Harissa's Story

Meet Harissa – Your Sweet Companion <br/><br/>Harissa is a handsome eleven-month-old male Egyptian Mau with a name as delightful as his personality—“Harissa” means sweets in Arabic, and he truly lives up to it.<br/><br/>This charming young Mau is full of life, curiosity, and playful energy. He loves to explore, chase toys, and show off the natural athleticism the Egyptian Mau breed is known for. Whether he's darting after a feather wand or investigating a new corner of the house, Harissa brings excitement and joy wherever he goes.<br/><br/>But Harissa isn't just playful—he's also incredibly affectionate. He forms strong bonds with his people and enjoys being close, often following you around like a loyal shadow. When playtime winds down, he's more than happy to settle in for some quiet companionship.<br/><br/>Harissa would thrive in a home that can match his energy and provide plenty of enrichment, attention, and a safe indoor environment. He's an intelligent cat who will do best with an adopter ready to engage with him and appreciate his lively spirit.<br/><br/>He is healthy, litter-trained, and ready to find his forever family.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a sweet, loyal, and entertaining companion, Harissa is ready to steal your heart. <br/><br/>All of our cats for adoption are sterilized, fully vaccinated, treated for fleas/worms, are negative for FIV/FELV, have a registered microchip, and come with their travel crate. Adoptions are on a cost-recovery basis and are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Potential adopters for our Persian cats need to have prior Persian cat experience as they need to be well cared for. Grooming, dental, and veterinarian exams are done once a year, and a good quality brand of cat food such as Royal Canin, Hills Science Diet, or Purina Pro plan is the upper tier level with a black label.<br/><br/>We are a rescue and get what we get in terms of cats in need of a home. In no way do we work with breeders or buy the cats from the Friday markets so we can put them up for adoption as a rescue.<br/><br/>https://www.petstablished.com/adoption_form/11596/generic<br/><br/>Native Mau Cats of Egypt are the oldest known descendants of Egyptian domesticated cats (which have provided a partial foundation for the recent Egyptian Mau cat breed), and they are one of only a few naturally occurring, small, spotted cats in the world. Adoptions are on a cost-recovery basis and by an approved application. NVEcats aims to increase education in Egypt and around the world about these magnificent and intelligent cats.<br/><br/>Cats and kittens are not adopted out on a “first-come, first-serve” basis. We choose to match our applicants and cats based on what we deem as best suited for that particular cat or kitten.
