Calico cats are nature’s own works of art, each one painted with a one-of-a-kind pattern that can’t be replicated. May is no exception. Her coat is a beautiful blend of color and character, and she carries herself with the confidence of a cat who knows she looks good.

She’s the kind of feline who turns heads from across Kitty City, our cage-free cat habitat at Valley Humane Society where adopters can meet our cats in a comfortable, home-like setting.

Blooming in Her Own Time

Like the best flowers in any East Bay garden, May doesn’t rush her bloom. She’s a little reserved when you first meet her, taking her time to size up new people and decide who’s worthy of her affection.

That patience pays off. May is the kind of cat who rewards quiet companionship and gentle introductions with a deep, loyal devotion. Once she trusts you, you’ve got a friend for life.

If you’ve ever loved a cat who chose you, you know exactly the kind of magic we’re talking about.

A Personality with Just the Right Amount of Sass

May has opinions, and we love her for it. She’s not a wallflower, despite her reserved start. She knows what she likes, knows what she doesn’t, and isn’t afraid to let you know. That little touch of attitude is part of her charm, and it makes every cuddle and head bump she offers feel earned.

For the right adopter, that personality is the whole point. May will be the queen of your household, and you’ll be glad she is.
