About Harold

Harold is eager to find his forever home! This affectionate orange tabby boy is about 3 years old and loves to curl up in a lap for cuddles. Although he can be shy around other cats, he thrives best in a calm environment—either as a solo cat or with easy-going companions. With Harold, you'll always have a warm lap partner ready for a cozy snuggle. Additionally, Harold is microchipped, ensuring easy identification if he ever gets lost. At Feral Affairs Network, we usually encourage adopting two cats together so they can enjoy each other’s company when you’re away. This helps minimize mischief and keeps them happy and engaged. If you're interested in meeting Harold's siblings, let us know! As every cat takes time to adjust, we recommend keeping the Rule of Threes in mind when transitioning a new pet into your home: 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to settle into routine, and 3 months to truly acclimate and blossom. Every cat from our organization comes spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, with health screening to ensure they are ready for their new life. Ready to bring Harold home? Hit apply and let’s get started!
