Meet Cali. At just 1½ years old, Cali is a sleek black cat, her quiet presence defined by a gentle heart and cautious approach to life. She’s slow to trust at first—people still make her a bit nervous—but she’s made real strides, inching forward for a squeeze treat or settling in for gentle pets once she feels safe. Hand her a tube of treats and you’ll see her open up, almost as if you’ve been granted backstage access to her private world. Cali finds her footing when she has other cats around; their confidence gives her comfort, and she prefers a calm household that will let her move at her own speed. She thrives on routine, enjoys the security of a cozy hiding spot, and would rather stay away from noise or chaos. For Cali, another cat in the home is a must, and she will do best with patient, understanding adults who get shy cats. She’s not the type to meet you at the door, but once you earn her trust, you get a companion who makes every bit of progress meaningful. She has tested negative for FelV and FIV, and has received all age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming. Cali is spayed, microchipped, and will go home with a starter kit of food, treats, and more. Cali is in Bolton, CT. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
