About Harriet

Harriet is a true queen looking for an experienced cat lover to become her loyal subject. She rewards gentle attention with her sweet meow and loves a good head scratch, but you’ll have to earn her trust. Harriet feels most comfortable as the only cat in the home, so she’ll need to be your one and only feline. She’s friendly with respectful dogs, and older children who understand her boundaries should do well with her. For her age, Harriet still has a surprising amount of energy and delights in toys and independent play. She’ll bat at you with her paw if she disapproves—a gentle reminder that she’s in charge. Tasty snacks, especially Churu, win her over fast. A safe, secure yard would be ideal for Harriet to explore and enjoy with her family. If you’re patient and respect her space, she’ll show her affectionate side and keep you entertained. Ready to give this regal lady her throne? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
