I determined the host environments and delay times associated with a sample of Ca-rich gap transients, a mysterious class of transient that are fast, faint-evolving, and usually located far from sites of star formation. I compared with the host environments of samples of 91bg-like supernova, Type Ia supernova, and Type II supernova. By comparing the masses and star formation rates of the host galaxies, as well as the delay times, I demonstrated a significant similarity between Ca-rich gap transients and 91bg-like supernova.
