Notes from Marshmallow Foundation

Herb is a sleek young brown tabby with the sweetest, permanently surprised little face. She’s a ninja librarian: whisper-quiet and polite, but secretly plotting world domination via feather wand.

She’s usually calm and low-key—soft slow-blinks and gentle tail flicks from her favorite perch. Add a toy and she becomes a tiny tornado of pounces, flips, and dramatic leaps, then instantly returns to dignified grooming.

She loves petting, weaving figure-eights and purring like a quiet motor. Pick-ups are welcome after playtime (she’ll climb right in), but random scoops turn her into a wiggly noodle.

Herb prefers to be the only cat. She gives one polite hiss as warning before going full swatty drama queen if crowded. With a calm, respectful cat, she’s happy to share sunbeams in peace.

If you want a velvety tabby who saves her voice, turns playtime into an Olympic event, and gives soft head boops on quiet evenings, come meet Herb. She’s saving her next silent pounce just for you.

Visitors to the shelter are by appointment only and after a form has been submitted online: https://www.marshmallowfoundation.org/forms/

  2. They will send you their application or ask a few questions about your home.
  3. Most organizations arrange a meet, sometimes a home visit, then a small adoption fee that usually covers spay or neuter and vaccines. That fee is paid to Marshmallow Foundation, never to AdoptNearby.
