Speckles

Meet Speckles, a lively one-year-old tortoiseshell calico from Del Valle, TX, whose bold black-and-orange coat is as vibrant as her big, chatty personality!

Weighing about 12 pounds, Speckles is the epitome of classic tortie charm: expressive, talkative, and absolutely full of opinions. This medium-sized girl has a lot to say and isn't shy about sharing her thoughts—whether it’s a meow to greet you at the door, a chirp to ask for playtime, or a soft purr as you pet her favorite spots. And once the pettings begin, the purring doesn't stop—she's quick to show affection and always eager for attention.

Speckles thrives in an environment where she’s part of the action. She loves knowing what’s going on, following her favorite people from room to room like a curious little supervisor. She’s playful and intelligent, often found chasing feather toys, pouncing on rattle balls, or batting fur mice across the floor. But after a burst of energy, she’s just as happy curling up for cuddles, preferably with someone who understands the joys of a vocal, interactive cat.

She’s litter-trained, in good health, and ready for her next adventure—though she has not yet been spayed, a voucher is available through Travis County Emancipet to cover this important step. Speckles enjoys the company of other cats, especially once she’s had time to settle in, and she’s generally tolerant and playful when given space to adjust. Her outgoing personality makes her a fun and affectionate addition to any cat-experienced, stable home where she can stay indoors and safely explore her surroundings.

Speckles is looking for a loving guardian who will appreciate her talkative nature, respect her independence, and shower her with the affection she so readily gives in return!

Could Speckles be the sassy sidekick you didn’t know you needed? To learn more about this vocal sweetheart with a flair for drama and devotion, reach out today!
