About Polly

Polly is a rare polydactyl calico-tabby who was left in someone’s yard with her brother, Hamilton. She’s got those striking extra toes—a detail that makes her look even more unique. Polly is a quiet cat who comes off as shy at first, but once she warms up, she’s extremely affectionate and enjoys close company. She’s genuinely gentle and gets along beautifully with both dogs and cats. While Polly may take a little time to trust, she’s one of those needy, loving cats who want to be close to their people (and her brother). She thrives in calm environments where patience and affection go a long way. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
