Priscilla the Declawed Calico Princess' companion, Elvis the De-clawed Hemingway (adopted) can also be seen on our website.

Description:

Priscilla is a 10-month-old calico, short hair, female, declawed and spayed.  The owner's friend found little 8-week-old Priscilla in a parking lot.  She is a talker, very loveable and playful.  She loves to run and chase all her toys, especially a little gray and white mouse.  She will carry it around the house until she finds a safe spot, usually on top of my bed.  She loves to sleep in the bed and will cuddle whenever you sit down.  She loves to have her head and ears rubbed and will wrap her front paws around  your arm and hold on.  I have a screened in porch and she loves to sit out there and watch the birds.  She gets along very well with her brother Elvis and they play and wrestle and chase each other around the house.  She is very good with children.  I have 4 grandchildren ranging in age from 1 to 14 and they love playing with her.  Very sweet disposition.
 

"Calico" refers to a cat's coloring. It is not a separate breed. One study has attempted to trace the origins of the coat pattern, and the research led them to port cities on the Mediterranean and in Northern Africa, the theory being that the cats were on board the ships that sailed those trading routes. (Cats were frequently "employed" on ships to keep rats away from the cargo.) Only 1 in 3,000 calicos are male, and they are always sterile. Calicos are believed to bring good luck. In some parts of the US, they are called money cats. The Japanese maneki neko--"waving cat"--figurine is almost always a calico.
