About Claudia

Claudia is currently under the care of the vet. We will continue to gather application forms and will reach out to the successful applicant once she is ready for rehoming. Claudia could live with children aged 14+. She would like to be the only pet in the home and is looking for an indoor-only environment. Claudia is a wonderful little lady who heartbreakingly was abandoned here at the shelter, so we have no background information on her previous life. She is blind and our vets suspect she has been so since birth. Claudia does not let her disability inhibit her in any way at all – she is a confident girl who is quick to make friends with everyone she meets! She can get spooked if you go straight in for a stroke, she prefers to have a sniff first and figure out her surroundings and then she’ll soon be purring away and rubbing into you, asking for a fuss! She’s also happy to explore her environment and enjoys treats too. This lovely girl needs a little time to adjust to her surroundings, but once she’s found her feet – she is able to navigate her way around with ease. She would be best suited to a calm and patient family who can give her the patience she needs whilst she’s figuring everything out, and who can cater to the extra adjustments a blind cat may require. Claudia was abandoned at the shelter with another cat who we suspect she has lived with previously. Although the other cat seemed keen to interact, this wasn’t reciprocated by Claudia and so we feel she would be happiest as the only pet in her forever home. This sweet girl has been such a pleasure to spend time with during her time with us here at the shelter. Despite the tough time and all the change she’s had recently, she has so much love to give and doesn’t let anything faze her, she’s a resilient little lady who so deserves to find a forever family who can spoil her rotten and show her the true love, safety and security of a forever home.
