It's not that often that we are able to bring you a calico cat for our Pet of the Week, but that's what we've got for you this week.

Did you know that just about all calico cats are female? Only 1 in 3000 happen to be male -- it's a chromosome thing.

Skylar is a 3-year-old female who is a very sweet and affectionate cat. She came to the Animal Welfare Society as a stray who was rescued by a Good Samaritan. She is now ready to go to her forever home where she can be loved.

Skylar is a pastel calico long hair, she's all up to date on her vaccines and she's set to be spayed next week.

Check out this close up look at Skylar:

For more information on Skylar and all the other adoptable Dogs and Cats, call the Animal Welfare Society at (860) 354-1350 or visit them on Dodd Road in New Milford.

They’re open Tuesday from 11 AM to 7 PM, and Wednesday through Saturday from 11 AM to 2 PM.

Keep in mind the Animal Welfare Society is undergoing construction to serve you and the animals better, so just them call before you go. (860) 354-1350
