Calypso's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If you're working for home or just playing it safe by practicing social distancing, now is a perfect time to bring a new furry family member into the fold. Email us any questions about any cats we have and we will be happy to provide any additional information you may need. If you are approved for adoption, we are now doing curbside adoptions in order to minimize contact.<br/>Calypso is about 1 year old as of May 2025. She has spent a large portion of that time in confinement. That is not our usual protocol, but we were losing ground on her socialization when she came out of confinement. She was trapped as an older kitten with the intent to be socialized for adoption. Due to a series of unfortunate incidents, the window to return her back to her outside home closed, so we decided to continue efforts to socialize. Recently she has gained ground, and starts purring within a few minutes of being pet. She leans in for chin scratches, and starts to relax. She's nowhere near ready to be picked up, but she never tries the bite or scratch when pushed. She just wants to get away to her corner. We feel with time, and a small space with easily accessible spaces (no beds she can hide under) she will come around. It won't be easy, but nothing worthwhile is!<br/><br/>She adores other cats, and a super friendly cat would likely help her get acclimated even more quickly.<br/><br/>Apply for this beautiful girl now at safehousepets.orgAll of our cats have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, and tested for FIV/FeLV. Our adoption fee structure is as follows:<br/><br/>$75 - Kittens/Young (Up to 1 year)<br/>$50 - Adult (1 Year +)<br/>$25 - Senior (7 Years +)<br/>$0 - FIV +<br/>There is an additional $25 fee for cats considered to be an "Exotic" (Siamese, Persian, etc...)<br/>If you are a senior (65 years or older) you can adopt any of our senior cats (7 years or older) for only $10! Please mention this special when applying.<br/>We also have a kitten special - adopt 2 available kittens (1 year & under) for $125<br/><br/>While we try to keep our animal listings up-to-date online, sometimes the age range may be labelled incorrectly. Please don't hesitate to contact us for the most up-to-date information on a particular cat.<br/>Our cats are shown by appointment - we are a foster based rescue and so we don't have a location with set hours.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting or would like to meet our cats, please fill out our adoption application online at<br/>www.safehousepets.org/info/adoption<br/>and a volunteer will contact you promptly.
