Harriet is a 13-year-old beauty who spent most of her life outdoors before coming to the shelter, and is now enjoying the safety and comfort of a foster home. She’s completely deaf and in the early stages of kidney disease, but that doesn’t stop her from living life exactly as she pleases.
Harriet has no interest in sharing her space with other animals. She’ll graciously tolerate humans — mostly because they make excellent food servants and providers of a comfy bed. She’s not aggressive, and she’s easy to care for when needed, but she prefers relationships to unfold slowly. Yet with patience and a gentle approach, she may surprise you with small steps forward.
Her favorite time is nighttime, when the house is quiet and hers alone. That’s when she’ll explore, patrol from a window perch, and enjoy a spirited game with a catnip toy. Daytime is for luxurious naps in sunny, low-traffic spots.
Harriet is looking for a calm, patient, cat-savvy home that will respect her boundaries while still giving her the chance to build confidence and enjoy the quiet companionship of “her” human. She may never be a lap cat, but she’s the kind of roommate who knows what she likes — and when she’s content, her slow blinks are her way of saying thanks.
As we are closed to the public, adoptions are by appointment only. If you have an interest in meeting Harriet, please fill out our online adoption application (https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/MWHS/Cat). We will review all applications and make appointments for those applicants we feel would provide a good and loving home for Harriet.
