My name is Calliope!

Meet Calliope 🎻✨

Named after the muse of epic poetry, and frankly… she looks like she stepped straight out of one.

Calliope is a long-haired tortie masterpiece, the kind of cat who doesn’t just sit in a room… she composes the atmosphere. Rich swirls of color, dramatic fluff, and that unmistakable tortie expression that says, “I have opinions, and they are correct.”

Let’s talk personality, because she deserves honesty wrapped in admiration.

Calliope is:

* 🌙 Laidback and calm
* 🖤 Timid at first
* 🫶 Enjoys gentle pets once she trusts you
* 🪶 Independent and content in her own space

She is not the life-of-the-party cat. She’s the quiet poet in the corner, observing, choosing her moments, and appreciating a peaceful home.

She would thrive as:

* The only cat
* In a home without dogs, or possibly with a very small, very calm one who respects personal space
* With people who understand that love doesn’t always look like constant cuddling

Calliope doesn’t need expectations placed on her. She doesn’t need to be outgoing. She doesn’t need to perform. She simply needs a home that allows her to bloom at her own pace.

And let’s not overlook the obvious:
She is stunning. Her long, luxurious coat will require regular brushing to keep it soft and tangle-free, but grooming time can become a quiet bonding ritual. Think of it as tending to a living piece of art.

The right home for Calliope is one that values:

* Respect
* Patience
* Peace
* And the subtle joy of earning a shy cat’s trust

Because when a timid tortie chooses you? That’s not ordinary affection. That’s a privilege.

If your home leans calm, cozy, and low-drama, Calliope may be ready to compose her next chapter with you.
