Tinsel and her owner found themselves homeless....Her owner wanted more for her baby so luckily one of our volunteers went to her and the women surrendered Tinsel to Pet Rescue by Judy.  It was a very bitter/sweet moment.   So we are going to find this sweet kitty a new home hopefully with another cat so she can play and run and have a family of her own.


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."
