Calling all CALICO lovers ......

I know this gal won't last long .....

She is so beautiful !!!!

The owner said: "adult female calico named "Joey" declawed, litter trained, gentle, sweet disposition...would do well with older kids/adult, has never been around little kids or babies. has never hurt anyone!!!! moving, to good home please!"

I then asked if Joey got along with dogs and other cats and she said ....

"I have a large dog and no, Joey doesn't get along with her at all, stays under the bed when she is out of her crate. Joey got along with a male cat I had, but not another female which is weird because she grew up with the female cat. She is a loving very gentle cat and think she would do very well with an adult who could give her the attention she loves."

I am sure that someone here would love to snuggle up with Joey. She will be up-to-date on shots and have a negative FIV/FELV test prior to adoption. The fact that she is declawed means she needs to be an indoor-only kitty.

So they are moving and cannot take the cat...are they taking the dog?

I have no clue, however it does sound like the cat would be better off away from the dog. It may not even be "all dogs" - may just be the cat is afraid of just that dog?

I don't try to make sense of why people get rid of critters anymore, My goal is to find them all a (hopefully) forever home in which they will be loved and well-cared for.

Awww, what a beautiful kitty! I had a Calico for 18 years while growing up and she was the sweetest thing ever. Wish I could take her but we have a rescue cat who needs to be the only cat and a really big dog. Hope she finds a home soon.

Most cats do adjust to dogs being around, so I'm not sure why this one has an issue with the dog she has? That's why I said maybe it was just THAT dog that was an issue, you know?

The cat weighed in at the vet today at 16 lbs - wow what a big girl! She had her shots updated by the owner, and I will have the details on those in a few days.

So some of her important features are that she is a young Calico spayed female, is de-clawed, up-to-date on shots, has a microchip, uses her litter box well, and loves to be with people.

Already have a Calico, and a non classified cat that is a PITA, and the dog, Cant take another, however, for those considering, generally speaking, Calico's have a very nice disposition. But, they do tend to shed just a wee bit.

Also, in some cultures, the Calico, or Torti Cat is considered to be a LUCKY cat, bringing it's owner's wealth!
