About Clarissa

Clarissa is a super gentle and loving cat searching for her forever family. This sweet classic tabby is about three years old and has a cute triangular nick at the tip of her left ear. Having transitioned from being an outdoor cat to an indoor one, she now seeks a peaceful environment where she can play, relax, and feel safe. Clarissa enjoys her affection on her own terms. While she may not like being picked up, she'll happily curl up in your lap when you're settled on the couch or bed. She loves being petted, though belly rubs are a no-go. At night and sometimes early in the morning, you'll catch her in playful bursts, often sharing her excitement with happy meows at meal times. Her sensitivity means she can get stressed easily, so she sometimes retreats under the bed for a quiet escape. While she can coexist with gentle cats who respect her space, she needs a calm home free from any dominant or pushy feline friends. Clarissa is house trained and would thrive with a patient, loving person who understands her boundaries. With room to stretch her legs and the assurance of safety, this affectionate girl is poised to thrive.
