Meet Miss Calista, or Callie as she is sometimes called. This pretty calico came into our care when her owner wanted to "get rid of her because she caught no mice". No pet should be in a home where they aren't wanted. Besides, being unspayed, she would end up giving birth to unwanted kittens. And so Calista ended up in CCARS' care and in a loving foster home. 

At first glance you notice her striking looks. Her one front leg is completely white while the other is calico colored.....almost symmetrical in their markings. Calista is also a smart kitty. She's quick to follow commands and comes when called. Spend a few more minutes with her and you can tell she's affectionate! A little too affectionate, we should say!  She gives strong head butts and loves to rub, rub, rub. Who could blame her for not wanting to chase down a smelly rodent, when she would much rather spend her time with her human. Calista also has a quirk -- giving love bites, so she may be best suited in a home with adults or with older kids who will love her for her specialness. Calista is 10-12 months old, and is vaccinated, dewormer, and spayed. This calico sweetie would love to find her forever home. 

Clay County Animal Rescue & Shelter is located at 375 Water Elm Lane, Flora, IL. Our phone number is 618-665-3005.  We are renovating our shelter so hours are by appointment only. 

The typical adoption fee for dogs is $150.  It includes vaccination, deworming , spay/neuter, heartworm testing on dogs of age and microchipping, which is now mandatory by state law.  Some dogs we discount to as little as $50 due to sponsorship.  Some dogs we ask a higher adoption fee, which helps us recoup expenses on heartworm treatment on other dogs.

All cats are spayed/neutered/vaccinated/flea treated/dewormed and microchipped prior to adoption.  Cat adoption fees range from $60-$100.  We spay/neuter/microchip/vaccinate and deworm all kittens and cats, prior to adoption.  Our shyer/less adoptable cats are classed as "barn cats" and are free with a completed/approved barn cat application, which can be found on our website.
