Calliope's Story

Meet Calliope, a gentle little girl with a whole lot of love hiding underneath her timidness.<br/><br/>Calliope can be pretty timid at first, and she likes to pretend she’s not quite sure about you. She may walk right up, change her mind, and scamper away—only to sneak back a few minutes later so she can rub against you when she thinks you aren’t looking. Once she feels comfortable, her sweet and affectionate side starts to shine.<br/><br/>She is braver with her foster kitty sidekick nearby, so she would do well with another animal friend in the home to help guide her. Calliope is incredibly gentle, even during playtime. While other kittens may be busy batting and pouncing, she’s just as happy rubbing against her toys and investigating them at her own pace.<br/><br/>Calliope would be perfect for a patient home that will give her the time and reassurance she needs to come out of her shell. Earn her trust, and you’ll have a soft, sweet companion who may act shy—but secretly wants all the love you have to give. <br/><br/>Adoption fee is $65 and includes:<br/>spay<br/>age-appropriate vaccines<br/>FIV/FeLV testing<br/>flea/tick/heartworm prevention<br/>microchipping<br/>deworming
