Haruto is a gentle cat who loves to snuggle and enjoys being close, often perching on a friendly shoulder. He’s currently living with stage 2 renal disease, which emerged either from birth or prior exposure to toxins, so his adopter will need to stay on top of his specialized care. This means a special renal-support canned diet, supplements, and eventually daily subcutaneous fluids. Right now, Haruto is doing well and has no problem using the litterbox at his foster home, though he has an odd habit of wanting to pee in the bathtub. Patience and some veterinary or medical know-how will be essential for anyone considering Haruto, as his medical needs are ongoing. He is neutered, microchipped, negative for FIV/FeLV, and up to date on vaccinations. Despite everything, Haruto is loving and affectionate—ready to form a deep bond with the right person. If he can’t find a permanent family, his foster rescue will keep caring for him as a sanctuary kitty. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
