About Harlequin

Harlequin is a young cat whose unique patterned coat fits his lively personality. He needs a home that can keep him engaged and entertained. While he might enjoy the company of another cat, an adopter who is home often could be just as good for him. When it comes to other pets, we believe he’d thrive with a feline friend, though his history with dogs is unclear. For families, kiddos aged 10 and up should be a good match. Harlequin’s activity level is balanced; he’s playful without being overly energetic. He will likely settle into his new home without much fuss. Plus, he takes excellent care of himself. Harlequin is ready for his new vet visits and ongoing care. Ready to meet Harlequin? This friendly kitty is waiting for a loving home!
