About Harriet

Harriet is a short-haired tortie kitten and is part of a bonded pair with her sister Hazel, who is mostly black with some gray markings. These two treasures are looking for a forever home together. Having been born in a feral cat colony, they were brought to a loving foster home where they have been nurtured and cared for. Harriet is sweet and craves affection, though she still needs some patience to build her confidence. She enjoys gentle pets and responds with soothing purrs when she's appreciated. Hazel, her more laid-back sister, is affectionate without being clingy, delighting in being petted and held. Both sisters are playful and thrive in a calm environment, loving an array of toys, including the classic laser pointer. They will flourish in a home with quiet older kids or adults, but they do best away from boisterous settings, especially those with dogs. Harriet and Hazel have been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and they are negative for FeLV and FIV. This dynamic duo deserves a chance at a loving forever home. Meeting Harriet and Hazel begins with submitting an application. Click apply to start the adoption process.
