Description:
Thanks to a generous sponsor, a portion of Delores's adoption fee will be covered if the right family wants to adopt her. Thanks so much Amy!

Delores is a very lovely Calico. Did you know that Calicos are always female? She and 27 other cats were removed by Animal Control from a home where they were living in deplorable conditions. Unfortunately, Animal Control did not have room for all of them. Becki, a lovely lady that we have come to know, rescued 4 of them so they would not be euthanized. She has now asked our help in finding them forever homes. Certainly!
Delores is very friendly but prefers people over other animals, so she will do best in a home where she is the only pet (loved and admired by all). She likes to play with toys like jingle balls. She is very lovable, friendly, energetic and adorable. Sweet, self-confident and smart, Delores knows exactly what she wants, and that's plenty of love and TLC. You just can't help but to stroke her ~ her fur is extremely soft and feels like a mink coat! Despite her past living conditions, she is in very good health. However, she has flea allergies and must be kept on a diligent flea preventive regimen, such as monthly Frontline. This darling cat is just waiting for the right home!

SPECIAL THANKS TO AMY HOGUE FOR SPONSORING DELORES :)

According to cat-lovers-only.com, the Calico cat breed is actually not a breed at all, but a tri-color coat patter, often black, red, and white. Many different types of cats can have this coat pattern, and it is not restricted to any particular type of breed. All three colors are in a distinct patches, not mixed as in Tortoiseshells. To be a true tri-color, a calico cat's colors must be: 1) white; 2) red or cream; and 3) black, blue, chocolate, lilac, cinnamon, or fawn. The variations in color from red and black are caused by a gene which dilutes, or lightens up the basic color, and produces a dilute calico cat, most commonly with a coat of white, cream, and blue."
