About Marcus - Located in North Melbourne
My name is Marcus and I’m a shy guy, here’s my story so far…
I’ve stayed with a few foster carers, and it’s always taken me several weeks to warm up to them. Usually I hide in the darkness, only appearing for food and toilet breaks. Once I get to know you and my ‘hood, I’ll start hanging out in the open more frequently, maybe even give away a few kisses and head butts here and there.
I’ve been with my current human for over a year now, and genuinely adore her. I look forward to daily pats, chin rubs and cuddles - I just don’t like to be carried, that’s all.
I am an independent boy, but quite a worrywart. I’m terrified of sudden noises, and I’m not sociable at all. When other people are over, I perform my infamous Houdini magic trick! Zoom meetings are an exception though, I’ll gladly wiggle my booty in front of total strangers online.
Most of my teeth have been pulled out due to a history of negligent oral care, prior to being rescued, but this hasn’t stopped me from having a huge appetite! I munch on dental biscuits, they also help to keep my mouth clean!
My purrfect match would be a human who is also independent, as well as patient, and who will wait for me to decide (on my terms) when we become friends. I will eventually reward you with lots of LOVE, so rest assured it will be worth it.
Marcus had a recent dental check and has about 10 teeth left. He needs to be fed dental biscuits to improve his dental health. He may need the remaining teeth extracted in the future.
