Oh, let me tell you about Calliope! 🌟 This striking 8-month-old male long-haired kitty is a real stunner with his dazzling Van pattern. But his journey has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride, and he’s looking for a very special, loving home. Imagine this sweet little guy witnessing something heart-wrenching involving his siblings and then being trapped in a new location for nearly two months! 😿 After being found with another group of kittens, likely his adorable nieces and nephews, Calliope was understandably fearful while they blossomed into social butterflies and found their forever homes. There was even a moment when his caring foster mom thought about returning him to his original home to be with his mother, but thank goodness she chose to give him the time and love he truly needed to adjust and thrive! As those other exuberant kittens were whisked away to their forever families, Calliope started feeling the pangs of loneliness. However, each day, he began to see his human companions in a softer, sweeter light. Initially, it was all hisses and hiding, but with patience, playtime, and some irresistible treats, he began to warm up. ❤️ How incredible is that? Due to his shy nature, there may be some remnants of past trauma, so Calliope will flourish in a calm and serene environment—maybe one that’s quiet and free from the hustle and bustle of young children. He just adores his cat tree, joyfully watching the world go by from the window, and loves the company of other furry friends—once he learns to trust them. His fluffy coat is a dream to pet, with a delightful checkerboard pattern on his head and a floofy black tail, plus that striking black spot on his side is just the cherry on top! 🎂 Are you the gentle soul who can provide Calliope with the safe, loving, and patient home he deserves?
