Calli was brought into our clinic by a concerned local Afghan who noticed she was in visible pain and unable to walk. On arrival, it was clear she had a severely damaged back limb, and the only humane option to relieve her suffering was amputation. She made a wonderful recovery and has adapted well to life as a tripaw. Calli manages beautifully, but she is naturally shy. She tends to keep to herself and can find it difficult to trust humans at first, often choosing to retreat when approached. Despite this, she has a gentle, sweet presence that shines once she feels safe.

Calli loves soft, cosy places where she can sleep undisturbed, and she has a surprising, endearing love for water. One of her quirks is dipping her head — and sometimes her whole body — into water, playfully soaking herself. It’s a unique little habit that perfectly reflects her quiet charm.

Calli enjoys affection, but only on her own terms; she is not a cat who wants constant cuddling. A peaceful, patient home would suit her best — somewhere she can settle slowly, feel secure, and be loved at her own pace.

After such a tough start to life, Calli truly deserves a safe, gentle family in the West who will cherish her soft spirit and give her the calm home she needs.
