Adopt a Calico in New York

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.

New York's rescue organizations offer thousands of cats for adoption across the state. NYC's shelter system is one of the largest in the country, and numerous private rescues supplement its efforts.
