About Claudia

Meet Claudia, one of our Celebrity Traitors cats!

Named after the fabulous Claudia Winkleman from The Traitors, our beautiful young black cat Claudia may not have the famous fringe, but she certainly has plenty of charm! This sweet girl is a sensitive little soul who is slowly learning to trust people and is making lovely progress every day.

Claudia can be quite shy when meeting new people and currently prefers the comfort of her favourite hiding spot underneath the shelf in her indoor cat pod. However, once she begins to recognise someone and feels safe in their company, her affectionate side starts to emerge. She's now happily accepting gentle strokes to her head and enjoying fuss from familiar members of the animal care team.

One thing that certainly helps win Claudia over is food! She absolutely loves her mealtimes and is becoming increasingly confident about coming out to enjoy something tasty. She also loves a good snooze and is happiest when she can relax somewhere cosy and quiet, watching the world go by at her own pace.

Claudia is looking for a calm, patient home where she can continue building her confidence without feeling overwhelmed. She's a loving girl underneath those initial nerves, but she'll need someone who understands that trust takes time and who is happy to let her approach for affection when she feels ready. A home with adults or teenagers who can respect her need for space would suit her best.

Claudia has previously lived with another cat, so she may be able to share her new home with a calm, compatible feline companion following careful introductions. She would prefer not to live with a dog and will need access to a safe outdoor space once she's fully settled and ready to explore.

Claudia also has one very special requirement. She has no teeth, so she will need to remain on a soft food-only diet to ensure she can continue enjoying her meals comfortably. Thankfully, this doesn't stop her enthusiasm for food!

Claudia in a nutshell:

- Suitable for homes with adults or teenagers, but no young children - Would prefer not to live with a dog - May be able to live with another compatible cat - Will need access to a safe outdoor space once fully settled - Has no teeth and requires a soft food-only diet - Shy initially but growing in confidence every day - Enjoys gentle fuss and head strokes from familiar people - Loves her food and cosy snoozing spots - Needs a calm, patient home where she can build trust at her own pace - A sweet, sensitive girl with lots of affection waiting to blossom

Claudia may not be the sort of cat who immediately rushes over to greet you, but she's showing us more of her lovely personality every day. Watching her gradually come out of her shell and begin to trust the people around her has been wonderful, and we're sure there's so much more to discover about this special girl.

Shy at first, sweet forever!

And in true Traitors style, Claudia might be keeping a few secrets for now, but we're certain that underneath those initial nerves is a little Faithful with plenty of love to give!

If you have a peaceful home, a little patience and a willingness to let Claudia find her confidence in her own time, this beautiful girl could become a truly rewarding companion.
