Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Hello, I'm Claudine! I'm a one-year-old queen who loves being the center of attention. While I'm very much a people cat and adore affection, I'm not so fond of sharing my space with other animals-no cats or dogs for me, please! I prefer to be the sole ruler of my domain, and I promise to give you all my love in return for a little attention. I'll follow you around everywhere you go, just to make sure you know how much I care.
I'm also a very talkative girl, so don't be surprised if you hear me chatting away to you. I've got a lot to say! Whether I'm purring for a cuddle or telling you all about my day, I'm always up for a good conversation.
I have a little bit of a backstory-due to an allergy, I lost the fur on my face for a while, but after getting the right medication, it all grew back (except for my eyebrows, which I think give me a really exotic look). I'm on a once-daily pill to keep things in check, and I'm super cooperative about it-easy to medicate!
If you're looking for a loyal companion who will adore you and be your one and only, I'm your girl. I might need a little time to adjust to my new home, but once I do, I'll be the best friend you've ever had. A quiet, single-animal home would be perfect for me, and in return, I'll keep you company, offer cuddles, and chat with you all day long.
Ready to meet your new best friend? I can't wait to be your loyal companion!
Thanks to the generosity of Shelli Presor, my adoption fee has been sponsored!

More about this shelter
The Humane Society of North Central Florida was created in 2018 when the leadership of the Alachua County Humane Society, Gainesville Pet Rescue, and Helping Hands Pet Rescue decided to permanently join forces. By becoming the Humane Society of North Central Florida, our organizations were able to effectively streamline services for pets and pet owners, eliminate any duplication of services, maximize our community’s resources, and improve the life-saving abilities of the entire region.
Our founding organizations have been dedicated to serving pets in Alachua County for more than 40 years. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is a limited intake, no-kill animal rescue shelter. The animals in our facility are transferred from open-intake and/or managed admission municipal shelters across North Central Florida. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is an independent, local 501(c)(3) organization. As such, we do not receive funding from federal agencies, nor are we affiliated with any other state or national organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States or the ASPCA.
