the sweetest thing is that you can actually feel him relaxing. He may start off acting anxious because he’s nervous, but once he’s in your arms, you can feel his whole body relaxing second by second until he’s completely calm. Then he just stays there until he falls asleep or starts purring.

This time, he decided to give the ultrasound technician a hug after his ultrasound for his abdominal hernia
