About Claire

Meet Claire, a senior beauty with a cloud-soft, long torbie coat and the quiet confidence that only comes from sixteen years of good living. Claire lost her lifelong person recently and now needs a gentle home to call her own. She prefers calm routines—expect plenty of napping in her favorite cozy spot, with the occasional slow stroll to survey her little kingdom. Still, she perks up for good company and welcomes gentle pets with quiet gratitude. Beneath her serene nature, Claire has a flicker of playfulness that surfaces when the mood strikes. Mealtime is a highlight—wet food in particular wins her heart. She’s lived peacefully with respectful dogs and cats, so as long as housemates are polite, she settles in just fine. Claire is front declawed, making an indoor-only environment essential for her safety. What she’s looking for now is pretty simple: soft landings, warm laps, and someone who won’t mind a steady companion quietly sharing their space. Claire is in a foster home in Royal Oak, MI and waiting for someone to bring her home for her golden years. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
