About Harper

Harper is a charming black female cat, estimated to be born around June 3, 2025. She’s ready for her second chance after overcoming some significant challenges. Rescued from a hoarding situation, Harper was emaciated and suffering from chronic ear and respiratory infections. While surgery was needed to treat her ear issue, she has made a full recovery and doesn't let her quirks slow her down. Her left ear lays flat, and there’s minor paralysis on the left side of her face, but this playful girl loves to pounce and enjoys her favorite mouse toys, feathers, and laser lights. Harper has a delightful personality that combines independence and affection, punctuated by her little love nips when she’s feeling extra cuddly. She gets along well with both cats and dogs but would also thrive as your one-and-only feline companion. After her journey to health, Harper is eager to find a forever home where she can just be herself and enjoy life to the fullest. Currently, Harper is microchipped and in a loving foster home in Garland, TX. She’s house trained, altered, and up to date on vaccinations, waiting for someone to give her the warm and loving environment she deserves. Are you ready to welcome Harper into your heart?
