About California Girl

California Girl, or Cali for short, brings a whole mix of classic cat colors in one torbie coat—orange, black, white, and gray. She’s known for being a “self petter,” which means if you give her a hand, she’ll help herself to plenty of gentle rubs. Cali has a calm, easygoing personality and prefers a quieter home where she won’t be overwhelmed by constant noise or traffic. She is significantly overweight right now and will need a wet food diet as she works on slimming down, so her adopter should be comfortable keeping her on a strict feeding plan. Cali is truly a sweetheart—she’ll win over anyone willing to give her space and affection. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
