Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Hello, I'm Callie! I'm a shy but sweet older cat looking for a friend. I came to the shelter under some pretty unfortunate circumstances, and I had a hard time adjusting-- but with time, I decided to give the nice people at CMHS a chance. Now I am so happy for them to pet me, and I enjoy talking back and forth with them. I enjoy breakfast time, watching out my window, and napping on my bed. I also am curious of catnip toys, but am not terribly playful overall. I would appreciate a more mature household, and would love to be the only pet-- but I may be able to adjust to other low-energy pets after a slow introduction.
