Cali (cat)

Cali the Cat



Age: 4

Fostered with: Rachel Hunter

Pet Valu adoptathon, Saturday April 20th 2013
Cali is very affectionate and pretty calm. At Pet Valu she was content to just sleep in her crate, and didn't seem nervous like some of the other cats are during similar shifts. (Last time I had cats during a shift, they were tense and poofy and breathing quickly the whole time- clearly very stressed.) Cali just fell asleep, hissed only when dog faces were pressed up again the cage, and eagerly ate any treats she was offered. Her foster mom said she is like this at home too - if dogs approach her respectfully, she is fine with them, and will even sleep on the same bed as them. If they approach quickly or if she feels cornered, she hisses. Pretty standard cat stuff! She does NOT get along with Alara, but Rachel said that is mostly because Alara hates Cali, not the other way around.

I opened up the cage several times to reach in and pet her and she purred instantly...it was like she had an activation button. She immediately stretched out, and stood up and started doing laps around the crate rubbing her face and body against all of the edges. She is very soft and very sweet.
