Calista is a true trooper who has made remarkable progress in a short amount of time. She has earned an A+ for how far she’s come—she plays, uses her litter box perfectly, eats well, and comes running the moment she hears the treat can rattle. She’s smart, observant, and curious, spending her days prowling through the house, sniffing, exploring, and even opening cupboard doors to check where the food is kept.
Calista is not a cat who enjoys being held or petted, and she does not seek out cuddles or bedtime companionship. She doesn’t come when called and prefers to move through the world on her own terms. What she does need is time, patience, and a deep respect for her boundaries. With space and consistency, she continues to show growth and confidence every day.
Calista cannot thrive in her current environment, but with the right person—someone calm, understanding, and experienced—she has the potential to continue blossoming into a confident, secure companion.
Ideal Home: A quiet home with a patient, loving owner who understands that trust is earned slowly and affection may look different with Calista.
If you believe love doesn’t have to be rushed and are willing to give a cat the time she needs, Calista is waiting for someone just like you.

More about this shelter
Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions is a nonprofit organization dedicated to cats and people in our community. We provide counseling, information, and resources to empower people to support their cats and others in the community. If cats cannot stay with their families or neighborhoods, we prioritize our intake on cats most at risk - cats in need of rehoming; kittens who need specialized care; and cats who have been abandoned, are sick or injured, or are not thriving in the community. We are committed to ensuring the highest level of attention and care for cats in our adoption program and provide a modern, free-roaming adoption center to minimize stress, serve the individual needs of each cat, and set up both cats and adopters for success.
