About Clayton

Meet Clayton, a friendly orange and white Domestic Short Hair who has made his home from a stray life in an apple orchard and barn. He’s been well-loved by a young man, who is the inspiration behind his name. Clayton is a gentle giant who adores attention. Approach him, and he’ll be eager for pets and affection. While he enjoys the comfort of an open catio, he can be a bit shy around other cats and may prefer to have his own space, making him a great candidate for a single cat household. Clayton is adaptable and would thrive with any type of adopter—whether a single owner, a couple, or a family. His loving personality combined with his calm demeanor makes him ready for a forever home. Clayton is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. He has an approximate birthdate of October 5, 2021. His adoption fee is $95. Anyone interested in giving this gentle soul a loving home is encouraged to apply.
