Meet Clarissa! Her previous family shared that she is incredibly friendly, sweet, and affectionate-she truly enjoys being around her people and soaking up all the pets she can get. Whether she's leaning in for attention or keeping you company nearby, Clarissa is the kind of cat who makes a house feel like home. She also has a playful side and especially enjoys wand toys, making her a great mix of cuddly companion and fun playmate. Clarissa has lived with another pet before, but as with many cats, she'll do best with a slow introduction to any new furry friends in her future home. Clarissa might just be the perfect match for you! Ready to Adopt? You have two options: #1- VISIT IN PERSON Come during our open adoption hours: Tuesday - Saturday,12:30 - 3:00pm.
