More about Calypso

Meet Calypso: The Mystical Queen of the Sea  In the legends of the Caribbean, Calypso was a powerful goddess who ruled the waves. Our Calypso may be a bit smaller (and much fluffier!), but she is looking for a kingdom to call her very own. After two years away, Calypso has returned to our rescue, and we’ve discovered that this stunning girl is ready to retire from the "crew" life and become a solo captain. The Legend & The Look Calypso is a dilute tortoiseshell, sporting a coat of soft greys and muted creams that is as unique as a rare sea pearl. While the stress of her recent journey has made her coat a little dull, we know that with the right "treasure" (yummy food!) and a peaceful harbor, she’ll be back to her glowing, lustrous self in no time. A Pirate’s Life for Her Calypso is a clever girl with a few adorable quirks: * The Treasure Hunter: She loves to "steal" toys and stash them around her condo. You’ll never know where she’s hidden her latest prize! * The Siren’s Song: She has the sweetest, tiniest "mew" that she uses to call for attention or to let you know that her favorite wet food is overdue. * The Solitary Sovereign: We’ve learned that Calypso isn't a fan of other animals. She found the "pirate crew" life with her sister a bit too stressful, and she is much happier as the only pet. She wants all the chin scratches and sunbeams for herself! Navigating New Waters Calypso is a sensitive soul. She can be a bit nervous around new people—especially adult men—but her heart wants to trust. She is looking for a patient human who understands that the best treasures aren't found overnight. Our vetting team is working with her to help her feel brave again, and she’s showing us more of that playful kitten spirit every single day. If you have a quiet home and a patient heart, you might just be the one to unlock the deep devotion this beautiful goddess has to offer. Are you ready to offer Calypso a permanent harbor?
