Approximate Age (As of 2017): Less than 1 year Breed: Siamese Status: FELV+ Date Arrived: August 2017 Arrival Location: Florida Marlo was rescued from Florida where she had been living, with a sibling, as a stray in a neighborhood. Someone in the neighborhood started threatening to kill both the cats when that person's next door neighbor stepped in, caught them, and took them to the vet. There Marlo tested positive for feline leukemia, her sister tested negative though, and from there they were moved into separate foster care. (As far as we know her sister was adopted). From there she stayed in a foster home while they attempted to find her a home - not easy for a FELV+ cat - and they were running out of time and resources. A wonderful woman named Davica, who often utilized her job at an airline to assist in animal rescue transports, heard about Marlo and contacted us. With her help she had Marlo flown first class to Raleigh, where another volunteer transporter, Thorn, picked her up and drove her the rest of the way to us. She is a beautiful, sweet, and playful little girl who has been adjusting well to her life at BCR. You may watch her live 24 hours a day on her MeShare camera. She is in House 2, Room 2.
Two and a half years ago sweet Marlo arrived flying into our hearts with our fly Angel Davica from Florida.  She had been rescued from living on the streets when a neighbor was threatening to kill her and another cat.   With the help of our ground Angel Thorn, she arrived to safety.     She was leukemia positive. Marlo had started losing weight and had been to the vet twice in the last  10 days. Friday the vet did an ultrasound and found fluid in her chest in her chest cavity and the test showed it was lymphoma.  (Cancer)  We knew her chest would continue to fill and her time was coming to a close. But she was not saying she was ready, yet.   We brought her home for her last few days for extra loving and time.  It was a beautiful weekend and she spent time lounging in the sun.  Today she was not eating, and clearly said it was time.  Her breathing was very fast and shallow,  we knew that soon she would be in serious distress.    She and I made our final trip to the vet.  The vet and I agreed it was time to let her go.  We believe and my promise to the cats is letting them go on a good day, not waiting until it is a bad day, not letting them suffer.   We kept our promise to her,    She crossed over the rainbow bridge in my arms.  Marlo will be remembered for being one heck of a bug killer.  If you were a bug on her patio,  you were toast :)   She was very friendly,  very playful and will be very much missed.  We were blessed to have been able to have 2 1/2 years with her.
