About Callie

Hello everyone. My name is Callie. I'm a 10 year old Maine Coon. I've been at Safe Place since March. I was the only pet of my mom's when she passed away. I have always been very loyal to my mom and very shy when it came to other people. I tried going to a home with a married couple and another cat. That didn't work out for me, it was just too much. I really shut down and had to come back to Safe Place. Since I've been back, almost a month, I've been very depressed. I hide in the bedding closet and don't enjoy playing with the other cats. The care takers at Safe Place put me on anti-depressants. I so want to leave here and find a quiet home with no other pets so I can live my best life. I had my teeth cleaned and have all my vaccines and microchip. I had full blood work and urinalysis done and they all came back reporting I am healthy with one exception. I am hyperthyroid, which is very common in older cats, but I can still live a normal life with inexpensive medications twice a day in my food. Please come by and visit. I can be coaxed out and will let you hold me. I'm sure that once I am in an environment that is comfortable for me that we could be good friends. I would love to get back to some TV watching like I did with my mom before she passed. You can see my beautiful face peaking out of my kennel at 1520 N Hancock Ave. Or visit our website, safeplacepets.org for our visiting hours. Or call to make an appointment. 719-359-0201 Original Bio - 03/20/2019 Hello everyone, my name is Callie. I'm not a calico and my mom is no longer around to ask so I don't know how I got my name. My mom passed away recently and I was able to spend her last days with her. However my dad is now moving in with his daughter who is allergic to me. My family is very sad to have to give me up but I'm really looking forward to finding a new forever home. I'm a 10 year old Maine Coon but on the small side for the breed. I'm a bit thin because I'm hyperthyroid, but I take one pill a day in my canned food - yum! I have the typical long, soft fur of a Maine Coon. I really enjoy looking good and like to have my beautiful coat brushed often. I'm not much of a lap cat but I like to cuddle up next to you and share the arm or back of the sofa. I don't mind being held but the trip from the floor up to your arms scares me so make sure you give me a lot of support and make me feel secure before you lift me up. I LOVE PUMPKIN! I can't say it enough. I have it with my breakfast every morning to start the day out right. I also love to chase balls and feathers. I'm pretty calm most of the time but sometimes the mood strikes me and I get a bit crazy. I run around the kitchen and hide under the counter just for heck of it. I've never had any siblings, feline or canine or human, so I don't know how I would get along with them. I'm shy around strangers and hide in the closet when they visit. I think I would prefer a quiet home like the one I came from. If you'd love to sit and watch TV while I allow you to brush me I think we'd get along just fine.
