About Chela

Yearning for a bit of magic in your life? Meet Chela, a charming dilute calico in Great Neck, NY. This petite beauty arrived on August 14, 2025, and embodies the enchanting spirit of calico cats. Known as lucky “money cats,” calicos have unique tri-color coats that have made them beloved companions. Chela’s journey hasn’t been easy; when her previous owners moved, they left her outside on her own. Luckily, a caring neighbor rescued her and brought her to the vet. Although she may be a bit shy, Chela is eager to share her love with a patient and gentle adopter. A single-kitty home might suit her best, allowing her to reign as the queen of her own castle. All the cats at Humane Urban Group come health-tested, vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. If you're ready to make Chela part of your family, fill out HUG’s online adoption form.
