With the rescue that has the cat. Today the calico cats on this page are with Hounslow Animal Welfare Society (3), Rescue Remedies (3), Feline Friends London (2), Heatons Cats (2), Almost Home Animal Rescue NI (1), Animal Rescue Cumbria (1) and 6 other rescues. Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.

It depends on the cat, not the breed. Most of the 18 calico cats listed in the UK today don't say either way, so ask the rescue. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the cat could live with.

It depends on the cat, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 5 of the 18 calico cats listed in the UK as able to live with other cats. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue.

Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Battersea charges £100 for a cat over six months and £130 for a kitten, Cats Protection says you can expect to pay £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten, varying between its branches, and Blue Cross fees start from £150 for cats aged 4 months to 7 years. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every calico cat on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. Rescues rehome animals rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Battersea charges £100 for a cat over six months and £130 for a kitten. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. If you searched "calico kittens for sale", the calico cats here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price.

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. At the large cat charities, fees for one cat are under £200: Battersea charges £100 for a cat over six months and £130 for a kitten, and Cats Protection says £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue.
