About Clara

Clara is a tabby cat participating in our Camp Purr program. This program is tailored for feral or semi-feral cats, aiming to settle them as outdoor working cats. Adopters must be committed to providing food, water, and shelter while working with our team to help Clara adjust. Because she’s accustomed to her fellow Camp Purr cats, Clara must be adopted alongside at least one other cat from the program. Each adoption has a fee of just $25, and rest assured, all cats have been spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. If you’re interested, Clara is available for adoption by appointment only. Please start by answering a few questions, and a Camp Purr Counselor will reach out to you soon. She is currently located in Des Moines, IA. Let’s find Clara a loving environment that suits her needs!
