🌟 Introducing the fabulous Claudia! 🌟 This stunning buff/fawn tabby with dazzling gold eyes has a story that could melt anyone’s heart. Rescued from a hoarding situation where she and her daughter Paris faced unimaginable hardships, Claudia now finds herself at a whole new chapter of her life with the amazing team at Second Chance! 🏡 Although she entered the rescue in November 2023 and is one of the longest residents, Claudia has so much to offer. This lovely lady is subtle, preferring to watch the world from a safe distance. She’s not quite ready for pets just yet, but trust that she’s a sweetheart with a taste for treats—she’ll gladly lick Churu off your finger! 😻 Claudia adores playtime, especially with string toys and bouncing balls that send her bounding around with joy! 🏃‍♀️ She’s curious about her surroundings and will shadow volunteers around, intrigued by all the activities. She’s the kind of cat that appreciates her independence while also enjoying a playful companion! When it comes to living arrangements, Claudia prefers the calm company of non-aggressive male cats over females. Litter box usage? No problem at all! 🐾 She does a great job keeping her space tidy and has a particular fondness for dry food, with a soft spot for those Churu treats. And fear not—she’s not one to hiss or bite; instead, she’ll quickly scamper away if she feels threatened. Claudia needs an understanding adopter—someone patient who can let her blossom in her own time. Imagine the joy of watching her transform from a shy observer into a loving companion! 🌈 A smaller space to start with will do wonders as she settles into her new environment. Real change takes time, but trust me, it’s worth every moment! If you’re considering adopting, Claudia can also be fostered first with the intent to adopt. She truly deserves her forever home! 💖 Please, potential adopters are reminded to apply through the Buddy App! Your journey to finding this precious furball can start right there! Remember, adoption is only available for those living within an hour's drive from Grand Rapids.
