Cali - 1992 Inductee

TORONTO, ONTARIO

CALI, a six-year-old Calico cat, owned by Lauren MacLaren was the only one to see a mysterious intruder outside their apartment window early one morning. As the intruder attempted to break into Lauren’s apartment, Cali repeatedly jumped on her sleeping owner until she awoke. Metro Toronto police responded immediately and arrested the man before he could escape.


At Purina, we believe that pets enrich our lives in countless ways. The Purina Animal Hall of Fame is our way of celebrating the extraordinary animals who have gone above and beyond. As Canada’s longest-running pet recognition program, it has honoured hundreds of pets for their acts of heroism, loyalty, and love.

These animals have saved lives, offered comfort, and stood by their humans through life’s most challenging moments. Their stories are powerful reminders of the strength and compassion that pets bring into our lives. Each inductee represents the very best of the human-animal bond.
