Forced to brave the not-so-great outdoors<\/a> at just 4 months old, this kitten found herself in a sticky<\/em> situation. A combative resident in a rural North Carolina community called PETA, threatening to shoot the free-roaming cats belonging to his neighbor, who was out of town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly causing a traffic jam<\/em>, fieldworkers<\/a> rushed to the scene, securing all six felines before any harm could come to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe great outdoors\u201d? Not for cats! Being an indoor kitten is adoptable Marmalade\u2019s jam.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Marmalade\u2014as the group\u2019s tortoiseshell has since been named\u2014and her kitty crew were quickly chauffeured to a nearby safe harbor: PETA\u2019s shelter<\/a>. There, the cat clique proved to be remarkably social.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marmalade\u2019s good fortune didn\u2019t stop there: Her white knight\u2014er, dame, actually\u2014convinced the cats\u2019 owner to allow three of the cats to live indoors with her and allow PETA to help find other safe, loving homes for the remaining gals. All it took was one look into the newly spayed, tiny tortie\u2019s caramel eyes for two of PETA\u2019s kitten foster guardians to whisk Marmalade to their home for much-needed TLC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once indoors\u2014safely away from the dangers of cars, other animals, cruel humans, extreme weather, and disease\u2014and surrounded by her new seasoned foster siblings, this sweet girl quickly proved she\u2019ll live up to her sweet name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to her foster guardians, Marmalade sometimes plays hard to get at first but warms up quickly with a few kitten treats and a flick of a cat wand! She enjoys the company of other cats, and she adores humans who adore her\u2014she spends most days patiently demanding chin scratches from her foster guardians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marmalade\u2019s PETA foster guardians have made sure this kitten\u2019s sweetness is well-preserved!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Marmalade is roughly 16 weeks old. She has been spayed<\/a>, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. As she\u2019s grown, her foster guardians have come to notice that her trust and playfulness have grown, too. She is still learning a lot from her feline foster siblings, so bonus points to applicants who already have a social cat who can teach Marmalade how to \u201ccat\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
