Playful Chloe Wants a Home for the Holidays

Gorgeous 7-year-old Calico cat is ready for a family!

I keep hearing people who visit the adoption center talking about their plans to eat turkey and gather with family. No matter how much I crawl into their lap while they’re talking and purr and rub my head against them, I can’t seem to get them to understand that I love turkey! And family! And holidays!

I’m Chloe, and I am a 7-year-old Calico cat who is up for adoption through Young at Heart Pet Rescue. I’ve been waiting for a home since June, and no matter how gorgeous I am, it seems that people think that calico cats have attitude. OK, OK, I guess from time to time I do “speak” my mind, but I can’t help it if I am an independent girl sometimes! And usually I only speak my mind when another cat decides to interrupt me when I think I’m doing something important. But really, I’m mostly a princess, and lap time and treats are really what I get the most excited about!

I was a part of Young at Heart’s Super Senior Save this past summer, and though I’ve watched my other feline friends find homes, I’m still waiting. I can’t help but think that my perfect person is out there! I’m a nice little girl who enjoys lap time and lots of lovin’ from my friends. A snuggle in your lap would make me a happy little camper! I am an avid chaser of fuzzy mice, a hunter of all things crinkly and will track down any ball with a bell in it! You can count on me to find something to play with under the couch! A loving family would be something to be so thankful for this year!!

I’m good with my litter box and get along with some of my kitty friends. I’m spayed, vaccinated and microchipped, and am I’m a very healthy girl! Now I just need that special someone who can see past my gorgeous (and sometimes independent) calico exterior to the love bug within! So fill out an adoption application today or come visit me at Best Friends Pet Care, 22096 N. Pet Lane, Prairie View. My adoption fee of $55 helps Young at Heart rescue other senior pets like me!
