Calico kittens & cats in Tacoma, Washington

Cloie loves to sleep on my lap while I'm watching TV. She likes to have her head petted with your feet. Comes when you call her name. Greets you at the door when you come home.

My wife found her while working in a neighborhood down in South Carolina, so we unfortunately don't know too much about her age. We're hoping she could find a home more fit for her comfort, she's pretty independent, but she requires attention and a calmer daily regimen. All around she's an absolute sweet heart, that is very vocal and just happy to be around people.

***NOTE: This pet is currently at the shelter in Republic, WA, and can be delivered to an approved adopter on our 5/2/26 adopted pet transport to Monroe, WA to begin a 30-day trial placement – part of our distance adoption program.*** Considering adopting? The first step is to complete our online Adoption Application at http://forgetmenotshelter.org/application Please do not call the shelter; do the application first. Poor Kalispell has not had an easy time of it since arriving at the shelter back in August 2025. Just a couple of weeks after she arrived as a stray, she gave birth to a litter of kittens, which meant she (and they) had to wait until the kittens were weaned before any of them could be listed for adoption. During this time, Kalispell was an excellent mother - perhaps a bit too good, as she did her best to shun attentions from the shelter staff and volunteers, preferring to keep them away from her babies (and of course, we HAD to socialize and handle the little ones, leading to much frustration for Kalispell). Just when Kalispell's kittens were adopted and we thought she, too, would be ready to head home - she contracted a calicivirus infection requiring a fairly lengthy quarantine period, with little human contact daily (to help prevent the spread of infection). She has now fully cleared her calici infection, but during the past couple of months, has grown depressed, antisocial, and slightly obese. She is now allowed to interact with other cats in a healthy-cat communal Meow Manor room, and gets many more human visits for snuggles and attention, but thus far has not perked up or shown much interest in interactions with any species. Kalispell needs a calm and loving home with an understanding family who will help her gradually lose weight, while learning all about the love of humans and fun to be had as a family pet. With your help, she can recover her broken spirit and find joy in life again! She's still a young cat, with an estimated birth date of 8/1/24, and we all want to see her blossom and live a long and happy life in an adoptive home. All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Kalispell is a suggested minimum of $50 (more gratefully accepted). All pets are placed with a 30-day money-back trial period, to give pet and family enough time to discover any unknown allergies or other conflicts. Can't come to Republic? Don't let that stop you! We have monthly transports to the Seattle area, delivering adopted pets to their new owners. If you can add a little to your donation to help us cover our volunteer driver's expenses, that would be great!

We got her from a home that has a bunch of cats already and she needed a new home. We have enough time for her and her alone but she recently gave birth! Which is amazing but we dont have enough time for her + her kittens we cant keep her long term anymore shes very sweet and so gentle and kind. We love her so much we just dont have the time or space for her and her kittens.

Meet this little man! He is 8 weeks old (Feb 17, 2026), litter box trained, and fully weaned. He eats kibble and wet food (his favorite). He is playful, curious, adventurous. He has been socialized with other people, cats, and a resident dog. Bath time and grooming have been introduced, and he did very very good!
