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 :>)

Marcel is beautiful, Anne! You have a great husband to just bring Marcel home without stopping to think about it. I love the fact that your four-legged friends are all just part of the family.
I laughed and laughed at Chelsea’s reaction to Kim’s Dresden Bug! I could just see Chelsea’s concern, and it was priceless!

Oh Anne, I have tears in my eyes at this wonderful story. Please give your husband a big hug for me for being such a wonderful person. Marcel is just so handsome and he is one lucky black cat after such a sad time in his life. As a weak soul for stray cats (I have 4), you and your husband’s amazingly kind spirit towards Marcel touches my heart. Bless you all at Bunny Hill house.

Wow, he captured me with your first photo :D
Thanks for sharing, I just adore “meant to be….” stories and I’m thankful he now has y’all and you Marcel (his name is so cool).
