Calico Cats Available for Adoption in Medford, Massachusetts

My name is Flora. I’m a 2 year old long haired calico with a lot of white in my coloring, a beautiful calico tail and pretty green eyes.

I was thankfully surrendered by a woman who didn’t treat me well and when Kitty Connection met me they were concerned about my muscle tone and my coat being in very poor condition.

That was over a month ago. They have given me lots of time with just rest and recuperation. It took me about a week to come out from under my blanket and I still find this to be my most safe place. Second most safe place is under the desk. I instinctively run when my foster mom comes up to me but after the first week I realized I wanted to be touched and will come back to her for lots of petting and nuzzling my nose into her hand especially if she stops too soon.

My appetite is great, I'm gaining weight and my coat looks much better but I do still need more time to learn to trust humans.

My foster mom has some other cats and I can’t figure out yet what I think about them. One of them will chase me around the house and I don’t like it, but if he’s not chasing me I don’t mind sitting next to him under the desk. I’ve only gone out to explore the rest of the house a few times because this boy just doesn’t know how to give me space!

I am sharing my room with a kitten right now and I am curious about him so I stay out from under my blanket for more time during the day. Maybe I’m learning to be a little braver from him because I don’t hide as quickly and when I do I will come back out again sooner.

I really want to find my person….someone who has the patience I need to continue learning that humans can be good. I think I'm a quiet, low key kind of girl and whoever lives with me should enjoy that about me.

I might be ok with another cat as long as they are gentle and low key like me but I don’t think I would do well with the unpredictability of either young children or dogs.

If I sound like your kind of girl then I'd love to meet you!

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. Calicos are not a specific breed but rather a color pattern found in various breeds, including American Shorthair and Persian. They are typically lively, affectionate, and confident felines, making them popular and charming companions in many households.
