My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Orange tabby cats are usually male, but Haru is an extra special ginger girl with the classic friendly, "let's be pals!" personality that one would expect from an orange tabby. She scores straight A's in affection, play time and litter box manners.

Orange tabby cats are usually male, but Haru is an extra special ginger girl with the classic friendly, "let's be pals!" personality that one would expect from an orange tabby. She scores straight A's in affection, play time and litter box manners.

Haru was found wandering in an apartment complex. She followed people on their way to the swimming pool, occasionally finding something to eat. She was mostly ignored, except by one family, who named her Haru after a character from a Japanese fantasy movie "The Cat Returns." There, a little girl named Haru helps a cat.

The family noticed that Haru started looking thin and weak - and it was clear she needed medical help. Turns out, she was malnourished and had worms. At Friends For Life she received medical care and proper nutrition. Months later, she's healthy, playful and ready to find her happily-ever-after home. She now even has an Instagram page so you can see how adorable she is!
