About Harry

Harry wandered onto the property at Joyful Rescues around 2022 and quickly claimed his spot among the sanctuary cats. He’s medium-sized and splits his days between the safety of the garage and a heated basement. Harry can’t be handled, but he gets flea treatments when needed and seems content with human company on his own terms. He lives mostly as an indoor-outdoor cat alongside several other felines, making the most of a quiet sanctuary life. He’s neutered, up to date on his vaccines, and has adapted well to group living. Harry could remain at the sanctuary indefinitely, but if someone offers the right quiet home or a caring barn setup, he’d be ready to move on. Start your journey together! Apply now.
