My story

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

Meet Harvey: The Playful Heart with a Silly Side
If you’re looking for a double dose of love and a kitten who will keep you laughing, meet Harvey! This sweet girl is a delightful mix of shy sensitive soul and energetic comedienne.

Her Personality
Harvey is a "look before you leap" kind of girl. She is shy at first when meeting new people or entering new spaces. She likes to take a moment to assess the situation from a safe distance before she decides to join the party.

However, once that initial shyness melts away, watch out! Harvey is:

Playful & Energetic: She loves to chase toys, pounce on shadows, and engage in "zoomies."

Wonderfully Silly: Whether it’s a funny sleeping position or a goofy expression, Harvey is constantly doing things that will make you smile.

The Dynamic Duo: Harvey & Ivory
The most important thing to know about Harvey is how much she loves her sister, Ivory. They are a package deal! Having Ivory by her side gives Harvey the confidence she needs to come out of her shell. They play together, groom each other, and provide the ultimate comfort system.

Her Perfect Home
Harvey is looking for a "forever" home where she can stay with her best friend, Ivory. Her ideal environment would be:

Patient & Gentle: A home that understands she needs a few days (and maybe some treats!) to feel brave.

Full of Toys: A family ready to engage her playful side once she’s comfortable.

Shared Love: A place where both sisters can grow up together and fill your life with twice the joy.

Are you ready to welcome this sweet pair into your heart?

Additional adoption info

Shady's Paw Animal Rescue works diligently to pair our cats with the perfect home. The adoption process can be done in a few hours or it can take weeks - it just depends on when your references call us back and when you schedule your home visit.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Adoption events are held regularly in the community at Petco Winchester VA every other Saturday. Additional events are held at area festivals, wineries, breweries, and parks. Approved adopters can schedule a private meet and greet with their chosen pet. Same day adoptions are not done, so please apply in advance of any adoption event to give us time to check vet and personal references and to complete the video home visit.
