About Belle

Belle is an older lady who knows what she wants and when. She likes humans on her terms. she is NOT a fan of other cats but tolerates humans. She will take time to warmup, but once she likes you, everything will be just fine. This senior lost her person and came in very sad. We would love for her to find another lap to sit in.

About Calico Cats

Calico is not a breed but a tri-color coat pattern featuring patches of white, black, and orange (or their dilute versions). Calico cats are almost always female due to the genetics of coat color being linked to the X chromosome. Found across many breeds and mixed-breed cats, calicos are beloved for their bold, patchwork beauty.

Adopting a calico cat means welcoming a uniquely marked companion whose personality is shaped by their individual breed heritage and background. Often described as sassy, spirited, and full of character, calico cats are among the most visually striking cats in any shelter. Their vibrant appearance and big personalities make them unforgettable companions.
