About 🔔Clarabel🔔
Clara is a three-year-old British Shorthair looking for a forever home where she can finally be loved and cherished for who she is.
She’s a gentle little shadow! Sweet, soft-natured, and happiest when she’s quietly nearby, waiting patiently for a pat or some attention. Like most British Shorthairs, Clara isn’t a fan of being picked up, but she adores being close and simply wants to be part of your world.
With time to settle into her foster home, Clara’s playful side has blossomed. She enjoys batting around ping pong balls, sneaking into cupboards, and curling up in a cosy, enclosed bed. A keen bird-watcher, she can spend hours soaking up the sun from a windowsill, contentedly watching the world go by.
Clara hasn’t had the easiest start to life. After being passed around by breeders, she can still be startled if touched in the wrong spot or approached too quickly. While she enjoys pats, she isn’t quite a snuggler yet but with patience, kindness, and the security of a calm home, we know she’ll continue to grow in confidence and affection.
She would do best in an adult home, or with older, respectful teenage children who understand her need for space in the beginning. Clara has been in foster care alongside Clementine (who she arrived with) and would happily coexist with a proven cat-friendly feline companion. A small, gentle dog may be manageable, but larger or boisterous dogs may overwhelm her.
Clara has been desexed, microchipped, and is up to date with her parasite treatments and vaccinations. She is currently in care in Mornington and is seeking a forever home within a reasonable driving distance.
If you’re looking for a gentle, sweet companion to share your world with, and you’re happy to go at her pace, Clara may be the perfect addition to your home.
