Sheldon
Please meet our Star Kit for the day, Sheldon. He is a 7 week old Calico from Cheshire, Massachusetts.
Our new kitty, Sheldon. We got him from a small litter, who’s owner could not keep them. So, we decided to rescue one of them. He has been with us a few days and is warming up great! He loves to snuggle with his mouse toy and explore everything 🙂

Pounce on wee Sheldon
Oh, a male Calico-how rare! Wee Sheldon is extra special and ever so adorable. I love his mouse. Have many more loving, playful times for all.
Sheldon is a total cutie, who seems very possessive of mouse toy! This picture reminds me of a child who is okay with getting pictures taken as long as favorite toy is in the photo too 🙂
Wishing you all the best with Sheldon!
Thanks for sharing Sheldon with us.
You’re sitting in his spot.
What a cutie Sheldon is. He is going to be quite handsome. Long life to you all.
Squee for shweet star-kit Callie Sheldon turning MOanday into a furry fun day!
Oh, Sheldon is an achingly sweet baby! Please give him some snuggles for me.
Are you sure that beautiful pussy is male? The vast majorities of calicos and tortoiseshell cats are female; any male with both red and black colors has a genetic abnormality, which makes him have an extra X chromosome (XXY instead of the usual XX or XY).
You might want to check again at what’s between Sheldon’s legs. If it’s round, he’s a boy. If it’s a slit (front to back), she’s a girl.
Good luck!
Yeah, I hope you haven’t gotten your heart set on kitty being a male. Whatever kitty is, it’s a beautiful stripe down the nose, and the most wonderful alert expression. Many happy years together.
Sheldon is precious but I but it’s a she and that is not a calico she is a tortishell
Sheldon has the prettiest face and is in all likelihood a girl:) If this is a boy it would be a very, very rare occurrence. I’d love to have tortoiseshell Sheldon exploring in my house. Give your precious baby a snuggle for me. I love the mouse too:)
Sheldon sure is a cutie! If he’s indeed a male, he’s a rare one. 🙂
A Cheshire cat!!! Well someone had to say it!
But not disappearing from his/her??? furever home like the literary version! I think tortie/girl as well. Whatever. Your kit is stunning, gorgeous markings. If a girl kit, name could be Shelley. I’m as curious as a cat as to whether your kitty is girl or boy! 😉
Squeeeeeee a cute dappled darling, with favourite toy. 🙂
Awwwwwww!
Whether it’s Sheldon or Shelly no matter…this is one gorgeous kitty!
At the age of 7 weeks, it’s very difficult to tell a kitten’s gender. Hamachisn’t is right, though, about the genetics of coat color, so this is in all likelihood a little girl. When she’s a month or so older, it will become easier to tell.
One of my neighbors once asked me to tell him if he had a boy or girl kitten, and I said a boy, so he and his wife named the kitten Jackson. A couple months later, the neighbor was back to ask “are you sure?” I took another look, and that day the kitten’s name was changed to Jasmine.
Jackson and Shelley could be last names, so for either gender. I’d bet that tortie baby is a girl as well. In either case, have him or her “fixed”.
