Shelby is a friendly and playful calico short-haired kitten. Her striking coat features beautiful black, orange, and white markings, accompanied by a distinctive black tear on the right side of her face. Rescued from a hoarding situation, she has come a long way in her comfort with humans, eagerly joining in for pets and play. While she enjoys interacting, she can startle easily, so a gentle approach is best. Shelby is particularly enchanted by wand toys and cannot resist swinging playthings. Spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and tested negative for feline leukemia/FIV, she’s all set for her forever home. Born around April 20, 2026, she would thrive best when adopted with one of her siblings, Winslow or Demi, or into a home with another cat. Fun fact: calicos are Maryland's officially designated state cat and are thought to bring good luck and happiness in Japan. If you’re interested in adding this playful kitten to your family, connect with her foster mom, Christine, for more information.
