I'm Callie! Adopt me!

Callie is an older lady who could use some love and grooming.

Callie, a nearly 9-year-old long-haired beauty, is a true gem who loves affection and the company of kids. Despite her unkempt coat and recent medical diagnosis of Hyperthyroidism, she’s full of love and ready for a home where she can shine. With proper care and a little grooming, this sweet and snuggly cat will make a wonderful companion for her forever family.

"You probably didn't know I was originally from Idaho, the Gem State! So, I like to think of myself as a true gem of a cat. My former name was Madame Fluff, which seems very appropriate. I am nearly 9 years old, and my latest owner had me for a year, but I was surrendered due to allergies. My newest name would indicate that I am a Calico cat. But I feel I am more like a long-haired Torbie.

"I recall that I enjoy the company of kids and love being held and playing with my human. My medical examination revealed that I have a common condition called Hyperthyroidism. It was apparent to the staff that my low weight and unkempt appearance suggested this disease. It can be managed with a twice-daily, reasonably priced medication. It can be given as a tablet or a gel that is wiped on my ears. With proper care, I can live a long, healthy life.

"It has been quite a while since I have been groomed, and I have loads of mats throughout my coat. But the interviewer lady soon found out that I am a love bug. I went right up to her and snuggled close to her shoulder. I crave affection and attention, and my sweet personality makes it easy to provide these. I may not be the largest kitty in the cattery, but I am one of the loveiest. I look forward to meeting my forever owner ASAP!"
