KELLY'S STORY


Tortoiseshell cat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tortoiseshell and calico describe a coloring found in cats caused by a combination of specific genetic traits. In female cats, where this trait primarily occurs, it is a result of X-inactivation, in which different patches of fur receive coding for different hair color due to the activation of an X chromosome from either the mother or the father. Calico coloring is a mix of phaeomelanin based colors (red) and eumelanin based colors (black, chocolate and cinnamon). Cats of this coloration are believed to bring good luck in the folklore of many cultures;[1]

What Kelly will definitely bring to your life is the company of a smart and sensitive cat. Do you think you could be the person who will bring the light of happiness back into her eyes?
**UPDATE ON BILLY (THE BLACK & WHITE CAT WHOSE PHOTO IS ABOVE KELLY'S PHOTO)**
I wanted to give Kelly her own post, but I got some good news about Billy and had to tell you. He is ready for a loving home too. He is around a year old. Bill was very scared when he first came to the shelter. But now he has turned into a love bug who is ready to sit in anyone's lap who will pet him and say sweet nothings in his kitty ears. Billy has gotten in touch with his inner kitty and now needs someone to love. Billy looks like he has been around. In this picture he has that ROCKY BALBOA caught in a pensive moment look. I wonder what stories he could tell you. The posted picture was taken when he first came to the shelter.
