I can't get over how adorable these kittens are. Even with all the insanity of the Pet Rescue by Judy lobby, these four little guys are as calm, cool and collected as anyone could want. They are very responsive to people AND other animals, so we think they would do well as only pets or in a house with other animals. It would be WONDERFUL if they could be adopted in pairs. Kittens LOVE having companions to play and cuddle with, and of course we are happy to lower adoption donations for people who choose to adopt two.

 

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."
