Meet Calypso
Meet Calypso!
This charming 7-year-old orange tabby is ready to find his forever home—and if you're lucky, his new favorite cuddle buddy could be you! Calypso absolutely adores human attention and companionship, and once he feels safe and settled, he'll happily curl up beside you for a cozy nap or a head-to-head snuggle.
Calypso is an independent spirit who likes to make the first move when it comes to affection. But once he warms up, personal space goes right out the window. He's a sun-chaser, a nap enthusiast, and has a deep appreciation for good food—especially after experiencing food insecurity as a former stray. Because of this, he's best suited for a patient and loving home that understands his past. Just a heads-up: leave food unattended and he will find a way to help himself to seconds! The good news? He’s very food-motivated, making training or building trust a lot easier with a treat in hand.
One of his most endearing quirks? Calypso is more of a howler than a meower—classic orange cat energy. He’s not combative and will let you know if he’s feeling overwhelmed with gentle cues rather than aggression.
Calypso is currently in a loving foster home, getting all the care and cozy naps he deserves—but he’s more than ready to find his forever family. Don’t hesitate to apply if you think he could be the perfect addition to your home!
Calypso is microchipped, up-to-date on all vaccinations, neutered, and litter box trained.
Calypso's adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting Calypso, please fill out our Online Application today!
Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting.

If a cat or dog is on our website, it is still available for adoption but might have other applicants. If you find yourself interested in one of our animals, submit a no-commitment application immediately. Submitting an application does not commit you to any animal, but does get you a head start with the adoption approval process. Due to a high volume of applications, we are often unable to respond to questions until your application has been approved in approximately 3-5 business days.
We do not schedule meetings until you have an approved application.
A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation does not have a facility where applicants can visit all of our animals. The majority of our dogs and cats are brought to adoption events by our volunteers. We invite everyone to come to our events, but we give priority to pre-approved applicants.
If you’re invited to meet an animal:
- Plan to arrive early, as we cannot hold animals for any reason.
- All human household members and dogs (if adopting another dog), must be present in order to be considered as a potential adopter.
Thank you for your interest and cooperation!
