You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hello there, I’m Calliope — a lovely senior lady with a heart full of love and a voice to match! I’m a beautiful calico with the softest fur and a sweet, soulful nature. I may be in my golden years, but that just means I’ve had plenty of time to perfect the art of being a loving companion. I’m quite the talker—I enjoy having little chats and will happily purr along as you tell me about your day. My purr is strong and steady, especially when I’m kneading away in a cozy spot or getting some well-deserved attention. Cleanliness is important to me, especially when it comes to my paws. You'll often catch me delicately dipping them in my water bowl to keep them tidy (I have standards, you know!). That said, grooming myself isn’t really my thing anymore—but don’t worry, I absolutely love being brushed. It’s one of my favorite bonding moments, and I’ll reward you with purrs and sweet glances the whole time. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who loves cuddles, conversation, and being pampered, I might just be the perfect fit. I still have so much love to give—and I’d love to share it with you. Estimated Birthdate: Likes: Lots of love and having clean paws! Dislikes: Grooming myself - I prefer you to brush me! Staff Update: Calliope loves water, batting at it, playing in it, we highly recommend that she has a water fountain as she loves moving water to drink and gets a bit of an attitude if her fountain isn't running!  This gorgeous girl gets along with everyone (people and cats) and will be the first cat to make a new friend.  Although affectionate, she does not like being picked up and held. To schedule a meet/greet with this pawsome kitty, we recommend that you complete a Pre-Adoption Application, which is available here:   https://www.shelteringhands.org/adoptionapplication.  Learn more about Sheltering Hands - visit our website at https://www.shelteringhands.org.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 14, 2025, 1:32 pm

I was discovered at a bustling commercial construction site - a tiny little soul trying to survive among loud machines and towering equipment. The workers worried for me, and out of pure compassion, called Sheltering Hands to give me a chance. From the moment I arrived, they showered me with kindness. And I returned the same. I became a little favorite because I'm gentle, grateful, and oh-so petite. But most of all, because I have so much love to give. Estimated Birthdate: 3/27/2025 Likes: Attention, love, belly rubs. people, and more attention. Dislikes: Big, loud commercial equipment.                                      To schedule a meet/greet with this pawsome kitty, we recommend that you complete a Pre-Adoption Application, which is available here:   https://www.shelteringhands.org/adoptionapplication.  Learn more about Sheltering Hands - visit our website at https://www.shelteringhands.org.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 24, 2025, 9:17 pm

I'm a rather reserved girl who needs a little time to warm up to new people and situations.  My owner, the love of my life, got sick and can’t care for me anymore.

Dislikes: Rough, inconsiderate humans.
