Meet Cali

Meet Cali! A serene six-and-a-half-year-old Domestic Short Hair from Oak Hill, WV , whose calico coat mirrors the gentle warmth she brings into every room she graces. Cali is a sweet soul with a heart as tender as her gaze. She’s the kind of feline who doesn’t just live in a home—she becomes a part of it. Laid-back and affectionate, she melts into your lap if you’ll let her, always up for a cuddle or a quiet moment beside you. Her love for companionship extends beyond just people—Cali is wonderfully compatible with other cats, big dogs, and children of all ages, making her a harmonious addition to families of all shapes and sizes! She’s beautifully well-mannered and uses her scratch board like a true pro. When she's not seeking out affection or chasing a playful impulse around the room, you might find her lounging like a queen among the houseplants, gazing peacefully out the window at the flutter of birds and sway of trees. Her gentle curiosity and quiet presence are truly therapeutic. Cali has a quirky little charm too—one of her eyes waters a bit, but her vet assures that it’s nothing to worry about. It’s just one more unique thing that makes her special. She’s up to date on her vaccinations, spayed, and ready for the next chapter in a new loving home! This graceful girl has experienced some big life changes—after first losing her original pet parent in late 2023, Cali was lovingly taken in by a family friend who cared for her until their recent passing in March 2025. Through it all, Cali has remained a beacon of calm and kindness, her gentle spirit unwavering. Her new family will be supported too—her current caregivers are happy to help cover food and vet costs to ensure a smooth transition into her next loving environment. Could your home be the next chapter in Cali’s storybook life? She’s ready to meet you, warm your lap, and fill your days with soft purrs and gentle affection. Ready to welcome Cali into your family? Reach out to [email protected]—she’s waiting to meet you!
