Hi everyone, Marvin’s humans here.
We’re really sad to tell you that Marvin’s injuries were too much for him to recover from, and after a lot of tears we have made the heartbreaking decision to put him to sleep. He passed away peacefully with lots of hugs and kisses.
It was only a couple of months ago that we created this page, but in that time we’ve been amazed at the happiness he has brought to the many people that met him in and around the zoo - our only regret is we didn’t start the page sooner!
He was a stray that broke in through our cat flap more than seven years ago and never went away. He became part of our family, was loved by our children and even our other cat.
We’ll miss him chattering away, his love of ham and chicken, being woken up at 2am on a rainy night by what we thought was a howling drowned rat and his awful farting (he could clear a room with one blow from his bum!).
We’d love you all to post your best photos of him on here so everyone can see how much he was loved.
As heartbroken as we are, the fact that he has brought a bit of happiness to other people’s lives makes the loss a bit easier to deal with.
