About Patches

Patches is a charming 10-month-old calico cat searching for a loving home alongside her buddy Speckles. These two girls came to us in August 2025 and share a close bond that's hard to break. Patches is a Manx and uniquely does not have a tail, while Speckles sports a lovely one with more black coloring on her face. Both are a bit shy and need a gentle, quiet environment to feel secure and thrive. They will flourish in a home where they can take their time adjusting, ideally with a patient adopter who understands their needs. Once comfortable, they enjoy engaging with fishing pole type toys, making playtime a joy when they find their confidence. They do well with children and other cats, adding to their appeal as wonderful companions. If you're ready to welcome these two affectionate girls into your life, reach out to schedule a meet and greet. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
