About Harry

Harry is part of a remarkable group called the Ernest Hemingway Babies—older kittens who have earned their night owl status and literary names. While some of his siblings sport the famous polydactyl extra toes, Harry brings his own brand of charm as part of this quirky, sweet-natured crew. Raised under a porch and only recently introduced to the comfort of steady human touch, Harry’s life story is more Hemingway grit than glamour. The kindness of patient rescuers has helped him and his siblings discover the joys of gentle petting, even if he still carries a hint of shyness from his cautious start in life. If you look beyond the younger kittens and offer Harry a little bit of patience, he’s ready to open up and give everything he’s got. This older kitten might take a minute to fully trust, but he has plenty of warmth and character to bring into the right home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
