Harlee

Some holiday gifts don’t come wrapped in ribbons or tucked beneath a tree—they come with soft fur, bright eyes, and the quiet hope of finding a place to truly belong. That’s Harlee.<br/><br/>Just a year old, this stunning Tortoiseshell/Bombay mix has spent almost her entire life at the shelter. She came in as a tiny kitten with her siblings, all of whom have already found families of their own. Harlee, with her shy heart and sparkling spirit, is still waiting for her forever home—and oh, how she deserves one.<br/><br/>Her sleek, inky coat is brushed with warm tortoiseshell accents, glimmering like swirls of cocoa and gold in holiday candlelight. And her striking green eyes always seem to shine with curiosity and hope. Add her adorable tiny underbite—her little “fang smile”—and you have a one-of-a-kind beauty who brings her own unique charm to the season.<br/><br/>Harlee may be shy at first, but she is extremely playful once she feels safe. This girl LOVES toys, interactive play, feather wands, tunnels, crinkle balls, anything that lets her jump, pounce, and burn off all that kitten energy. Her curious nature comes alive when she’s exploring new spaces or watching the world from a cozy window perch.<br/><br/>Harlee needs a home that understands her personality—no young children and no other cats. She thrives best as the only pet, where she can feel secure, supported, and loved without pressure or competition. A patient, quiet, cat-savvy adult would be her perfect match, someone who appreciates a shy kitty who blossoms through play, trust, and time.<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 Christmas magic.<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.
