My story

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

Meet Calypso!

alypso’s story began with a mystery. One quiet morning, staff arriving at the local library found a small carrier by the front doors. Inside was a bright-eyed orange tabby with a curious stare and a tail that flicked like a question mark.

Despite the unusual start, Calypso hasn’t let his past dim his spirit. This playful little adventurer treats every room like a new chapter waiting to be explored. He loves batting at toy mice, chasing sunbeams across the floor, and supervising any human who dares to read a book without petting him first.

Calypso is equal parts mischief and charm. One minute he’s zooming around like he’s late for an important meeting, and the next he’s curled up beside you, purring like a tiny motorboat. His orange tabby stripes and bright personality make him impossible to ignore—and even harder not to love.

He may have been left at a library, but Calypso is ready to start a brand-new story—one filled with cozy naps, playful adventures, and a forever family who will make sure he never has to wait outside again. 🐾📚🧡

Calypso is neutered, up-to-date on his FVRCP and Rabies vaccines and he is FIV and FeLV negative.

He is currently staying at our Heartland Facility! We are open Thursday 4 pm-7 pm, Friday 4 pm-7 pm, Saturday Noon-6 pm, and Sunday Noon-6 pm. Feel free to stop by to meet him! No appointment necessary.
