About Clara

Meet Clara! This young Domestic Short Hair is looking for a forever home that has another cat. Clara was part of our Trap/Neuter/Return program, formerly a Community Cat who needed a little extra care. Once she was brought inside, she quickly showed her social side by snuggling up to another cat in the Cat Colony room, so she must be paired with a resident feline in her new home. Patience is crucial for helping Clara transition. After living outdoors, a new home can be intimidating. We recommend giving her a quiet, secure space like a guest room to explore at her own pace. Bonding through food can make the process easier; consider using stinky wet food or Churu treats. Clara is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and ready for her new adventure.
