Miss Margie is ready for adoption and a new plot twist in her life
“She’s so fluffy!” Agnes would certainly squeal if she saw Miss Margie. Miss Margie is currently residing in the “fluffy” room of cats at Pet Refuge. She is a 10-year-old domestic long hair with the most vibrant green eyes. When she was first brought to Pet Refuge she was confused and missing her people. This senior was the very definition of “being a scaredy cat.” Miss Margie is resilient though and is slowly becoming more comfortable with people and she is now curious enough to desire interaction with them. She longs for love and attention. If you have a lap that isn’t being used, this sweet beauty would be happy to curl up on it and watch a little television with you. Evidently, her favorite show is “The Young and the Restless” and if you enjoy watching daytime TV, then Miss Margie is the purr-fect fit. Call today to set up a meet and greet with Miss Margie and be ready to discuss life’s next plot twist.
