About Harper

Meet Harper, a charming little female kitten ready to find her forever home. At just two and a half years old, she's got a gentle spirit and a story that warms our hearts. After overcoming an upper respiratory infection, Harper did manage to develop a large ulcer on her eye. She's healing well, but her future family should be prepared for possible follow-up veterinary care as her eye continues to be monitored. Harper tends to be a bit shy and might take some time to adjust to a new environment. She's in search of a patient, loving family that will allow her to settle in at her own pace. Keeping her as an indoor-only cat will ensure her safety and help provide the best possible future for her. This little sweetheart deserves a cozy home filled with warmth and affection. Could you be the one to give her the love she needs? Adopting is simple, and our spayed/neutered pets can go home the same day! Visit us in person, give us a call, or apply online. Let’s help you meet your new best friend!
