Haley and Boo, Original One-of-a-kind Calico Cat and Kitten Art Dolls by Max BaileyHaley is a calico cat, with a dramatic contrast of orange, black, and white fur set off by her pale yellow-green eyes. Haley’s little doll peeks out of the pocket of her pinafore. Haley calls her Boo.

Haley and Boo, Original One-of-a-kind Calico Cat and Kitten Art Dolls by Max BaileyUntil Boo came along, Haley sometimes felt lonely. She longed for a doll to be her companion, to share all her small adventures and big dreams.

Haley and Boo, Original One-of-a-kind Calico Cat and Kitten Art Dolls by Max BaileyHaley and Boo are now inseparable. They go everywhere together during the day, and Haley makes sure Boo is tucked in next to her at night.
