Meet Claude Claude comes equipped with extra-extra toes and the coordination of someone who's always a little too excited. When foster mom comes home from work, he barrels over for pets at full speed, sliding, tripping, and generally flopping like a baby deer—hence the ongoing joke that he wears Clodhopper shoes just to survive his own enthusiasm. Claude is a professional cuddler with a soft, squishy heart. He's a little cautious with new cats at first, but once he decides you pass the vibe check, he's totally fine. Dogs? Jury's still out—but he's not scared, just politely observant. Kids are great as long as they're calm, cozy, and interested in serious cuddle sessions. He is a wet food connoisseur with refined tastes and zero shame about it. Pté? Gravy? He will have opinions. Claude's story started in the cold—he was found dumped outside in winter, and it was his big, many-toed paws that saved his life. Foster mom noticed unfamiliar paw prints in the snow and followed them, setting a trap to rescue whoever was leaving them. Thankfully, those prints led straight to Claude. One very important note: Claude is deeply, profoundly terrified of the vacuum. He's searching for a home where vacuums are a myth, a rumor, or someone else's problem. If you're looking for a clumsy, extra-toed cuddlebug with a survivor's story and the soul of a tiny old man who hates loud appliances, Claude is your guy.
