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 sweet little guy I am sure he will really love your home and all of your other animals. He is one lucky boy getting to live with you.

Hi Anne,
Gosh, another tear inducing story! I wrote you a while back when you wrote “It Came Without Ribbons”. I had read that story outloud to my college aged son and told you how my daughter was bringing her new kitten home during her Christmas break. You wrote the sweetest e-mail in response. Well, our three kitty’s had a bit of a hard time with that, but they are all friends now. I think Marcel is going to fit in just fine with your loving family of wonderful pets. Your husband is a special man with a big heart and I wish you many happy years with your beautiful new addition! Don’t ever stop writing about your pets! Your pictures and stories about them mean so much to many people. Yesterday we smelled gas in the house and took our three cats outside (in the Minnesota winter!) with us until it was checked out. Our furry little babies did their best to wake us up by jumping on and off of us and meowing REALLY loud! Thankfully, everything turned out OK (a car battery that was plugged into a charger got fried). I’m just glad we were home with them to get them outside before the fumes in the house got so bad that they may have been harmed. Long story short, our little rescue kitties probably rescued us! What would we do without our beloved pets? Take care and congratulations on your new kitty!

Oh Anne, I’m a sucker for an animal story with a happy ending! Marcel is GORGEOUS, look at those eyes! Don’t you worry, Mooch and Marcel will be best of friends and getting up to all sorts of antics before you know it. Truly, what one doesn’t think of, the other will, at least that has been my experience when introducing a new furry family member to my already established ones. Especially cats. Hugs…(and an extra big hug to your hubby for rescuing Marcel HUGZZZZZ)
