Penelope was adopted from us all the way back in 2004 and was returned because her owners new husband is allergic to her. Our poor Penelope. She was living a nice comfy life and now she finds herself back here with no family.

As you can imagine, she is used to being around people and is ready to become a wonderful house cat. Think about how greatful she'll be to find herself home sweet home again. Will she be your sweet girl?

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."
