Crista Galli is a cute female Tuxedo kitten who was brought to the HSOV on August 20, 2025 along with her brother (Hamate) and their mother (Glory Pesto). This little family was found on Greene Street in Marietta, and Glory was doing her best to take care of her newborn babies who were just 5-days old at that time. Thankfully Glory and her kittens went home with one of our wonderful foster mothers on August 24th so that Gloria could raise her babies in a loving home environment instead of a small shelter cage.
This little playgirl has a black-and-white short smooth coat in a tuxedo pattern, white socks on her paws, a long tail, and an adorable face with golden eyes, a splash of white on her muzzle, a black velvet nose, and long white whiskers.
Crista Galli was given vaccinations and Pyrantel wormer on October 19, 2025. She weighed 1.3 lbs that day. Crista was given booster vaccines on November 9th and December 22, 2025.
Glory Pesto, Crista Galli and Hamate were returned to HSOV on December 23rd since the kittens were fully weaned. Crista and Hamate are currently sharing a double-wide cage in our Jungle Room. Momma Glory has her own private suite in the same room.
Crista has a fun-loving playful personality and scampers to the front of her cage when she anticipates the chance for attention. She is good with children as well as other cats.
We look forward to taking more flattering pictures of this little sweetheart but wanted to let potential adopters/rescue groups know that she is in our shelter.
Crista Galli will be spayed in the near future and will be ready to find a fabulous home of her very own. Naturally we'd love to see her adopted with her brother Hamate or her mother Glory Pesto .. Or better yet a family trio (smile).
