Marcel

I sent my husband to the vet to pick up medicine for Bitsy and look what he brought home…

His name is Marcel…

…and he’s 7 years old.

His owner is in the hospital dying and Marcel needs a new home.  That’s all my husband had to hear… he brought Marcel home.

He’s very sweet, a little shy and he’s spent the last month at the vet just waiting for the right person to want him.  My husband thinks it was meant to be and there’s no doubt in his mind that Marcel was waiting for us.

Marcel’s had more than his share of hard times.  He once got caught in the engine of a car and he’s had some major surgery because of it.  It left him with a large chunk out of his hip area. We don’t mind a few imperfections.  It’s part of his charm.

Chelsea and Bitsy are really good with him but Mooch isn’t quite sure she likes him.  She puts up with him and I’m hoping she’ll come around.

Marcel hasn’t shared a house with other pets before but so far he’s doing just fine. He’s an amazing little black cat and I have totally fallen in love with him.

 I know it can’t be easy for a little cat to understand what’s happening but he seems to be settling in.  I hope he likes his new home :>)

    What a beautiful cat. What a lucky cat! It WAS meant to be . . . and I’m sure there’s a born quilter there . . . I can see it in his eyes. I hope Mooch comes around soon.

    I so like your husband!!!
    I fear Iam just like him. I cannot say no to an animal in need.
    I took my dog to the vet for shots, the vet (very nice man) saves animals that people want put down for the wrong reasons. He lets them play in the back halls and rooms to be socialized. I ended up taking one home. I have a weak spot for the handicapped and elderly. They turn out to be the hapiest and best friends.
    My 17 yr old cat, came with the house we bought. She she is funny and quite the priss, and we love her dearly.

    He’s beautiful!! I love his name, too! I wonder if he knows the dog who starred in The Artist? It’s a French thing. ;p

    How good of the vet to keep him and help him find a new home. It would probably ease his owner’s worries to know Marcel is now safe again. :)

    Okay, now I’m gonna cry…
