Clara

Mixed Breed Cat Β· Female Β· Adult Β· 8 years

πŸ–€πŸ€ Could Clara be your perfect companion? πŸ€πŸ–€ Beautiful Clara is an 8-year-old tuxedo girl who is searching for a peaceful forever home where she can finally put her paws up and enjoy life at her own pace. Due to the sad circumstances in which Clara came into our care, we aren’t entirely sure of her previous lifestyle. Because of this, she may be suited to either an indoor-only home or one with access to a safe outdoor space where she can explore and relax when she chooses. Clara is looking for a calm and understanding home where she can be the only pet. She cannot live with other cats or dogs and would be happiest in either an older person’s home or a quiet family environment with older children who will respect her need for space while she settles in. At first, Clara may take a little time to trust, but once she knows she is safe and loved, she rewards that patience with plenty of affection. Beneath her gentle exterior is a loving girl just waiting for someone special to give her a second chance. 🏑 Quiet, calm home required 🐾 Only pet home 🐢 No dogs 🐱 No other cats ❀️ Loving and affectionate once she gains your trust 🌳 May suit indoor-only living or access to a safe outdoor space If you can offer Clara the peaceful retirement she deserves, she would love to meet you!

About Clara

What life with Clara looks like

Clara is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Avid in United Kingdom.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction β€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Clara, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Clara?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Avid handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Clara on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Clara if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Avid will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Clara already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Clara isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Avid early rather than rehoming privately; they know Clara and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect β€” names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
