Claire, often called Mama, is a six-month-old spayed female Domestic Shorthair with striking black fur and a loving heart. She’s the kind of kitten that seeks out human companionship, eager to curl up next to you for some quiet snuggles. Playfulness runs through her too; when she’s not pouncing or romping with other foster kittens, she’s looking for gentle pets and affection from her people. Claire has faced a lot for her age, having already mothered and cared for her own kitten. Despite her early challenges, she is thriving and shows the kind of loving, tender nature that makes her a wonderful companion. Claire does well around other cats and kittens, and would be happiest with calm, respectful dogs and older or quieter children who know the rhythms of a cat’s comfort zone. Her litter habits are consistent, and she’s always been reliable in her routines. Claire prefers dry food (Science Diet Kitten) and isn’t enthusiastic about canned food. Raised in a clean foster home with plenty of enrichment, Claire is healthy, spayed, and her vaccines are up to date. She’ll fit best in a calm, loving household that appreciates a gentle and affectionate kitten who wants to stay close. HART recommends that young kittens like Claire be adopted with another for companionship. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
