Senior cat ‘lost everything familiar’ due to ‘landlord issues.’ She needs a home
A senior cat is in need of a new place to lay her head after an unfortunate incident left her without her normal surroundings in Indiana.
You wouldn’t know it by looking at her youthful face, but Callie, a calico sweetheart, is 13 years old and is looking to start over, the Humane Society for Hamilton County in Fishers said.
“Callie spent the last five years knowing the comfort of a home and the warmth of someone who loved her,” the shelter said in a June 12 Facebook post. “She was the kind of cat who would curl up beside you, lay her head on your lap, and purr herself to sleep knowing she belonged. But now, at 13 years old, she’s in the shelter confused, heartbroken, and waiting for someone new to love.”
Her world changed in an instant.
“Surrendered due to landlord issues, Callie suddenly lost everything familiar. At first, she may seem shy around new people, she’s had a lot of change in a short time, but give her a quiet moment, take a seat, and you’ll see her true nature bloom,” the shelter continued.
“Once she knows you’re safe, she’ll come over for gentle pets, lean into your hand, and show you just how deeply she longs to connect again.”
Callie’s likes, per her pet profile, include:
Children are a plus
Doesn’t mind being held, but will tell when she wants down
Human contact is a must
Loves “catnip-stuffed toys”
Loves sleeping in sunshine
The girl has some health issues as well, her profile notes.
“Soon, I developed an upper respiratory infection, for which I was treated, and I have recovered,” her profile says. “You probably also noted that I am a chunky monkey! When you are a senior citizen and overweight, arthritis tends to make exercise painful. The HSHC’s medical examination revealed some conditions that require medication.”

Fishers is about a 20-mile drive northeast from downtown Indianapolis.
