About this Cat
SWEETHEART WITH A SOFT SOUL Meow! I’m Marissa, born around May 5, 2021—a gentle spirit wrapped in a soft, velvety coat. I’m a true sweetheart who thrives on quiet affection and tender moments. If you speak to me in a soft, soothing voice, I’ll melt into your presence, soaking up every gentle pet like the warm sunbeam I adore lounging in. My calm and composed nature means I prefer the peaceful rhythm of relaxation over the chaotic chase of toys. Instead of wild play, I cherish lazy afternoons basking in sunlight, soaking in the warmth while dreaming sweet dreams. Though I’m independent and value my space, I treasure the company of my human friends and respond best to those who approach me with patience and kindness. I can be a bit timid and easily startled, so I flourish best in a calm, serene home. I get along beautifully with other cats who respect my gentle demeanor, and I’m most comfortable with older, considerate children who understand the art of quiet companionship. While I haven’t yet met dogs, I’m confident with time and the right introduction, I could adapt. Currently, I’m waiting at the Kitty Corner, hoping to find my forever home with someone who appreciates a sweet soul who loves life at a gentle pace. Could that someone be you?
Contribute to Marissa's Stash!

100% of Marissa's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Marissa.
Adopt Marissa and Receive Marissa's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Marissa's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Marissa's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Marissa, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Marissa's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Marissa was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Marissa’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Marissa’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Marissa’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
