About Haru

Meet Haru! He’s a charming 3-year-old Domestic Short Hair who takes life at a leisurely pace. You’ll often find him cuddled up in his favorite cozy spots, relishing a good nap because, let’s face it, there’s nothing like a little rest. But don’t think that means he’s always sleepy. Once night falls, Haru transforms into a little adventurer, zooming around and exploring his territory. He’s curious by nature, always on the lookout for the best napping place or a sunny window to survey his kingdom. Cuddling is on Haru’s terms, so be ready to respect his timing. He can be quite engaging with his human companions, but he prefers a calm environment, especially around children. While he manages well with respectful kids, he’d rather avoid those who might poke or pester him. As for dogs, he’s not a fan and would thrive best in a dog-free home. His experience with cats is limited, so it’s uncertain how he’d react to a feline housemate. An important note for his future family: Haru is on a special urinary diet, which needs to remain a staple in his daily routine to keep him happy and healthy. This laid-back guy offers companionship through his love for naps, exploration, and the occasional cuddle when he’s ready.
