Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Meet Claudette – The Sleuth of Snuggles! ‍

A Special Girl Seeking a Patient, Loving Home

Claudette is always on the case, whether she is tracking down the best toys, investigating the mysterious crinkle of a treat bag, or tailing her foster siblings on playful adventures. This beautiful brownandwhite tabby has mastered the fine balance between energetic playtime and expertlevel snuggling.

Once found living outside, Claudette has happily retired from her streetsmart detective days and now prefers conducting her investigations from a cozy lap, her favorite stakeout location. She adores other cats and truly thrives with a feline partner in crime to keep her company and confidence high. She and Dark Passenger get along beautifully and would be a perfect pair.

Claudette is a specialneeds kitty. She has IBS/IBD, which causes chronic diarrhea, and as a result she may occasionally miss the litter box. This is not a behavior issue, just part of living with a sensitive tummy. She does best with caregivers who are understanding, patient, and willing to handle the occasional mess with compassion, along with some extra litter mats and wipes. In return, Claudette offers endless affection, purrs, and loyalty.

If you are looking for a clever, affectionate, and playful cat, Claudette is ready to close the case on her search for a forever home.
