Clarice didn’t get the usual start in life. Born safely indoors after her pregnant mom was rescued, she spent her first year in a quiet space with little human contact. That shy, sheltered beginning shaped her. These days, Clarice has grown into a sweet, affectionate soul who loves being pet and soaks up attention once she feels comfortable. Her playful streak shows up when toys are around and she’s in the mood for gentle fun. She’s got some quirks—Clarice is still working out the world and her place in it. Give her the time and patience she needs, and her loving, one-of-a-kind personality shines. She’s cat-friendly and kid-friendly, which makes her an easy fit for many families willing to let her settle at her own pace. Clarice needs a home where patience and understanding come standard, a place that lets her keep blooming as she finds confidence. She’s a special cat, and the people who choose her will see it every day. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
