Adopt a Calico in Illinois

Calico cats are known for their striking tri-color coats of white, black, and orange. Like tabby, calico is a color pattern rather than a breed, and calicos are well-represented in shelters. They're often described as having bold, sassy personalities.

Illinois rescues care for thousands of cats statewide, with Chicago's shelter system among the largest in the Midwest. Active TNR and adoption networks help cats find homes year-round.
