Calico and Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

After a lifetime of loving cats, I can say without hesitation that Mabel is the sweetest cat I’ve ever known. She’s the kind of companion who just gets you — always wanting to be close, always ready to share quiet moments by your side.

Mabel’s favorite things are simple and perfect: lounging in sunny windows, chasing her beloved toy mouse, and curling up on your chest for long, cozy purring sessions. She wants to be wherever you are, happily following you from room to room just to be part of your day.

Mabel does have a sensitive side and can become overstimulated, so she truly thrives in a calm, peaceful environment. She isn’t a fan of sharing her space with other animals — especially those her size — and prefers to be the center of attention (as any queen should!). Because of this, she’ll do best as the only pet in a quiet home where she can fully relax and feel secure

Mabel lives in Portland with her owner and her rehoming fee is $100. Mabel is indoors only.

This cat is offered for adoption due to the owner's personal circumstances.

The Calico cat is known for its unique tri color coat pattern of white, orange, and black. These cats are almost always female due to their genetics, with their striking coats often displaying a patchwork appearance.

They are typically lively, affectionate, and confident felines, making them popular and charming companions in many households.
