POW! Nature Painted Our Beautiful, Loving, Calico Missy
“Think about it: if the world could see how much adoption means from a cat’s point of view, shelters would be empty.”
– Hannah Simone, Canadian actress

Did you know that the term “calico,” as in a “calico cat” is not the breed of cat, but the various colors a cat wears? Some of the colors may be orange, black, white (always white), and brown. And cats that have the many colored coats are almost always a female.
Missy
Different breeds of cats can have a calico coat, even Maine coons, Persians and Domestic breeds.
Calico cats cannot be bred, so how do these beautiful cats continue to exist? It’s nature that makes the decision to paint one or more in a litter with the calico colors, completely at random.
And that’s where we begin our story of Missy, the 6-year-old owner-surrendered Domestic shorthair that just happens to wear the calico colors.
She is nothing if not discreet, her slanted green eyes searching your face for your intentions. Do you want to pet her, cuddle her, and give her all the scratches and pets that she craves?
She definitely deserves a lot of attention as she sits in quiet repose on her throne in the cat room. Her demeanor may seem aloof, but once she gets to know you, she is willing to spend all of her days sitting on your lap or sleeping by your side.
Once a kept feline, she now looks forward to finding the one family that will adopt her so she can fulfill her potential as an owned, special, loving cat!
