Calliope Is Poetry In Motion

Graceful and sweet, this 10-year-old cat appreciates the finer things in life.

When you watch me walk gracefully across the floor, you’ll know why I’m named after the goddess of poetry! Slinky and graceful, my beautiful markings and ballerina-like motion will capture your heart.

I’m a very sweet girl, and none of those rumors about calicos having attitude can be applied to me! I am very quiet and affectionate, and enjoy my other feline pals just fine. I love heated cat beds, fleece blankets, and snuggle time - and if I can make a request, I really do prefer canned cat food. Treats whenever I ask for them are always appreciated, though I am very lady-like and don’t demand them too often.

The rescue doesn’t know much about my past, but they know I have a very bright future! I was rescued from a pound in central Illinois, and was taken into Young at Heart Pet Rescue’s adoption program. I am waiting for you to come visit me, so please come on out – and if you bring a toy on a string with you, we’ll become fast pals. I’ll show you my ninja-like maneuvers while I capture that toy!

I’m just a happy girl who has fabulous litter box manners. I’m also spayed and up to date on my vaccinations, and microchipped. My blood test results say I’m a healthy girl. Fill out an adoption application today! My adoption fee of just $55 benefits the rescued pets at Young at Heart Pet Rescue. So come on out to Best Friends Pet Care and visit me. If you’ve been missing some sweet poetry in your life, it’s time to meet me!
