Calico Cats Available for Adoption

Hi! I'm Penelope. I was found on a farm where I had fun and adventures. Now, I'm at Paws Animal Shelter, hoping to find a new family. I love to play and explore, always curious about the world around me. I'm also really smart, quickly learning new games and tricks. When I'm not playing, I'm the sweetest companion, always ready to snuggle and listen to your stories. If you're looking for a gentle and joyful friend to share your life with, I'm the perfect kitten for you. Let's create our own adventures together!

Note from Paws human: Penelope showed up at a farm with her brother, who unfortunately was not tame. The farmer asked us to take in Penelope as she is so friendly they thought she would be a wonderful addition to any family. She really is a cute little thing. She's just a little shy at first, but she quickly makes up to people. She was adopted for a month by an elderly couple and was returned through absolutely no fault of hers. They said that after she was home with them for a week, she came out of her shell and started acting like a normal, playful kitten. They admitted that they should have put more thought into adopting a kitten.

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.
