My story

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

Calypso (Callie) — Gentle Soul, Loyal Friend, Love That Grows

Hi, I’m Calypso — but my friends call me Callie. I’m a soft-hearted young lady who was rescued and grew up at Stanislaus Shelter in Modesto, where I spent much of my kittenhood. Because of that, the world (and especially people) is still something I’m learning to trust — but my heart is huge, and my love runs deep once I feel safe.

Animals are my comfort zone. From the moment I arrived at my foster home, I confidently greeted the resident cat and dog with polite head-butts and instant friendship. I truly thrive when I have another friendly, outgoing animal by my side — someone to show me the ropes, invite me to play, and curl up with for naps. I’ll happily pester my furry siblings for cuddles, playtime, and companionship, so I’m looking for a social, energetic cat or dog who enjoys being adored as much as I do.

Humans take me a little longer — but I’m trying. With patience and consistency, I’ve learned that people can be safe too. I started allowing gentle pets in my favorite safe spots (especially my window hammock), and now I even sneak onto the bed at night for quiet snuggles. When you do pet me, I melt instantly — silky-soft fur, loud purrs, and all the love I’ve been saving up.

I’ll need time, calm energy, and understanding to fully trust — but with a patient adopter and a confident furry friend by my side, I blossom more every day. The bond we build won’t be rushed… but it will be deep, meaningful, and incredibly special.

Best fit: A loving home with a friendly, playful cat or dog, and a human who understands that the most rewarding bonds are sometimes the ones you earn.

Please note:

  • Calypso needs a playmate in her new home
  • Indoor only

More about this rescue

Every day adult and senior cats with treatable medical and behavioral conditions are euthanized. GIVE ME SHELTER's goal is to rescue these cats from certain death and place them into loving permanent homes.
GMS is a registered 501(c)3 organization and is dedicated to helping stop the overpopulation of unwanted and abandoned cats. We are a small group of dedicated volunteers who are committed to bettering the life of adult cats who no longer have a home to call their own. Every time you adopt from us, you allow us to save another cat that would have otherwise died. We receive new cats into our system almost every week. Our website is constantly being updated, so please check back often!
