🍍⛱ MEET CALYPSO ⛱🍍

Nature
Hi, Calypso here. I get called 'Callie' for short. My life as a teen mum, on the streets was tough and rough and by the time we came into care, we were seriously starving.

This is where my obsession with food started. I loved any human that fed me, but over time, I began to remember what had happened on the streets and became wary of them. You know that saying ‘once bitten, twice shy’, well that is my motto.

Due to a couple of changes in my foster care (due to no fault of my own) my progress stalled but I am now back on track! I will be honest: if you are looking for an immediately interactive cat, I am NOT the cat for you. I approach life with apprehension, not aggression, so take many weeks to warm to anything new.

Companions (Children, Cats & Dogs)
I live with two cats similar age to me. We get on well and understand feline social ques. I don’t know how I feel about dogs.

I don't think I will cope with children at the moment as they are to unpredictable for me.

I can be happy in my own company but would need someone home a lot to help with my socialisation or a companion to help me gain confidence.

Likes / Dislikes
I love a deep scratch around my head and along my back, I will sing my pleasure. I am learning to tolerate being picked up and carried short distances and to come for a pat when called. I would like to snuggle with you one day, but not just yet. I have shown no aggression, to my foster carer. I am learning to play with toys.

I dislike being rushed and I get anxious and will hide.

My PURR-fect home would be one where I can embrace being ‘born free’, I love being outside. I cannot be left to free roam as I may forget to come home but I really, really love my secure cat pen as I can enjoy the outside without worry. If you are kind and compassionate and prepared to work with me, then we need to meet!

Perth Rescue Angels recommends all cats are indoor only, unless they have access to a secure cat enclosure.
