Oriental kittens & cats in Rochester, Minnesota

Yes, my person really did name me Calico. Why is that strange? Well, because I am Siamese, if you please. I’m at least 7 years old, but who am I to say? I am one of ten cats whose owner died last year, and way back last summer, Paws and Claws found us a foster home because our person’s family couldn’t take care of us. I’m one of those who is still waiting for a home. It took a while for me to come out of my shell, but now I ask to be petted. I am feeling good and am eating quite well now that I had some dental work done. I’m not too interested in playing, but I generally get along with most other cats. If you have a sense of humor and can appreciate my name, Calico, and love me for my sweet demeanor, I’d love to go home to be your gentle girl. Anyone interested in adopting me should apply online or call the shelter to make arrangements to meet me.Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Meet Mello! Mello is a very talkative, loving boy with a personality as big as his voice! He may take a day or so to warm up, but once he does, he’s all in — following you from room to room as your loyal little shadow. He absolutely adores his people and thrives on companionship. This silly guy believes everything is a toy. If it wasn’t made for cats, that just makes it more interesting! His playful curiosity keeps life entertaining, and he’s always ready to turn everyday objects into his next adventure. Mello is extremely snuggly and has a special talent for slowly crawling up to settle right on your chest… or even your face if you’ll let him! That said, he does appreciate having his own space sometimes and enjoys lounging by the window, happily watching the world go by. He’s been very friendly with babies and has done well around little ones. However, loud or sudden noises can startle him — especially when tiny humans turn into tiny “raptors,” as they sometimes do! Because of this, a calmer home environment would suit him best. Mello would truly thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time. He gets lonely and isn’t shy about expressing it — he is a very mouthy boy and will happily chat with you about his feelings. Anyone considering Mello should appreciate a vocal cat who loves to communicate. If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate, entertaining companion who will keep you company and keep you laughing, Mello might just be your perfect match!
