In cultures across the globe, calico cats are cherished symbols of good fortune. Take Japan, where the iconic maneki-neko, a calico cat figurine, is thought to bring wealth and luck to those who display it. In Irish folklore, calico cats are said to possess the magical capability of curing warts. And here in the United States, these captivating felines are sometimes known as “money cats.” The state of Maryland even proudly adopted the calico as its official cat.
But you don’t need to embark on a global journey to find your own treasured calico companion. Tabby’s Place is the current home of a living, breathing embodiment of a glamorous maneki-neko. With her pudgy cheeks and big jade eyes, this kitty truly captures the essence of kawaii.

She’s an independent lady who knows what she wants and expects her boundaries to be respected. While Cassie can be affectionate on her own terms, she isn’t a typical lap cat. And although she gets along with other easy-going cats — as long as they give her space — she would love to be an only cat.
Cassie has a tendency to get overstimulated and is seeking a patient adopter who can understand and appreciate her unique quirks. Could that be you? Fill out an online adoption application today and uncover the joys of having Cassie as your one-of-a-kind feline companion!
