No Calicos listed right now
Rescue availability changes constantly. New Calicos arrive as they come into care, so it is worth checking back — and Calico crosses are worth a look too.

The Calico is a medium-sized cat with a short coat. With rescue cats the individual matters more than the label — temperament, age and history tell you far more than the breed name on the card, and many rescue cats are moggies rather than pedigrees.
Shelter breed labels in Australia are usually a visual guess rather than a DNA result, so a cat listed as a Calico may simply be the closest match a rescue could give. That is worth knowing before you rule a listing in or out.
As of September 2026 there are no Calicos listed in Australia rescue on LocalPetFinder. Calicos are among the rarer cats in Australian rescue, and availability turns over quickly, so setting an alert is the most reliable way to catch one when it arrives. Calico crosses are worth considering too.
LocalPetFinder lists Calicos available for adoption from rescues right across Australia, in New South Wales, Western Australia, Queensland, and Victoria. A dedicated single-breed rescue is not always active nearby, so the fastest route is to watch the general rescues and set an alert. Every listing links straight to the rescue that has the cat, and the application is handled by them, not by us.
Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every Calico here comes from an Australian rescue rather than a breeder or a classified seller, and the adoption fee already covers desexing, vaccination and microchipping. That fee is typically a couple of hundred dollars, against often well over a thousand from a breeder with none of the vet work done. If you searched "calico cat for sale", adopting gets you a vetted cat for a fraction of the price.
