About Harlequin

Meet Harlequin, a delightful baby cat with an adventurous spirit. Born on 5/15/2026, she showcases a beautiful coat of white adorned with patches of black and orange. Harlequin exhibits curiosity and caution, often observing how her surroundings work before trying things herself. You'll often find her peering out the window or napping on your kitchen chair. Having spent her early months outdoors, she takes some time to adjust to indoor life, and you’ll need to earn her trust gently. Treats like Churu will go a long way, as will engaging playtime with mice toys. Currently, she has only interacted with her three siblings and is unfamiliar with dogs or younger children. While she hides when scared, she has not shown aggressive behavior. To help her adapt, it would be best to consider adopting her with her sister Nala, or ensure she has another kitten or young cat as a friend. Harlequin is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and ready to find her forever home. Please visit our PetSmart Adoption center at 16257 N. Scottsdale Rd. in Glendale, AZ, to fill out an application in person. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
