About Callista

Callista has seen her share of ups and downs. She started life in a TNR colony in Jessup, raising four kittens before being adopted. Years later, she popped up in a hoarding case far from home, but she made her way back to a safe and caring foster. Callista is gentle and a bit reserved; she needs a few weeks to settle and build trust with new people. Once she feels secure, she enjoys attention—though always on her terms—and thrives as a calm, easygoing companion. She has always lived with other cats and would do best in a home that already has at least one feline friend. Patience and quiet are rewarded with her subtle affection and steady company. If you’re looking for a peaceful presence and have another cat in the house, Callista could be a perfect fit. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
