Harlee — A Playful Tortie with a Dash of Sass

Some souls are quiet, gentle, and deeply deserving of a place to belong. That’s Harlee.<br/><br/>Just one year old, this stunning Tortoiseshell/Bombay mix has spent nearly her entire life at the shelter. She arrived as a tiny kitten with her siblings, all of whom have already found loving homes. Harlee, with her tender heart and playful spark, is still patiently waiting—and she so deserves to be someone’s chosen one.<br/><br/>Her sleek, inky coat is kissed with warm tortoiseshell accents that shimmer like cocoa and gold in the light. Her striking green eyes glow with curiosity and hope, and her tiny underbite—her endearing little “fang smile”—makes her truly unforgettable. Harlee is a one-of-a-kind beauty with charm that sneaks up on you.<br/><br/>Though shy at first, Harlee truly comes alive once she feels safe. Playtime is her happy place. She loves toys—feather wands, tunnels, crinkle balls, anything she can chase, pounce, and leap after. Watching her confidence bloom through play is pure joy, especially as her curious nature takes the lead.<br/><br/>Harlee is looking for a home that understands her needs and respects her gentle personality. She would do best as the only pet, in a calm, adult-only household with no young children. A quiet, patient, cat-savvy person would be her perfect match—someone who appreciates a shy soul who blossoms through trust, play, and time.<br/><br/>Harlee has waited so long. All she needs now is the right person to see her, choose her, and give her the forever home she’s been hoping for.<br/><br/>Harlee is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, FeLV/FIV negative, has excellent litter box manners, and is ready for the next chapter of her life.<br/><br/>And while she may look like a holiday treasure, Harlee isn’t just wishing for a Christmas home—she’s hoping for a forever home. A place where her playful spirit, gentle curiosity, and sweet soul can grow long after the decorations come down.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loving, lively companion to share many seasons to come, Harlee is waiting with quiet hope and a heart full of love.<br/>Fill out an adoption application at https://hcpawpals.org/cat-adoption-form/<br/> to schedule a meet-and-greet with Harlee. Sometimes the best Christmas stories begin with a quiet “yes.”<br/><br/>** Veterinary references and, in some cases, home checks are part of our adoption process. Paw Pals maintains a firm no-declaw policy, and all cats are placed in loving homes where they can stay safe, healthy, and happy. Paw Pals will consider adoptions outside our immediate area, but we require in-person pick-up to ensure every match begins with a meaningful connection.
