About Calista

Meet Calista! Calista joined our rescue this summer as a young kitten herself, pregnant and preparing to become a mother. At around 7 to 8 months old, she welcomed three adorable kittens and proved to be an extraordinary mom, often seen showering her babies with cuddles and kisses. Now that her little ones are about 14 weeks old and ready for their own homes, it’s Calista's turn to receive the love she deserves. She enjoys playing with wand toys and has a delightful independent streak, happily entertaining herself when she feels comfortable. Calista can be a bit shy at first but warms up quickly, revealing her playful and affectionate nature. She’s adaptable, content as a solo cat or with another feline friend. If you're interested in adopting her daughter Gomi, they would make a lovely duo to bring home. After nurturing her family, Calista is eager to be the center of attention in a new loving home. Could that be you?
