History: Usually, when we talk about “spicy” cats, we mean tortis; however, this beautiful two-tone boy can be as racy as any calico you’ve ever met. It’s generally chill and laid back, but can get a little spicy on occasion. He can also be sweet, affectionate, and loves to hang out with people. He likes the attention, but when his affection meter is full, he’s finished, but he has body language that accuses him. He is IVF+. Come meet him and see if this spicy kitty doesn’t steal your heart.
