About this Cat
Meet Marlo & Gladis – Shadow Twins with Golden Eyes and Gentle Souls ✨ At first glance, you might think you’re seeing double – and honestly, you kind of are. Marlo and Gladis are two sleek black kittens with glowing gold eyes and matching shy-but-sweet personalities. Dropped off at the rescue scared and unsure, these twin-like sisters have been slowly learning that people can actually be… kind of wonderful. They’re not the type to launch into your lap (yet), but they will greet you with soft purrs when they see you – which is basically their way of saying, “Hey, we’re working on it.” They’ve come a long way and are starting to lean into gentle pets, cozy naps, and low-stress playtime. Marlo tends to be the braver of the two, dipping her toes into trust just a little faster, while Gladis follows her lead with cautious optimism. Together, they’re a quiet little duo with a ton of love to give – once they feel safe enough to give it. Marlo & Gladis are looking for: A patient, calm home that understands slow is smooth and smooth is fast Ideally adopted together – they're each other's security blanket A family willing to celebrate every tiny milestone (like the first time they blink back at you or nap in the same room without hiding) If you believe the best things in life are worth waiting for – and you happen to love the idea of having two tiny shadows with purr motors – Marlo and Gladis just might be your perfect pair. I just joined my foster family and we are still getting acquainted with one another. Once they learn more about me, they will add more information here! Gladis was found as a stray. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals. Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
Contribute to Gladis's Stash!
100% of Gladis's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Gladis.
Adopt Gladis and Receive Gladis'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, Gladis's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Gladis's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Gladis, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Gladis'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 Gladis was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Gladis’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Gladis’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, Gladis’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!
