Notes from Operation Pets Alive

Foil aka

Marshmallow:

Marshmallow — Sweet CH Kitten Seeking a Gentle, Understanding Home

Although her name given when brought into the shelter is Foil, we have been calling her Marshmallow. She is a soft gray‑and‑white with long elegant legs. A CH kitten rescued at just a few days old and bottle‑fed until six weeks. Marshmallow is playful, curious, cautious, and incredibly cuddly. She loves ribbons, balls, exploring, and quiet snuggles — and she also enjoys having her own private hideaway spaces, especially her covered cat beds where she feels safe and cozy.

Marshmallow has cerebellar hypoplasia, so she wobbles when she walks and needs assisted feeding, in time she will likely learn to eat on her own. She is smart, alert, and litter‑trained. She communicates with a low growl when she needs help getting to the litter box and thrives with a calm routine and gentle support.

She would do wonderfully in a home with another CH cat and a loving family who understands her needs and appreciates how special she is. Marshmallow will bring quiet joy, sweetness, and so much love to the right home.

Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH): CH is a neurological condition affecting balance and coordination. It is not painful, contagious, or progressive, and cats with CH can live long, happy lives. They simply have a wobbly or unsteady gait and often adapt remarkably well. Source: VCA – Cerebellar Hypoplasia in Cats
