Hi my name is Cali!
I'm adoption-ready and with my foster family!
Cali is currently in foster care and ready for adoption via our virtual process!
Cali, a three-year-old female, just arrived and is still getting settled in, so we’re just beginning to learn who they are. Right now, everything is new—new people, new sounds, new routines—and we’re giving them time to relax, decompress, and show us their true personality at their own pace.
Here’s what we know so far about her time in foster care: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UOlBpfPSeYdDCC5P7SRK-Cg0Ikm4ZuBY/view?…
Her foster says "Cali has really blossomed during her time in foster care. She's become much more relaxed, confident, and affectionate, while growing less skittish and more adventurous. Her curiosity and playful energy have never faded, and she's been such a sweetheart. She has lots of energy, loves chasing and batting around toys, and gets very excited during playtime. She's also very curious and confident. After a very brief period of hiding when she first arrived, she quickly began exploring her surroundings and wanted to know what was going on. Overall, Cali has a wonderful temperament—she's friendly, loving, playful, and has maintained a positive attitude even through recovery from surgery. I think she'll make a fantastic companion for someone looking for an affectionate cat with a fun, playful personality. My favorite thing about Cali is how quickly she makes you feel like you're her favorite person—she'll greet you with sweet head butts, snuggle right up next to you, and always wants to be close. She's also endlessly curious about the world around her, and watching her explore everything with such enthusiasm is incredibly endearing. Cali has the personality of a goofy little dog—she'll randomly hop onto the couch while I'm watching TV, flop dramatically across my lap, and make herself completely at home. Her silly, carefree attitude and confidence always make me laugh. She has been getting more affectionate and cuddly over time, especially since recovering from moving from South Carolina up to a shelter and recovering from her injury at the same time. She loves headbutting me, waking me up by cuddling jn the crook of my arm in the morning - it's so sweet. "
She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and has had preventative treatments to ensure she is ready for her next steps.
