Calico and Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

A5744998 Patches
is a sweet 16-year-old female domestic shorthair calico with a tiny frame, a beautiful coat, and the sweetest pink nose. Surrendered by her owner on December 17, 2025, Patches may be a senior, but she still has a curious, playful spark. She loves exploring her surroundings, climbing, and checking out the world around her — a little springy, athletic soul who would adore a cozy cat tree or tower.

Patches is friendly but she’s been dealing with an upset tummy and is currently being treated and is on the mend. This lovely senior girl deserves a warm, safe, and loving home where she can enjoy comfort, enrichment, and affection in her golden years.
