My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Calista is a beautiful calico mama born in March 2022 who came into foster care with her five kittens. After surviving on the streets as a stray, Calista has blossomed into an affectionate and curious kitty.

Calista is shy when meeting new people, but she warms up quickly — and once she trusts you, she becomes talkative and eager for pets. Calista loves exploring her surroundings. She enjoys elevated spots like cat trees and windows. She has adorable bursts of playfulness and never turns down a treat. She’s also fully litter box trained.

Although she's not a "lap cat," she loves sitting close to her people. Calista is an excellent work-from-home buddy. She’s respectful of your space and loves simply being in the same room, keeping you company while you work.

Calista needs a calm household and would be fine as an only cat or with another laid-back cat that would give her space. She will hiss and growl to set boundaries, but is not aggressive. Dogs are a bit scary for her, but she's a brave girl and could likely adjust to living with a calm, cat-friendly dog that respects her space.We only adopt to people in the St. Louis METRO area.

More about this rescue

St. Louis Pet Rescue is a non-profit rescue group focusing on saving pets from local animal control facilities and other neglect situations.

We do not have a facility. All of the pets we rescue are in loving foster homes. Foster homes provide love, care training, and, if needed, rehabilitation to the pets. This also allows the pet to be more adjusted when they enter their forever home since they are used to a home environment (versus a kennel at the pound).
