About Clark

Clark is all personality—a true character who thrives on human companionship and makes every room feel brighter. He wants to be the center of attention, just as happy lounging next to you on the couch as he is batting around a favorite catnip toy or observing birds out the window. Whether you’re watching the game or just relaxing, Clark will be by your side, always curious and engaged in whatever you’re doing. He’s best suited as an only cat. Clark’s dominant streak means he prefers to rule the roost, and he’s not a fit for homes with other felines. His rescuer hoped to keep him but couldn’t, since Clark stressed the resident timid cat. Still, with people, he’s endlessly affectionate and playful—ready to fill your days with happiness and easy companionship. Clark is young, about a year old, neutered, fully vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. He’s house trained and eager to have a family all his own. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
