MEET CLARA!!
Clara was living outside and brought in by our Field Services Team as part of our Trap/Neuter/Return program; we call these felines Community Cats. When she showed signs of being social, we put her on a pathway for adoption. The key to making cats like Clare comfortable in your home is patience. Community Cats are expected to have a very slow transition into a new home. Some cats may acclimate sooner than others but it is important to understand that this process will take longer than it would for a cat with an ownership history. Here are a few things you can expect from your Community Cat:
*Hiding: for the best transition, we highly recommend confining your new cat to a separate room in the home where they can learn about their new surroundings but still feel secure. A small space such as a guest room or extra bathroom are also good safe places.
*Transition: After living outside, being in a home can be scary to a Community Cat, so remember to be patient.
*Hands-on work: Most cats love food and using stinky wet food and Churu treats is a great way for you to bond with your new cat. Using a back scratcher to pet your cat while you're giving them tasty food will help them to associate petting with good things.
Clara is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team.
