Caly's Cats is dedicated to taking on the cats that might be classified as "special needs" when we get them. Our cats start out a little shy, or a little feral, a little young, or something else that means they need a little more time than can be provided at a shelter or more traditional rescue. We give them the time, love and attention they need to get ready for their forever home. And, when they are ready, we match them to right home and the right people for them.
The cats you see in the Adoption Gallery are ready to be someone's beloved companion. Come on in and take a look. They're waiting for you!

April 2010: How must if feel to be rescued after you've been abandoned? A lot of very special cats can tell you! There is a neighborhood in EPA where cats are routinely dumped. A young, single mom took on the task of making sure these "orphans" received necessary veterinary care including spay/neuter, vaccinations, and flea treatments, and then she provided them with food and ongoing monitoring.
But, now, rising expenses are forcing her to move. The good news is, she has found a place with good schools and room for her kids to grow. The bad news - she just learned she cannot bring all the cats. Although this is a good move for her kids, she is heartbroken at what it means for the cats.
Most of these cats were probably casualties of the economy to begin with. So, she is determined that they not be again. Although she needs to be out of her current place soon, she is determined to find homes (foster or permanent) before she goes. Many in the rescue community want to help this woman - she's done well for the cats, and we'd like to help her see them through into good homes. There is a wide variety of colors, sizes and temperaments from the very loving (most of them) to the somewhat shy.
We will be helping her with Adoption Events - so keep an eye on the schedule below. And, please contact us if you would like to help foster! info@calyscats.org and put "Lisa's Cats" in the subject line.
Thank you!
Update May 17: There are still 6 cat/kid/dog friendly cats who need placement SOON!! Any chance you can make room for one or more even temporarily?

December 2009: Have you heard about the Twelve Cats of Christmas? It is an heartwarming story of the local animal welfare community coming together for a doomed colony of 12 cats and 2 kittens. Two humane organizations, representatives from 6 different rescue organizations, and several members of the public who had never been involved in cat rescue - all coming together during this season in which we celebrate life, to give life to these wonderful cats.
