In the shelter’s words
Clarabelle is a real life hero of a cat! She kept her 6 kittens alive and well for 8 weeks on the streets of Chicago while still being pretty much a kitten herself. When a rescuer visited the empty lot she was raising her kittens at- she collected them all and ran over to the carriers asking for help like a true protective mom. Clarabelle has a TNR ear tip because at first the rescuer thought she may have to be returned to the outdoor life. However, I was able to take Clarabelle and two of her babies into my foster home and another volunteer took the other 4 babies. As soon as Mama Clarabelle realized she was safe and could relax she slept so peacefully it was beautiful to witness. She did her job as a mom and now it's time for her to be someone's baby! She is just a young girl- 1 year or younger but with the heart and soul of a mature cat who really knows how to appreciate the warmth and safety of a loving home. All of her babies are black and white like her (except for one orange boy!) so they all have cow themed names. Clarabelle is sweet and gentle and always ready to approach quietly for pets and snuggles. She looks up at you with her striking green eyes and just brings an air of calmness and peace when she is near. She can't wait for the next chapter of her journey where she finds herself with her forever family happily ever after. Clarabelle is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, s payed , and litter box trained. Clarabelle 's adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting Clarabelle, please fill out our Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting.
